Gratitude Friday!
So It’s been pretty long week. I’ve had lots of early mornings, midterms coming up, personal stuff going on, and all of that can make life overwhelming. I have been trying really hard to make myself happy despite all of it, and I have found that gratitude, even if it’s in the smallest form is helping me achieve that goal. So here are somethings I am grateful for:
I am grateful for coffee. With my early morning classes, coffee has been my lifesaver. I especially love mornings where I have time to sit and enjoy my cup of coffee, it’s my favorite way to start my day. Recently, I have especially been loving Grande Kaffee Chocolate Cappuccino, and The Village Coffeehouse hazelnut flavored coffee I found at Tjmaxx. The chocolate coffee doesn’t taste like chocolate but it does have something special about it and it smells amazing! The hazelnut one also smells delicious and tastes even better! I have to say that even though I am a devout Starbucks lover.. these brands give Starbucks some serious competition!
I am grateful for green smoothies and wedge salads. I am kind of a hypocrite when it comes to being healthy. I strongly believe that nutrition is the key to being healthy, and I always rant at other people to eat healthy but I definitely struggle with following my own advice (at least while I am living the college dorm lifestyle). So green smoothies have been a godsend to me because I finally consume enough vegetables on a daily basis, and I eat kale (a vegetable that I absolutely cannot stand unless it’s in a smoothie). In addition to green smoothies, my boyfriend introduced me to wedge salads a few weeks ago (it’s just lettuce, fetta cheese, a few tomatoes and ranch dressing) and they are my new addiction. I also discovered yogurt ranch that is made with all natural ingredients and while it’s still technically not good for you, it’s better than regular ranch but still tastes delicious!
I am grateful for makeup. Makeup is my sanctuary. Playing with it, is one of the few things that really makes me relax. I can easily spend an hour just playing around with eyeshadow! Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t think that makeup is something that I need or can’t go a day without wearing.. it’s just something that I really enjoy experimenting with. So I am very thankful to have it in my life. I am also very happy to have my beauty blog, because nothing makes me happier that discussing beauty related things.
I am grateful to be more than half way done with college!! While I am blessed to be able to get an education, school is exhausting and I am excited to be done. I have no idea what the future holds, and I am terrified of the “real world” but man oh man I can’t wait until the day I get my degree!
Last but not least I am grateful for my health and to be able to enjoy my life. This is one is pretty corny, especially for someone as cynical as me, but recent events have really made me aware as to how lucky I am to even be alive, to be healthy, and to be able to live comfortably. It really is a blessing to be healthy.
What are some things you are grateful?
