Blogging Aha! Blogging has added a little more fun and excitement to my life. Love interacting with so many wonderful bloggers around the world. Blogging has given me purpose to do something I am really enjoying. Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, chats, comments and the best one is getting tagged to do something more exciting and challenging. So here I am with another interesting tag post that I have never done before.
I was tagged by Marie, one of my absolute favorite bloggers. Her blog backstorybeauty.com is really inspirational where she shares her thoughts on the most luxurious beauty products. First of all, I want to thank Marie for this tag. I was wanting to do it, since I read Bexa’s post a few months back. A big-big thank you to Marie for always making me smile with her lovely comments. This made me actually sit and reflect on the small things in life that make a big difference to our mind and body. So, Marie here are the 50 Things That Make Me Happy or 50 Things That Make My Life Extraordinary. 🙂

There’s a lot of beauty in the world when you stop and think about the simple things. This was a wonderful read for me this morning. I’m glad I came across it. Last night, after 13+ years with our family, our Doberman passed away. We knew it was coming but you are never really ready. This reminded me today to stop and appreciate the beauty and happiness to be found in life’s simplest things (like a great hair dry blow out and the smell of fresh brownies baking in the oven). Thank you. Wonderful post.

Oh Janine I really feel sorry for your loss. It’s sad that we have to face this reality someday. I feel it is important to appreciate the small things, we usually ignore that give us so much happiness and make life worth living. Thank you so much. 🙂
Love this post, such a positive read. I agree the blogging world is such a lovely place and its so nice to hear such positive experiences from bloggers.
Great post.

Thank You Pinar. I sometimes think why did I not start blogging sooner! 🙂 Thanks again lovely.
Ah Ms. Via you’ve made my heart smile today after reading this. Thank you so much for taking part and sharing these details. I especially love the one about imagining the baby face of a random person, I’ve never thought about that. And of course, perfect skin and good hair days are the ultimate dream, aren’t they? This was such a pleasure, I’ll be returning to it whenever I need to smile:)) XOXO
Awww Marie that’s so sweet of you. Thank you for the tag. I loved doing it. Perfect skin and good hair is like dream haha! Thanks again XOXO 🙂
I like a lot of these on your list, especially love artwork. These images are really great! <3

Thank you Neslihan. Netflix is really addictive. 🙂
Aw, this is such a sweet post! And I’m very glad lipsticks were in the list of things that make you happy 🙂 I love looking at old photographs too, I always try and print them off as well as have them stored electronically. Sometimes there’s nothing nicer than sitting down with a cuppa and a photo album! xx

Oh yes I have so many old albums at home in Mumbai. We have scanned them all. Yes it is the best thing. So many memories come up by just looking at the photos. Thanks my dear friend. 🙂
I love this post.
It’s lovely to read what makes people smile, some of it can be so different to what makes me smile and then other times some are exactly the same. I particularly enjoyed reading about you grinning when you reply to blog comments, that was cute.
