Something that I am working on trying to do more of is to practice gratitude each day. We often run around this rat race we call life and we forget to take a moment to be grateful for the small things in life. So instead of focusing on the things that frustrate me, I am going to spend more time highlighting the little things that make me happy each day. They may seem small, but it truly is the little things that make life great.
1. Exploring my city: One of the best parts about starting this blog ( there are many) has been exploring Chicago and finding cute little nooks to take photos in. I love location scouting because every single time we go out for pics, I find two or more places to add to my list of locations to shoot. The other great part about this is that my husband and I get to spend time together exploring the city and capturing photos for my blog although his story about this adventure might be a little different.
2. Fresh juice: For the past week or so, I have been sharing my morning juice creations on Instagram. This is one of those small joys of my life because it allows me to be the mad scientist I am with mixing different fruits and seeing how the juice comes out. Juicing has been having some amazing benefits on my skin and digestive system, so I hope you will follow along with my journey on Instagram too!
3. Finding shows with six or more seasons on Netflix: Anyone who knows me well will tell you that I have the hardest time doing one thing at a time. Because of this, I like to have the tv on in the background when I am working on my blog. Oddly enough, I am able to get my work done, and still, have a good grasp of what happened on the show. Plus, when I find a show with several seasons, I will be glued to my chair working for hours on end.
4. New clothes: I am a fashion blogger, so big duh on this one. But not just regular clothes, I also get super excited when I get new gym clothes. I go to the gym at 5 am, so I am pretty sure no one gives a crap what I am wearing, but I love getting new clothes for the gym. I feel like a kid on the first day of school with my new outfit when I buy new gym stuff. 🙂
5. Matcha: In addition to juicing a few times a week, I also try to drink matcha. I love buying the matcha powder from Trader Joe’s and mixing it with coconut almond milk. It is a sweet treat that will make your heart happy.
