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 - Thursday (Day 4)

Hello, hello, hellooooo! I hope everyone reading this had a lovely day. Mine was pretty uneventful, but here are my Mini Happies of the day...


1. I woke up really, really early today and couldn't get back to sleep. I normally detest early mornings, but today I quietly tip-toed down the stairs, making sure I didn't wake anyone else so I could enjoy some quiet time by myself. I made myself a cup of tea, curled up on the couch, and had free rein of the TV for a whole three hours. It was great. 

2. I remembered how grateful I am to have such fabulous best friends that are there to cheer me up etc when I need it. I'm a lucky gal!

3. I used a new conditioner today, and now my hair smells really good. 

4. The weather was nice. I'm always grateful for a bit of sunshine and blue skies.

5. We had another family dinner tonight, except this time we ordered Domino's pizza. I'm such a sucker for pizza, but the best part was the chocolate brownies we got after. Chocolate brownies are life. 

This post is a bit shorter than the previous ones, but I'm tired and I think I just need to take time to chill out tonight. See ya tomorrow!

Mini Happies - Wednesday (Day 3)

I'm writing this past midnight, so technically it's Thursday, but let's just ignore that. I hope everyone had a wonderful Wednesday, full of Mini Happies. Here are mine! :-) 


1. My mum woke me up with the best cup of tea this morning. She's a wee gem!

2. Three days a week we look after my little cousin, Leo. He's currently at the stage where his speech is really coming on, and finally, after months of training, I taught him to say my name. There's room for improvement, but it made me smile, and he was so happy with himself.

3. I was having a bit of an anxious morning today, but I challenged myself to get ready and go out like I had planned. I'm so glad I did as I ended up having a nice afternoon shopping and chatting with Shanice. A familiar face and a conversation with your best buddy is sometimes the best therapy.

4. I finished shopping for Rachel's birthday presents today, and I wrapped them in the cutest wrapping paper. I'm also very sure that she'll appreciate her birthday card too (wink, wink!)

5. Had a fab dinner with my mum, stepdad and three of my brothers (Declan, Jack and Connor). It's nice to sit around the table and catch up with the family once in a while. 

6. I had a good night with Shanice, Rachel, Callum and Jamie. We didn't really do much, but it was nice.






And there are my Mini Happies of Wednesday 15th April 2015. I'll be back tomorrow. See ya! X

Mini Happies - Tuesday (Day 2)

Hello! Today I've been in a horrible mood, but let's reflect on the good parts shall we? Here are my Mini Happies of the day...

1. This morning my mum and stepdad thought it would be funny to wake me up by blasting a song called "Wakey Wakey" through the Sonos speaker in my room. I did not enjoy that one bit (I'm not a morning person). However, once I'd woken up a bit and recovered from the shock, I laughed, and an added bonus was that my mum felt bad so she made me my breakfast and a cup of tea. It's always good to start the day with a smile, even if it's a little bit delayed!

2. I spent my morning jamming to 80's music, it was fab.

3. I had a little cry when I finally realised that my baby brother is turning three this week. It was a nice cry, if you know what I mean haha. Anyway, I haven't seen him since January as he lives down in England with my dad, and I don't get to spend much time with him, but I spent a while looking at some of his baby photos, and that totally lifted my spirits. He's such a special little boy, and I'm SOOO proud to be his big sister. 

4. My friend, Rachel, made me laugh a bit more than usual today with her witty comments. I appreciate her humour. 

5. I spent a good few hours doing some pretty successful revision. It takes me a lot of motivation and effort to sit down and do it all, but my exams start in less than a month, so it had to be done. I feel a whole lot better for doing it though, like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. 

6. My mum bought be this chocolate pastry thing today, and I actually have no idea what it was. But I do know that it tasted incredible. 

7. My stepdad told me all about his exciting plans for my Mum's 40th birthday in a few months, and it made me smile that the element of romance and surprise still exists between them 11 years later. Actual relationship goals. 

Anywayyyy, I hope you had a tippity-toppity Tuesday. Lots of squeezy hugs. xxx

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.

Friends.

So, it has been a while since my last post, and I've been struggling to think of creative things to blog about. I'm still struggling, so I thought it would be nice for me to blog about something for myself. To remind myself that I have fabulous friends who'll be there to cheer me up when I need it (ew soppy). Anyways, yesterday was Shanice's (my best friend) birthday and she threw a party to celebrate. It was a good night, with lots of laughs and love and I'm going to leave some photos here.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, and see you soon! X
