Nine Things

To be completely honest, {because, you know, it's so important to be truthful on the internet} it's been a very exhausting, challenging week. Little sleep, high emotions, and a very busy schedule was not a kind combination for this girl over the last six days.

In order to start this next week on a better foot, I've chosen to highlight the things that currently make me very happy.

{Taking the time to bake banana-chocolate chip cookies}

{My aunt painted and gave me this beautiful piece. The picture to the left is of my mom, around age 13.}

{This display makes me happy, simply put.}

{My color-coded bookshelf that stands out whenever you enter my living room.}

{Finally getting time to read all the magazines from the last few months - yes, there's a May 2011 on top of that pile. Don't judge.}

{A few fake flowers really help to liven up my room}

{The pretty display atop my dresser.}

{My jewelry tree.}

{And finally, I treated myself to a Lush trip in order to stock up on some of their valentines day products!}
