Little Things

I’m the type of person whose mood is easily impacted by little things. A kind compliment on an outfit I spent time planning the night before or someone surprising me by buying my morning tea and you’ve instantly got a grinning girl. So, I thought I’d take a minute and share a couple of the little things (since that is the name of my little ole bloggy after all) that are pleasing me to pieces right now.

Saw these beauties while grocery shopping and I couldn’t resist.

I just love this lil guy cheerfully watching me work away at my desk.

Just a few of the Softlips chapsticks that I hoard.
This stuff is designed by angels, I promise you.

I have officially deemed Essie's Play Date the perfect
spring/summer nail color. Get used to seeing this friends.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Christmas is just around the corner and my days have been full of holiday parties, shopping, gift-wrapping, cooking, and all around fun times with my family and friends. This is my favorite time of the year for so many reasons so I thought I’d share a few of my holiday favorites so far this year:

The sparkly wreath on my parents' front door is easily my favorite Christmas decoration.

Mini cheesecakes (thanks to Grandma Sheridan for the recipe),
these are perfect for parties and are super easy to make!


Hot Chocolate and Bailey’s treats as a special holiday surprise for my lovely roommates.
(Got the idea from one of my morning ritual blogs: Hey Gorgeous)

My new go-to gift this year! Great little lenses from Photojojo to attach

to your smart phone, they’re a huge hit for all my camera-loving friends.
