Distinguishing Happiness from Comfort + Finding Your Happy Mix

PHOTOGRAPHY BY: AMANDA ELLE I’m always in a constant pursuit to maximize every aspect of my life, so today’s topic is something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. And the more I think about it, the more the grey area grows. Distinguishing happiness from comfort is something you can relate to all aspects of your life. Contrary to my google search which mostly resulted in information based on relationships. Whether it’s your wardrobe, relationship, job or a mix, are you happy or simply comfortable? And how do you distinguish the two? I’m a bit vocal when I don’t like something (it’s…

Motivation Monday!

If I had a mantra this would be it, and if you follow me on twitter you would know that. I ALWAYS try to do what makes my soul happy. Whether I’m at work or deciding to do with my spare time, it revolves around being happy. It’s so important to know what you like and how to keep yourself in a good mood. If you’re constantly running through your days, going with the motions and just going to work or school and hanging out with your friends, how do you know what you like? So, this week, here’s the…

Motivation Monday!

I’m also laughing as I write this. Sometimes I just can’t even…

Monday doesn’t suck, you’ve just convinced yourself it does. Every day you go to work you further your career and make money (that you need for that Celinè bag you’ve been eyeing, oh wait…

Motivation Monday!

This weekend I was lucky enough to be off both Saturday and Sunday, which only happens once a month. I love having two jobs + my blog (which is not a job because my heart is always here, I truly love this). My point of this being, I love running into pleasant, happy and kind strangers. With two days off, I did a lot of blog prep and running around. Sunday I went shopping with my mom and we met a woman in the dressing room. She was asking our opinion on clothes and was just so nice. Living in…
