Happy Friday

It's been months that I joined in with Krysten, Charlotte, and Lindsay and their weekly link-up. I have always read them {yes yes!!} but needed to step back. I am back though, and while I can't guarantee how consistent, I am planning on being better than just writing once a week. A much needed break from blogging was needed. I missed blogging and the community that comes with it but I also enjoyed not using my computer more than I already needed to. I have been busy otherwise and I think that is amazing for me. :)

So, without further ado I am going to share what made me happy this week because that is what today's post is all about!!! 

1. Valentine's Day Dinner with my hubby!

2. Less rain

3. Coffee

4. Owl pajamas

5. Text messages

6. Newly painted window sills

7. A clean car

8. Stress Away Essential Oil

9. Kitty cuddles 

10. This Is Us

Life is too short to stay and be negative. Yes, there's a lot of stuff going on in the world and it is no fun. I have so much to say to this, but at the same time I want to cherish happier moments. I want to enjoy things that make me happy; share them with people I care about and want them to be as happy as they can be. It's the little things...even if it is a quote I love, I will share that beauty. Even if it is today's DMV appointment I am dreading...I will find something there that will cheer me up and make me smile!!!! :) 

Happy Friday, now go and link up!!

Happy Friday & Happy September!

Happy Friday everyone.

Oh, and yes, happy September, too. To me, fall has officially started. I know, I know it is not official until close to the end of this month but to me fall starts on September 1. That's it. I can't wait for cooler weather, rain, pumpkins, wearing scarves, wearing socks, layering up, and drinking hot drinks without getting hot flashes. It's still warm here so I am only dreaming about fall but I know it is slowly approaching.

Today, I decided to finally link up with some awesome bloggers again. I haven't done this in weeks, or months?! Life took over and sometimes it is just not fun to schedule posts ahead of time because they won't reflect what's going on in my life. So, here I am today...sharing with you what made me happy this week and linking up with Krysten, Lindsay, and Charlotte. Join the fun and say hello!

1 - New semester began {meaning, B is closer to the end of his ordeal}

2 - Eye infection is slowly coming to an end {hallelujah!!}

3 - No more cable fees

4 - Projects

5 - Evening walks to walk off dinner

6 - Our loud next door neighbors have moved out!

7 - Red nail polish

8 - Found two new recipes

9 - NingXia Red

10 - Blush

This week wasn't very spectacular. College finally started again and B had to attend his classes. Poor guy is so over school. That's what you get when you choose a field that requires so much work and so many classes, and hours, and what not. Almost done. Almost. We had a setback in that department though as one class didn't let him in. Graduating or not, they do not care. I won't get into this but man, the school system is oh-so flawed!
In other news, it has cooled down which allows us to sit on our patio and walk at night again {or in the morning!}. I don't want to jinx it but we are out of the triple digits. This also means cooler days are coming our way, and with school having started, the cold and flu season is around the corner as well. I am helping my whole body be prepared for what may come our way. Prevention is everything. I've been drinking my morning antioxidant immune booster for weeks, and I am loving it and can feel a huge difference to the days when I forget to drink it. I have more energy, don't get that afternoon slump anymore, and my joints don't hurt as much either. Oh, and my gluten belly is taken care of as well...heck, my issues are barely noticeable. I'm a much happier girl, trust me. And happiness is all I want in life. How can one be happy when the whole body is sick? Exactly, not! So, I'm taking care of that on a daily basis. Hope you are doing the same!

With that, I'm ready to tackle Friday and the weekend!! Blush always makes my rather pale self cuter {I have a tan I swear but it's literally unnoticeable}, and a glass of wine for dinner is always a great choice! :)

Happy Friday, happy September, and happy early Labor Day!

Happy Friday - I am Alive!

Happy Friday my lovely readers. I know, it's been a while. I honestly didn't feel particularly like blogging this week. This is not an excuse, it's a fact. I guess I was still very much enjoying my birthday week, and by that I mean I was trying to stay off the internet, off TV, and off social media. Yes, you read right. I missed some of it, that much I can admit. I am alive, I promise you this. I believe with summer having started in my neck of the woods {we already had temps in the 100s} I mainly focused on staying cool and relaxed. Sometimes, a girl's gotta take a break from it all. 

So, with a birthday week having ended yesterday {already!! What?!}, here's what made me happy this whole week...because, well, it's always great to look back at the fun, happy, cheerful moments we experienced in life. Let's get started with the ten things that made me happy this week and link up with Krysten, Lindsay, and Charlotte. 

1 - Family get together

2 - Lunch date on my birthday

3 - Homemade Birchermüesli {recipe coming soon}

4 - Game of Thrones

5 - Free Coffee

6 - Physical Therapy at my Chiropractor

7 - Most pain gone

8 - Costco Run

9 - Young Living Essential Oils

10 - Birthday cards

If we are friends on facebook you know that besides all this loveliness there is a ton that didn't make me happy whatsoever. I won't go into details but I have learned that silence isn't always the best. When we have something to say to a topic, we should voice our opinion because our opinion counts for something. Blame my education, but human rights, any misuse of any human {or animal of course} makes me so mad I can't even put proper words together. It practically leaves me speechless. Therefore, I tend to look at the little things in life that bring a smile to my face. Bring it on Friday!! Make me even happier today!!

Hope your week has been great...and that the upcoming weekend brings you much joy, laughter, rest and most importantly happiness!!

Happy Friday - Spring Love

Is it really Friday already? It's is insane how fast time flies. It's already mid-April, too...slow down there, time, will ya? Besides my awareness of how fast time flew by in the past few weeks, I hope your week has been great and that this month has treated you fairly well. 

Like most Fridays I am linking up with Lindsay, Krysten and Charlotte for their weekly series 10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week. Join the fun if you wish...it's a lot of fun! :) Let's look at what made me happy this week...because there is always something that makes one happy and smiling! Always!

1. The Catch

2. Windy days...yes!

3. Raclette

4. Pearl - our new car

5. Sweet Tea

6. Sitting outside on the patio and enjoying dinner and drinks

7. Gray nail polish

8. House scouting {in our area this time}

9. Better focus thanks to Rosemary essential oil

10. Wifi working again {yay!!}

It's been a great week. The sun is back and their forecast for a rainy couple of days was a fail, so you could find me outside a lot. I love this spring breeze we are having lately...so refreshing and not at all bothersome. I love the wind. There's people who don't like windy days because it messes with their hair but I really don't care about that...I love when my hair gets all messed up...ok, maybe not to 100% but I still love it. :) 

Am I the only one loving this?!

Happy Friday my lovely readers...hope you're having a fantastic weekend!! I'm going to enjoy it with B as this is the only weekend he gets off this year! Yes, this year, only weekend, and I am so taking advantage of this!!!

xoxo

Happy Friday!!

Happy Friday my lovely readers,

So this week was not my week at all. My weekly post didn't get published until, well, many days later and I have no idea why. I think I either forgot to hit publish or something went wrong...now it's up which to be honest doesn't really make any difference. I'm shocked I didn't notice. Oh well, life continues, doesn't it?

So let's jump right into this post, shall we? List most Friday I am linking up with Krysten, Lindsay and Charlotte for their weekly linkup series "10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week". I think it's fun to look back at any week and find the little {or big} things that made me smile, dance, laugh out loud or just jump for joy! Since this week wasn't the best let's see if I can find something that still brought made me smile...

1. Warm weather {hello, 80 degree weather!}

2. New spring shoes...thank you Target

3. Working out

4. No issues with my allergies

5. Criminal Minds {I watched it a week later than normal}

6. Breakfast for dinner

7. A very special wine delivery

8. Thai Food

9. Sour-Cherry drink

10. Thieves cleaner - it literally got rid of a lot of red wine my man spilled the other night. I mean, it was red, very red and it was late and I didn't want to give up and be mad the next day, so I took thieves cleaner and literally put it all over those awful stains and wow, everything is gone!! GONE!!

I found a few things that actually made happy and smile this week. I am beyond happy now. Yay! What about you, what made you happy this week? Join the fun and link up with a few of my favorite bloggers!!!

Happy Friday, and happy early weekend!

Happy Friday Spring Edition

Happy April 1!!!
It's a new month, it's a new day, and it's a new moment to enjoy everything life has to offer. Like most Fridays I am going to share with you what made me happy this week. The little things in life count. I could go on about how precious life is and how we should seize each day to the fullest but you all know that {I hope!}. The little things in life are often overlooked and literally ignored and I believe this is the wrong approach to wake up in the morning and get ready for the day. So here we go...here are the little things that made me happy this week:

1. Friends

2. Good news from the doctor's

3. Baking yummy pie

4. Warmer temperatures {wooohoooooo spring is here!!!}

5. Helping friends out

6. Criminal Minds

7. Waking up to sunshine in the bedroom coming through the blinds

8. Jacuzzi time

9. Reading more and keeping up with people...

10. No meat this week...yup, none!!!

This week has been productive. Thursday wasn't my day but I got a great massage so that was a good thing. But man, I hit every single red light in the city. I had every slow driver in front of me. I had every stupid driver next to me not signaling. Everything got done but it was a draining day. Spring has finally arrived in Northern California...no more rain. We are still in a drought but hello, I like to have a bit of sunshine here and there. Finally able to wear my pretty sandals again. Yay!!!

Anyhow...hope your week has been good, filled with little things that made you happy this spring time. As always I am linking up with Krysten, Lindsay and Charlotte. Join the fun!! I love this weekly series. It makes you think about your life, your week and yes, you got it, all the little things enhancing your life!!

Hope your Friday is good and your weekend will even be better!!!
Happy April!!!

Happy Friday - Easter Edition

It's Friday before Easter. Can you believe it? I can't. Time sure flies, and it's crazy that it's almost end of March. Hello, time, slow down please!!! It's been a whirlwind of a week. A good week though. It has shown me that there is light at the end of the tunnel and that everything will work out well. So, with Easter literally knocking on our doors, I'm sharing with you what made me happy this week...and of course I am linking up with Krysten & Lindsay again. Hop on over and join the fun. You won't regret it.

1. Getting rid of our Honda CRV and buying a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee. Loving it!

2. Sunshine

3. Early Easter dessert

4. A hair cut that was long overdue

5. Surprises

6. House scouting {hahahaha}

7. Commissions

8. Walks and hikes

9. Figuring out my credit score! YAY.

10. Deadpool

What made you happy this week? My Easter edition of my Happy Friday post is pretty much complete. I made an early Easter dessert as I felt it was the right time and I wanted to test bake it too. What if I bake it on Easter Sunday and it won't turn out right? I don't want this to happen. So I made the dessert {recipe will follow, I promise} and it came out perfect!! Everyone loved it and we practically ate the whole cake!

Happy Friday and happy early Easter!!! 

Hope you're having a fabulous weekend.
