The Struggle Is Real...

Hello there my friends!

I hope your Christmas season is simply splendid, are you all done shopping? Have you found that perfect gift for that special someone yet? Don't worry I know you will!

I recently enjoyed a phone call from my fiance in which he was attempting to wrap presents for his first time since he was very little. The following is what happened during our phone call.

Chris *wrapping paper crunching loudly* "oh.... I got it.... wait...."

Me "You ok?"

Chris *louder wrapping paper noises* "almost.. got it.. and that's how it's done." *wrapping paper ripping* "...you're suppose to see the present after you wrap it right....?"

Me "Of course dear!"

Chris *wrapping noise continues* "...tried to use the extra wrapping paper for a bow... ya that didn't happen"

Chris *wrapping stops & cue music* "...it's the most wonderful time of the year..." *crunch, chrunch* "this is awful.... *sigh*....what time is it?"

Me "it's 10:12pm"

Chris "yup the rest are going in gift bags... 4 are hand wrapped that's all you get... I give up"

Me "I love you"

 

In his defense he didn't have any professional help.

And for the record I loved every gift he wrapped and didn't!

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas Eve and don't forget the reason for this joyous season of giving.

Merry Christmas!

Having An Off Day? Try These 10 Things!

We all have those days... the kind where you just want to curl up in bed and sleep till tomorrow. Getting stuck in that kind of funk can mess up not only your day but weeks, and months soon follow. I've compiled a fun little list of 10 things that help me on an off day and I have a feeling they might be able to help you too!

1) Put on a feel good song!

No Adele no Civil Wars I'm talking fun up lifting music! A song that you just want to get up and dance, or maybe a song that just makes you SMILE! Here's a few that put me in a good mood!

 

2) Change your outfit!

You've worn it all day any way! It's gross it looks the way you feel so you might as well look the way you want to feel! If that means heels and a LBD (little black dress), or jeans and a fresh v-neck, do you! It's time for a costume change ladies!

3) Put some lip gloss on!

Why wouldn't you?

4) Take a tea bath!

Taking a tea bath is relaxing and leaves your skin feeling amazing!

5) Go for a drive on some back road!

There's nothing like driving down an empty road with the windows down and your music blaring

6) Drink something special (not alcohol) tea, coffee, etc!

Make your favorite tea, splurge on a Starbucks you deserve it!

7) Clean up!

If your house/room/apartment is messy go clean it! It's making your crabby anyway! 

8) Read a good book (I recommend the Bible)
Take a breather, enter into a new story or learn something new!

9) Wash your hair!
You'll feel instantly better & refreshed!

10)  Paint your nails!
Go all out! 10 different colors!

Well there you have it! 10 ways to turn your not so good day into one that you can be happy with! Remember you deserve to do something YOU want to do!

Blog Every Day In June/ Someone That Makes Me Happy #4

Someone that makes me (very) happy is my sweet boyfriend Chris!

How can I even begin?! He is the perfect boyfriend for a girl like me! We met at college this past fall and will be dating 7 months on the 11th! (We started dating on 11/11!!) currently we live 10hrs apart from each other. I'm the northern girl who fell for the southern boy! What can I say, ladies love country boys. Besides being able to make me laugh no matter how I feel, he gets me! Every time we spend together becomes an adventure and a memory to smile back on. I thank God for Chris each and every day because I am absolutely blessed to have someone like him in my life. He makes me happy when my world is shaken, and I love him very much so!
