15 Simple Pleasures

I was inspired to do this by a friend, who recently did it on her blog (http://thequeensthrone.tumblr.com/ - check it out!). So here are 15 things that make me happy.

1. Reading

2. Reading outside

3. Getting inspiration from magazines (recipes, decorating ideas, life decisions….)

4. Being with my family

5. Travel

6. That creepy but extremely peaceful quiet right before a thunderstorm

7. Riding in my car with the windows down

8. Good music

9. Perfectly sunny and cloudless days

10. Daydreaming

11. Shopping

12. Learning something new

13. Helping someone

14. That initial excitement I get when I become completely obsessed with something (Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Hunger Games)

15. Food!

14. I don’t know if this happens to anyone else, but I go through phases where I become completely obsessed with something. It can be book series, TV shows, random people, anything. Usually it’s something completely nerdy or something that will most likely NEVER happen in my life, which is why I get so obsessed with it I think. Currently, I’m obsessing over the show Skins, and before that, it was the book series Hunger Games. I don’t know why, but every time it happens I get really excited and it’s a really good feeling that I can’t really explain. But anyway, it made the list. I’m pretty weird. :/
