50 Things That Make Me Happy

Saturday, 9 January 2016


Hello Everybody!
I came across this lovely blog post a while back and loved it so much that I immediately started writing down my own list. As I've grown older I've learned how much you have to appreciate the little things in life and you never realize how much of a difference they make to your happiness. When I'm stressed, it's nice to look back at a list like this be reminded of all the things that make me feel better.

Here are 50 things that make me happy:

1. Books. Lots and lots of books. 

2. Coffee, made just the way I like it. 

3. My dog's faces when I get home from work.

4. Starting a new planner in January. 


5. Superhero movies. 

6. Snow. The more like Narnia, the better.

7. Interacting with other bloggers.

8. Feeling comfortable in my own skin. 

9. Wearing new socks for the first time.

10. Going to concerts.

11. Getting into bed with fresh sheets.

12. Roller-coasters.


13. Buying new stationary.

14. YouTube videos.

15. Getting that perfect photo.

16. Getting on a plane before a holiday.

17. Wearing bold lipstick.

18. Mexican food. 

19. My family (seriously, how did I get so lucky?)

20. Mash-ups of pop songs. 

21. Beach days.

22. Mint chocolate chip ice-cream.


23. When my favorite song comes on the radio.

24. Looking at old photos.

25.When someone smiles back.

26. Blogging <3

27. Getting new tattoos.

28. Pop music.

29. Seeing squirrels in America.

30. Watching Chuck. 

31. Baking for my family.

32. Skiing. And not falling over once!

33. Movie marathons with friends.

34. Spontaneous adventures.

35. Wearing big hoodies.

36. Sloths. 

37. Creating and coming up with ideas.

38. Christmas time. 

39. Flat-lay photos.

40. Liking every song on an album.

41. Working out in an empty gym.

42. Lindt Chocolate. 

43. Margaritas.

44. When my liquid eyeliner game is on point (Which isn't very often, so it's nice when it works)

45. Making pancakes. And eating them.

46. Listening to movie soundtracks. 

47. Having my Mum's fruit crumble for dessert. 

48. Finishing a running event.

49. Seeing my hard work paying off at the gym. 

50. Hawaii. My ultimate happy place.


Now it's your turn! What makes you happy?

      Yay! I'm glad. I thought I was one of the only people who listened to movie soundtracks! That's awesome.
      You can't beat a nice tweet! I feel weird for doing it sometimes but I love supporting fellow bloggers.

    Love this list, Steph! Little things like these make me so happy. Few of them: making others laugh, hiking, getting on a plane, reading a comment on my blog, getting new fuzzy socks, drinking Latte Machiato, completing a puzzle and so on :)

    I love this, too many times I think about things that are bothering me rather than appreciating the small things. A lot of the things you listed make me happy too! Can I try your mum's fruit crumble? haha!

      Aw yay! Yeah, it can be hard to stop and enjoy the little things that make us happy sometimes. I'm glad we have similar taste! Haha it's amazing because she always puts sour fruit in it and hazelnuts in the crumb for extra crunch. It's so good!

    Awww, I love this post. I still have a draft of a similar post waiting but it's not finished. Your post reminded me of it and I should get it done. It's nice to see what makes other people happy and to find things where you're like "yeah, me too" and things where I think "really?!" Stationary, fresh sheets, Christmas time?! Definitely on my list, too. :)
