What Makes YOU Happy? #2

Heyy !

Yesterday, I posted the first half of this mini series ( You can find the post here )  all about the small things in life that makes you happy but you often disregard them as silly, unimportant little things ( if you even notice them ) . I asked 8 different bloggers to tell me all about the little things in their lives that make them smile, because smiling is good :) Here's what they said :

Hello,
The things that make me happy are quite simple and not really things that I appreciate normally.

Seeing my family and my little cousin running up to me, arms open wide for a cuddle.It's something really simple but I love having cuddles with her and my family. It really makes me feel like I'm part of an amazing team of people. 

A full subscription box on YouTube. Again, something very simple but I love coming home after a stressful day and finding that all of my favourite YouTube channels have uploaded something new for me to waste time watching. 

Time and a half on Sunday. Work on Sunday can be annoying but it's much better knowing that I get paid time and a half. It makes my day that little more bearable. 

Comments on my blog, This is the best part of my day. I love coming home to see that people have commented on my blog, it really makes me feel like what I write about helps people in some way. It also makes me feel more connected to other bloggers and my readers. 

Having a lush bubble bath. After a long day I love coming home to a hot bubble bath with a lush bath bomb in it. I love being surrounded by the bubbles, I pop on my face mask, put spotify on the Sam Smith Album or Adele and then just let all the worries of the day get washed away. 

Not having to go out on rainy days. Now I love the rain but I love it when I have the day off and I wake up to hear it pouring with rain. I love it even more in winter. Knowing that I don't need to go anywhere and that I can put on a series of Doctor who and snuggle back into my duvet. One of life's little pleasures.

Jess from Spring Baby 

Here is a list of things that make me smile:

1. Seeing a happy family laughing and playing together at the park or pool or other public places. 

This makes me feel all nice and happy for that lovely family. 

2. Having the sun wake you up in the morning. 

This is actually the best thing ever! 

3. Having finished everything on your daily To Do List, whether it was on a written list or mental list. 

I always write lists, just to have the satisfaction of crossing off the things you have done and gotten out of the way.

4. Being awake to see the sunrise. 

I am rarely up early enough to see the sunrise, so when I do see it, it is so much more special. 

5. Watching old home videos or looking through old photo albums and scrapbooks. 

I love reminiscing, seeing how I acted when I was a hyper four year old. It's pretty funny seeing a smaller version of you running around like a maniac! (Thanks for all the sugar, Mum and Dad.)

Katie from Katie Cup Of Tea

• Finding a good book that you can't put down 
• Walking on the beach at sunset/sunrise 
• Going for a long drive
• Being inside during a thunder storm, when the rain hits the window 
• An unexpected hug when you need one, but didn't want to ask 
• Forehead kisses 

So that's what makes all these fantastic bloggers happy ! Now it's your turn ! Let me know in the comments what are the little things in life that make you happy ? Or as I said yesterday, you can tweet it to me @MyHappyBubble using the hashtag #WhatMakesYOUHappy :) I hope you have a lovely day and if you have a moment then you can go check out the bloggers who contributed to this post ( and yesterdays post ) with their amazing writing !

Stay Strong <3 Stay Smiley :)

Lots of love, Marianne xxx

What Makes YOU Happy ?

Hello !!!
Over the past month or so, I've been  thinking a lot about all the little things that come together to make us all so happy, but we don't give them enough attention to realise how happy they make us ! For example; today I noticed the sky was a really gorgeous shade of blue and it made me smile. If it  had been that same shade just a few weeks ago, I doubt I would've even noticed, let alone of remembered about it 6 hours later ! This applies to a lot of things, that man who held the door for you this morning or the cute dog you saw in the park that came up to you for a cuddle . We miss out on so much happiness by undermining the shear beauty, love and kindness of things we disregard each day. We assume that the days that may well be remembered as tragic, awful days were only that. But I can guarantee that in every single day, something (tiny as it may be ) happened ! The worse the day, the harder you need to look because the more you need it :)

"Everyday may not be good, but there's something good in everyday" 


We can easily make ourselves happier by being a little more mindful of the things around us ! So I contacted a few wonderfully talented bloggers ( Who actually often brighten my day with their posts ) and asked them to write a paragraph or list, however they feel most comfortable, about the things in their lives that make them happy ! I'm going to post this in two halves so that it's not too long and the second half will be up on Friday morning :) So lets get going !

Vickey Wright from Never Grow Up
"What makes me happy? I love the sound a storm, pattering on a glass room. Or better still, the cold chill of raindrops, washing off my mascara. On the contrary, I love the blinding beam of sunlight that floods the room on a mid-summer morning. The first sip of a cup of tea after a long day’s work, and the first bite of that cake you’ve been craving since 11am. When that dress is a perfect fit, or when your eyeliner wings evenly first time. I love listening to songs from years ago, and still knowing all the words. The smell of popcorn that floods Frontier Land, and pinky promises that you know won’t be broken. Finally, the opening credits of a Disney film, filled with the excitement that the next hour and a half are to be filled with magic, music and laughter. That’s what makes me happy."

Be Nice It's Tuesday from https://beniceitstuesday.wordpress.com/
I generally like to think of myself as a happy person, I certainly try to have an optimistic outlook on life, and I believe that we’re all, to some extent, in control of making ourselves happy. A year or so ago I was not so happy with my life, and there were good reasons for this, but I decided it was time to be happy again, so I did the 100HappyDays challenge. I now have a little yellow book of all my photos, so this is a summary of what’s in the photos, the things that make me happy. Trees, flowers, my cat, elastic bands, music, musicals, pretty rain, friends, my sisters coming home, food, bubble wrap, sitting in my onesie, walks, nice messages, cafes, finishing work, swimming, reading, sewing, choir, sunshine, Harry Potter memes, doing concerts, cake, people being nice, my ‘cello, my home, visiting new places, squirrels, Ramin Karimloo, celebrations, doing art work, playing cards, Maltesers and wine, positive quotes, singing, listening to music, my favourite German film, ice cream, Disney films, laughter, wind chimes, adventures, playing violent rounders, seeing family, baking, Scotland, the beach, sunset, canoeing, ceilidh dancing, fit boys, Cluedo, exciting boat happenings, jumping in waves, making a treasure hunt, my bedroom, writing letters, getting a postcard, booking a holiday, rope swings, jewellery, and finally, photographs that remind me of happy times.


Crystal from Crystallized Daisies
Happiness is a choice. Don't live life everyday letting yourself live in guilt and sorrow, you have the choice to turn that around. You are in control of your own life so make a choice to be happy for yourself. You deserve to be happy just as much as the next person. Try to do more and surround yourself with things that make you smile <3
Here are a few things that always make me smile :)
1) Family bonding
2) Romance movies/novels
3) Looking back on moments in which I was truly happy
4) My dog
5) Singing along to music
