Emma Gannon's challenge- 60 things that make me happier.

Soo, I love reading Emma Gannon's Girllostinthecity blog. Absolutely LOVE. I've been reading her stuff occasionally, for maybe a few months or so. And no, I don't know her personally or anything like that, but I always feel inspired after browsing thru her page.(Came across it I believe thru Pinterest.) Well, I recently read this one in particular and she ended it with a fun challenge: writing your own 60 things that make you happier. Oh while doing so, feel free to be gushy and cheesy or whatever. Only rule is: be happy while doing it. So here I go, no holding back.

1.Watching Grey's from the very beginning, now currently on Season 10. And the hubz loves it just as much now.

2. Constantly laughing out loud from 'New Girl'. You have to have a weird sense of humor I think for most of this show, but most ppl would agree it's hilarioussss. Watch it from season 1 if you haven't already.

3. Road trips. Whether its an hour and a half drive to visit New Smyrna or a random drive to St.Augustine, I love it.

4. Pillsbury chocolate cookies. You know the ones that you find in the fridge section, yeah those ones. Ahh-mazinggg. (Add that with some Netflix and wine and its a perfect night in my book.)

5. Speaking of wine, my favorite since last summer is  Sangue Di Giuda. So good. (P.s: its not found everywhere, I usually have to make a drive down to St.Augustine or Nsb to find it).

6. Writing out my weekly 'to do's list'. Idk I guess I feel more organized by doing that. And staying organized definitely makes me feel happy.

7. Ocean views. Who doesn't love those?

8. Sleeping in on Saturdays. (usually for me means anything past 7:30, but hey...I'm ok with that.)

9. Lazy Saturday mornings+ morning bed cuddles+ homemade brunch with my boys.

10. Texting/calling/catching up w/ friends/family I haven't heard from in a while.

11. Sending one of your good long time friends whom you haven't seen in a while b/c their now in the peace corp (all the way in Malawi!) a package + a hand written letter.

12. Quiet mornings sipping tea and reading either a good book or magazine. (Or just checking out everyone's SnapChats, tbh)

13. Funny morning radio talk shows on the way to work. (one of my fave's: SteveHarvey)

14. Listening to Tidal. (My favorite road music right now: Wale's new album- looove that he always adds Seinfield into his music, XAmbassadors (Gorgeous is a goood song), a few other random genres, and yesss yall...I love Beyoncé's new album as well!)

15. Conversations/texts with my mom. And gma.And everyone else.
