Things That Made Me Happy This Month

Life is better when you can find beauty and happiness in everything. So, this month, that’s just what I did.

I’ve been doing much better about trying to find the good in all things to help me love my life more.

I decided to create a joy list of the things that made me happy. This way I would have a visual representation and reminder to look at so I could do these things more. These are some of the things that made me happy this month.

#1. Remodeling the Laundry Closet

I had been wanting to remodel the laundry closet for about a year now. I kept pushing it off because I wanted to have my unfinished project done before starting to work on it. But, an opportunity came about to do a collaboration with Pods detergent, so I used that as an excuse to get the laundry closet I always wanted. And do I wish I would have thought to do it this way when I first bought my house? I absolutely love the way it turned out. I will be sure to do a full reveal of it soon!

#2. Meeting New Friends

One of my goals for the year is to have better relationships. This month I have done just that. I’ve met some great new people that I have formed wonderful friendships with. I’ve also met up with some of my blogger friends that I’ super excited to meet up with tonight to celebrate two of their birthdays.  

#3. Late Mornings

I have been taking full advantage of my late mornings. I love being able to just relax on Saturdays and go through my full morning routine without feeling rushed. It’s the only day I get to sleep in, and by sleeping in I mean waking up at 6:00 am.

#4. Having a Clean and Tidy Home

Talk about struggle city! It is so hard to keep my home clean. I’ve even toyed with the idea of hiring a maid service.  Which I am not completely over that idea. But even with keeping my home clean being a struggle, I love how free and peaceful I feel when I have a clean space.

#5. Practicing Self-care

I’ve made it more of a habit to take better care of myself with things I once took for granted. Practicing relaxation techniques and getting even going to get my nails done helped to brighten up my mood.

#6. Creating My Dream Space

I know I’ve already hit on home decor with my laundry closet, but turning my entire home into my dream space brings me so much joy. I absolutely love coming home to a space that is visually pleasing while still being warm and inviting. I think my space tells a lot about me as a person.

#7. Starting My New YouTube Channel

I am so excited I finally took the plunge this month and started my second YouTube channel. I’m so happy that I have a place to post the videos and content that will mirror my blog and will help more people along their journeys through life. I have so many ideas about the content I want to post on there and I can’t wait to get it going. Make sure you jump over and hit that subscribe button!

What are some of the things that bring you joy?
