After last week being generally shitty, I figured the universe owed me a good week.  So far, so good!  (I know it's only monday....don't remind me)

01.  my friend Rachael and I made pizza, brownies, watched Sherlock, The Breakfast Club, and went swimming at 11 pm.

02. I ate brownies and pizza

03. I designed and published a website for my photography business!

04. I impulse bought a pair of heels on Modcloth that I've had my eye on for a year now (is that still considered an impulse buy?)....never ignore a Modcloth sale!  You will ALWAYS find something amazing.

05. I finished my summer class today!  Six worksheets and a 9 page essay - DONE!

06. an insanely good dinner for a monday night

Now for some reading before bed, yoga in the morning, and then a trip to Lowes to get 65 white paint swatches.

01. taking photos outside and somehow avoiding the mosquito bites and poison ivy.

02. bathing suits from 1956 that would really come in handy with this heat

03. some advice from the card aisle at World Market

04. reading my sister's awesome article about urban beekeeping in Atlanta.

05. kitten snuggles

06. this beautiful mosaic in my favorite color

07. my new favorite mascara

08. shopping for beautiful vintage pieces that I can't afford and aren't my size (a girl can dream, can't she?)

{all from Adored Vintage}

Not included are the countless cold showers that come with summertime, hours of studying and essay-writing, and the record breaking outfit repeating that's been happening lately. 

Happy Monday!

Life can be unfair sometimes.  Just when you think everything is going alright, the universe throws something at you.  But that's just the way life goes.  Ups and downs, happiness and sadness, love and hate, healthy and unhealthy.

That's why the little things are so important.  While the big things may be crashing down or not building up as fast as you would like, it's those little things that keep you going.  A hug, a warm blanket, a cup of tea, going for a walk, taking a hot shower, saying hello to friends.  It's those things that make the struggles worth while.
So here are the little things that are keeping me going.

01. bright sweaters with matching headscarves

02. lovely strawberries on my cereal

03. playing dress up

04. seeing The Grand Budapest Hotel

05. meeting people I love for frozen yogurt and good conversation

06. snuggles with Ida
