Mini Happies - Sunday (Day 7)

So, we're finally through the week which means this is my last "Mini Happies" post. I'd like to take this time to reflect on the week I've had, something I don't usually take the time to do. For many, my week probably seemed a bit average, but I've actually overcome a few big issues this week. For instance; I made a solid start on the revision that had filled me with dread beforehand, I overcame my anxious thoughts and feelings and went out with my friends because I didn't want to miss another good time, I made some new friends (I think so anyway haha) in Callum and Jamie, I realised that I can rely on myself more than I thought, I ate lunch at a restaurant which is something that would've totally freaked me out a few months ago, and most importantly, I became aware of my newly-found excitement for the present and the future. Who would've thought that taking note of some little things that appealed to me each day would change my perspective on things this much?

I really would recommend this mini project to anyone who knows they take things for granted. I know for sure that I'm going to continue doing this everyday,but I will not continue to post them on this blog. If these posts inspired or entertained even just one person, then I've achieved my goal. So, without further ado, here are my last day of "Mini Happies".


1. I found my old Glee boxset, so I watched most of the first season today. It brought back so many memories, and I think it's going to be my latest addiction.

2. I painted my nails today, and they turned out really shiny, neat and smudge-free. I cannot tell you the last time that happened. In fact, I don't think it ever has to be honest.

3. I successfully revised again today. I feel so accomplished!

4. I blow-dried and straightened my hair. It's gotten so long recently, but it never seems that way due to the fact I always let it dry and wear it naturally curly. It also feels so soft and nice. 

5. I had a good FaceTime session with Shanice. We don't really talk much, just keep each other company. She's a good egg, that one. 

6. I start back at school tomorrow, and usually the night before I'm an emotional, anxious mess. However, tonight I'm feeling organised and chilled out. I'm actually looking forward to seeing everyone, and since this will be my last week of school before study leave, I'm going to try and make the most of it and stay positive all week. 


Thank you for taking the time to read these 'Mini Happies'. I'll be back with another post mid-week. Over and out! X

Mini Happies - Saturday (Day 6)

It was a lovely, sunny Saturday today, and I have been in the best mood. I hope everybody else had a wonderful day, and without any further rambling, here are my Mini Happies of the day.

1. I spent my morning looking at holiday clothes online. I absolutely HATE traipsing around disorganised and busy shops looking for things to buy, but when it comes to online shopping, I'm hooked. Anyway, I've set my heart on a few things I am going to buy for my holiday to Feurtaventura in July (I'll probably blog about them when the time comes). New clothes make everyone a little bit happy.

2. It was glorious weather again today, so I sat out in the garden with my mum and we had a nice chat about the future, and going to university and stuff. As an anxious person, these types of things tend to freak me out, but as I'm getting better at coping with my anxiety and accepting it, I'm becoming increasingly excited for the future and the adventures that lie ahead. That's quite a Big Happy for me.

3. I shaved my legs and took time to moisturise them today, it was so worth it. Having silky smooth skin is such a good feeling.

4. My mum went food shopping today. If  a full fridge doesn't make you happy then what will to be honest?

5. Me and my brother, Declan, who is twelve, brought the washing in from the line then folded it and sorted it into the correct piles. I know that seems like a weird thing to be happy about, but Declan and I are really similar, so often our personalities clash. As we've gotten older, we don't spend much time together just the two of us, so it was nice to have ten minutes to catch up. 

6. I went to Shanice's with no makeup on, wearing baggy grey joggies and a grey hoodie and my hair scraped up in an unruly ponytail. She didn't bat an eyelid. True friendship goals right there.

7. Shanice and I watched the Jersey Boys movie. It was fab! Those types of films are totally my thing, and the music was right up my alley. It's a real feel-good film, and I would totally recommend it.

I hope you liked my Mini Happies of today, and feel free to comment below some of your own. See ya tomorrow for my final 'Mini Happies' post. I love everyone! (Yes, even you...)

Mini Happies - Friday (Day 5)

Don't panic, it's finally Friday. Not that it makes much difference to me as I'm still off on holiday. Today was a fun day with my friends (Shanice, Rachel and Clare), so I wasn't short of Mini Happies for today. 

1. I had a good hair day today. That never happens. I appreciated that.

2. Today it was Rachel's 17th birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHEL!! We all went out for lunch to Frankie and Benny's to celebrate. My food was so good, and to be honest, I was more excited about the chips than anything else. And the brownies and ice cream we got afterwards. Too good. 

3. We went to the pet shop and saw some really cute rabbits that made me really happy.

4. Shanice was wearing a very cuddly jacket today and I just hugged her for a while. It was cute. 

5. I got to give Rachel her presents, and she liked them. It's always a good feeling when someone's happy with the presents you buy them.

6. Today it was also my little brother's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CJ!! I can't believe he is three already. There's thirteen and a half years between us, but I'm so glad there is. I feel like we have a stronger bond because I can help care and nurture him, and he can rely on me. I'm so so so blessed to have that gorgeous little boy in my life, and I can't wait to hug him tightly next time I see him, and my beautiful little sisters too. Family makes me happy.

7. I had lots of laughs with Shanice, Rachel and Clare. They make me happy too.

8. I took lots of cute photos today.

9. My friends let me listen to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack in their presence and if that's not love, I don't know what is. 

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY CJ

HAPPY 17TH BIRTHDAY RACHEL

I hope you all had a fabulous Friday, and I'm curious to know some of your Mini Happies! Toodlessss X

Mini Happies - Monday (Day 1)

Happy Monday everybody, I hope this week is treating you well so far. Today's blog post is inspired by Louise Pentland, aka Sprinkle of Glitter. For the past few days she has been posting on her Facebook profile what she calls "Mini Happies". These are basically little things that bring joy and happiness. So, everyday this week I'm going to post my Mini Happies of each day, as I think it's a lovely way to encourage myself to appreciate the small things. So, here are today's Mini Happies. 

1. I had the loveliest lazy day watching Friends in my pyjamas until half three in the afternoon. It was nice to not worry about revision after a busy day yesterday, and lazy days are my favourite.

2. Today I burned the really nice candle I had bought a couple of days ago. It's the White Cotton jar from Dunnes home section, and one of my absolute favourite candles. It smells so good! 

3. I had the best cuddles from my little brother earlier. He's just turned ten, and thinks that he is too cool for cuddles. However, today must've been an exception as he came home looking for hugs.

4. I finally tidied my room and it feels good to have a nice, clean space to spend time in now. 

5. I sorted out my very messy stack of English notes and sheets, and put them all into a shiny new ring binder. 

6. I'm writing this blog post while wearing the most cosy hoodie, with a cup of tea, a hot water bottle and watching Toy Story 2. Amaaazing.
