Lately on Instagram...

Lately I've been trying to focus on the little things that make me happy and incorporate them into my life more frequently. I recently joined the site Happify which is a positive, thought provoking community that gives you short activities to complete each day that help you focus on gratitude, mindfulness and the important things in life. {It's still in the early stages, but I'm a Pioneer and can send you an invitation to join if you are interested! Just shoot me an email using the "email me" button on the right hand side of my blog.}

I think it's important to treat yourself as well as you would your best friend - if she was sad, would you buy her flowers to cheer her up? Bring over her favorite treat? If you're feeling down or just having an off day, then you should do these things for yourself as well!

I've captured some of the little things that make me smile with Instagram and wanted to share the photos with you today. What little things make you smile when you're not feeling your best?

I like to buy flowers for my desk at the office to add some color and life...

...and for my coffee table in my apartment so I have something pretty to come home to.

Sometimes a Friday night in with wine, cheese, crackers and some TV is all you really need!

I treated myself to this sparkly half moon mani!

my cat Phoebe makes me smile when she acts like Monorail Cat

going to a Bruins game with my Dad is always a blast!

relaxing in a pink, floral-scented bath is pretty much the best way to unwind!

a fun surprise from my friend Joia...she needle-felted me this cute little kitty and mailed it to me along with a sweet handwritten note!
