Friday Five

Perhaps I should chalk it up to drinking regular protein drinks and taking lots of vitamins, or perhaps the consistently beautiful weather, but past week or so I’ve had more energy that usual which makes it much easier to see the sunny side to life! I pride myself in my ability to see the world as I want to see it: endlessly beautiful.
I thought I would share five things making me really happy this week!

(above) My two favorite purchases that will be in heavy rotation this spring, taupe Steve madden ankle boots and a Missoni inspired top from H&M. Both are perfection and will be worn with skinny jeans and shorts.

A quiet moment during a beautiful walk after my first week in my first “corporate” job, listening to “Young Blood” and feeling pretty satisfied with life!

Remembering the incomparable Lovejoy Bakery in Portland and the coconut moka that was so good it didn’t need any sweetener to be the perfect Sunday drink!

Selling a painting, then seeing it hanging in an office! Yes, I sell paintings on the side!

A deliciously outlandish display of balloons from a best friend in celebration of my new job! The sweetest delivery man completed the gesture! (He told me the view from my house was amazing and he was going to take a picture, show his wife and say “look where I got to be today.” Kind of melted my heart!!!)

I hope everyone can take the time to remember the things that make life sweet! Instead of thinking about the things you don’t have, think about all the cool things you do have!

Cheers!!
