ten happy things:

the little things that make life beautiful {as of late}:

1. holidays that insist on me wearing my favorite color: green.

2. cadburry eggs and girl scout cookies.

3. homemade banana bread with whole wheat flour. yum.

4.  getting a little package in the mail from little brother:

{a t-shirt with the mexican flag. too cute and funny. oh, and something for my smash book too}

5. watching downton abbey with lovebird. [every night.]

we are a bit addicted.

it's apparent we are quite connected to the characters:

we both looked over at each other with tears in our eyes after a death in the episode.

6. washing my face with the {trendy} mia. 

there's a reason it is trendy: it works wonders. 

7. the saying "brunettes have more fun".

it's fun being on the dark side for once. pun intended.  

8. the lovely peter pan collar.

i think it is so feminine and classy.

{i love this, this and this one. i want them all.}

9. wearing my hunter boots like they're going out of style.

thank you, rain.

10. warm weather for the mere purpose of not having cracked/dry hands.

you have no idea what my poor hands have looked like.

this is a true blessing.
