10 Things That Make Me Happy

Life will go by in a blink of an eye, and we will often not realise where
the times goes. Being caught up in our busy schedules and commitments, we can
often forget about the little things in life, the things that matter and the
things that make us happy. So a little lightbulb came on in my head and I thought
I would share with you ’10 Things that make me Happy’…
1) Cup of fresh tea in a China teacup
Yessss, I know I
sound very snobby but I wouldn’t be a true Brit if I didn’t like a good cuppa
tea, and not just any cuppa tea but a proper tea – like loose English Breakfast
tea leaves, made in a teapot and served in a China teacup. I most certainly got
this from my mother so call me old fashioned, but I guarantee this will be the
best tea of your life. Tea will never be the same again.
2) Pepe
Pepe is not just my Pug
dog, he is my little baby. I absolutely adore
everything about him, unless you own a dog it’s hard to understand but he
really does make me smile just from him being cute or silly or coming to cuddle
me when he/me feels poorly. It’s just like they know?
3) Chinese Food
Now I don’t mean the high
calorie takeaways, I mean authentic Chinese food cooked by my pops. For those
who don’t know, I am part Chinese which means not only do I have some exciting
heritage but I also means I am lucky enough to be gifted with great cooking
genes. I have learnt lots of authentic family Chinese dishes which my pops had
taught me, which were passed down from my Nana.
4) Stationary
I have an unhealthy
obsession with stationary, and by unhealthy I mean UNHEALTHY. I buy new
stationary for the sake of it but then sometimes don’t dare use it as I don’t
want to ruin how pretty it looks. I fail to believe that I am the only one out
there who has this obsession? Either way, whether it be a new pen, notebook,
stickers, washi tape or just something to decorate my new books then I have to
have it. And if I am sad just give me a new pretty notebook and you will have
my heart forever.
5) Shopping
I know that most girls
loves shopping, but I really do love it. I will gladly just get in my car and
walk around my local shopping centre with a coffee just browsing at items. Even
when I am not buying anything, I still enjoy window shopping. Me and my best
friend always go shopping together
and we always end up spending at least a full shift shopping, chatting and
having lunch.
6) My Fiance
I am not just writing this
on the off chance that he is reading this, but he really does make me smile. He
knows how to wind me up, he knows how to make me laugh and he knows how to make
me feel like the only girl that matters and no matter what I wouldn’t change
him. He is my soul mate and I can’t wait to marry him in October.
7) My Best Friend
Sounds weird putting my best friend, but its true when
they say “you don’t need lots of friends, you just need the best” and I really
do have the best friend ever. We have known each other for many years now and I
know he will be my best friend for many years to come. He is more like my
brother that I never had rather than my best friend. He just knows what I am
thinking, knows how to make me laugh, knows when to be brutally honest and is
just there when you need him.
8) Autumn
I just LOVE Autumn, it is equally my favourite season
(to Spring), I just love the warm colours, the crunchy leaves and the cosy
blankets. One thing I look forward to in Autumn is coming home from work and
getting snuggled in PJ’s, fluffy socks and a blanket and sitting watching a
movie with a nice cuppa tea. I also love Autumn mornings when its foggy, I love
going outside in the cold fog and having a morning cuppa coffee and just listen
to the birdies wake up – probably sad I know but it really is the little things
in life.
9) Presents
Now don’t worry, I am not being shallow by saying I love
presents as I actually love giving presents. The thought of spending time and
effort into finding a perfect present for someone and then spending time
wrapping the presents beautifully and to then see the recievers face when they
open a present is priceless. I just love knowing that I have made someone happy
and have made their day.
10) Making People Smile/Happy
This might sound strange but I absolutely LOVE doing
thing that make my people smile or be happy, whether it be a family member or a
close friend or even a stranger that you have never met. It’s the gesture, and
seeing someone smile or doing something nice that make’s someone feel good
about themselves and I am a strong believe that there needs to be more kind and
genuine people out there – so if you see someone today after reading this, no
matter if you know them or not, just smile, or engage in conversation or do a
good deed. Trust me you will feel better for it.
What
makes you happy? Are there any on my list that would feature on yours too?

I am so jealous. Authentic Chinese food is the best. I had a chinese flat mate for a bit at uni and he used to cook for us sometimes and it was amazing. Tea also makes me smile. Its like a hug in a mug
