Jar of Happiness 2014

So its mid January, I'm all over the shop and its only the start of the year! Honest to god, theres no hope for me. But let us ignore that, as you all love me really (well I'd like to hope!). Today I want to tell you about a nice little project anyone can do as a pick me up during the year. I robbed this idea from Yaz of GlitterMamaWishes. 

2014 is a new year, so why not try to make it a happy one? This is a really simple idea. Get some pieces of paper, just little bits, and when something good happens to you write it down and pop it into a jar. Come new years eve or day you will have a full years worth of happy things that have filled your jar, open them up and see your year! It a lovely little pick me up and a push to make the next year just as happy. Thats it!

 You can decorate your jar whatever way you like to make it extra special  and something lovely to look at too. I've decorated it with my first ever Glossy Box ribbon and also a gilttery silver ribbon that I took off one of my goodie bags from the Christmas blogger dinner hosted by Lisa from PinkSugar, they make me happy and remind me of the surprise I got in the post and the lovely night I had with all the blogger girls.

If your stuck for ideas don't be, its your jar and theres no right or wrong thing that you can throw in. I have a note about my amazing sale buys as I get so so happy when I get a bargain! I have a little note about Stephen as he is really just what makes my world go round (Yeah soppy, sorry) and even a really nice weekend I had recently being with my friends just hanging out. I know all these little notes will make me smile when I read them again at the end of the year.

I went on a search to find nice coloured paper to brighten up my jar, I found a full note pad of them for €2 in Tiger the other day and the jar itself was from IKEA for €1.50. Now theres a cheap and cheerful project for the year! As always I hope everyone is having a fab week and remember, be happy :) x

Life Makes Me Happy

I share so much of my life with so many wonderful people, I'm really lucky to have them all. And so in this post I want to share with all of you what makes me happy in life. For one being able to blog about all the things I like and getting to talk to others because of it give me excited butterflies just thinking about it! Its strangly calming being able to make photo collages or spending ages thinking hard about how to tell you all about a product. 

Instead of going left to right, I'm going down in rows as its easier to follow! 

Row one: Onion rings that are to die for, genuinely have never had nicer ones. (post here) / My new flower tattoo is my latest piece and I'm delighted to finally have it. (post here) / A sneaky snap of myself and Stephen, no doubt giving out to the poor guy. / Nivea factor 50+ from one of the first hot days of summer, I went to the beach with friends and it was great. / Catness stretched out  asleep in the sun.

Row two: The lovely Stephen who is too cute! / Dodie in a rare moment of staying still long enough to photograph / Some beautiful flowers my mom gave my gran.

Row three: The side street Skinflint is on (post here) / My handmade birthday scarf (post here) / Andrew and me at my birthday dinner / Thomas driving looking posh / One of my most proud blog photos of late, all in line. (post here) 

Row four: My friend Siofra and her amazing hair / Feeding our pigeons in the sunshine / Some of my besties who came to my sisters wedding (post here) / Catness in her normal spot, taking up the whole couch! / Van, me and Stephen in Bobos (post here)

Row five: Me being a bit mad. My friends chinos were a cool turquoise colour  / Lush face mask that I really liked (post here) / 21st birthday balloons that my mom got for me (love her for the effort she put in)  / Me and Ciaran on a fo cow couch at my birthday dinner / blackberries I took some photos of on a walk near my house.

Thank you for all your support and reading my blog. If your new, welcome! As always ladies and gents, have a fab day x
