11 Happy Things and Stylish Blogger Award

I was tagged awhile ago by the very cool writer of Sparkled Beauty to write about 11 things that make me happy, so here goes and if I've repeated myself, my apologies!

  1. Sleeping in: I look forward to nothing more than Saturday and Sunday mornings when I can wake up at an ungodly late hour and not have to be anywhere - tis pure bliss.
  2. Baby bunnies
  3. New things: clothes, shoes, purses, and makeup all apply to this one
  4. Being tagged and given blog awards: it's so nice to be thought of by fellow bloggers, especially when one is feeling burnt out on writing and despairs that anyone out there even cares
  5. A sunny beach on a warm day
  6. Yoga: I agree with Sparkled Beauty, yoga is a time for my own self-reflection and an escape from my troubles. I just wish I had more time to do it!
  7. Warm cookies straight from the oven
  8. My friends and the boy of course!
  9. 50% or more sales
  10. Doing nothing at all kinda excites me lately too, since I barely have any time when I'm not working or blogging haha
I also received a Stylish Blogger award from Liv of It's a Beautiful Life! Thanks so much!!



Blogging is like a second job to me, but sadly over the next month I have to apologize if my posts become slightly less frequent or I take longer to visit back your blogs. I'll be pulling in a bunch of over-time this next month at work, as well as working on an outside project related to Schema Magazine, and I'll be going on vacation mid September to visit my partner in crime Julie of Pop Champagne!! Thank you though so much to every person who has ever read and commented on my blog though; you really are the motivation to keep me writing and I pass this tag and award onto anyone who wishes to partake as you're all just awesome!!

congrats on the award! Keep writing, trust me, we all care! I am definitely with you on new things & sales, especially if you can get something new AND on sale! I wonder if women ever get tired of shopping...? Anyway, about the hooded jacket, I think it was pure luck that I found a jacket I liked with a hood; my favorite places to buy are bluefly & revolveclothing, though you might want to try londonfog.com too.

I'm wondering the same thing about my blog too, don't know anybody reads it, lol... Thanks for accepting the tag.\

Sounds like you are going to have some great fun. Tweeted you 2 contacts for Toronto and Montreal but you might know them already :-)

Great list! A lot of the same things make me happy too, especially sleeping in, bunnies, and new purses. ;-)

Good luck on all the extra OT at work.

The Anthology said...

Congratulations!

I can totally relate with how lovely it is to do absolutely nothing sometimes. Especially since it sounds like you're going to be quiiiiite busy over the next little while.

Congrats on the awards! I agree with #10. Even on my days off I seem to lack the time to do everything I want. I'm off on vacation in Sept as well and can't wait! It's finally going to be a real vacay and not a business travel.

Livie said...

Aww...Baby Bunnies made your list - that's awesome.

I find that i'm always on the go so things like sleeping in, doing nothing and preferably eating cookies straight out of a warm oven are things I'd love to indulge in more.

Keep up the good work!
