Days 11 - 20 of Happy

I'm a little bit late on the recap of days 11- 20 of being happy but it's only because I haven't had a chance to.

Have you started the challenge? If so how far are you? It really is about the simple things in life. (You can check out my first recap here.

Day 11 - Cape Town was hit with one huge heatwave and with my body aching my mom spoilt me with a Thai Massage. In Johannesburg there are tons of Thai Massage Spas around but here I have battled. Anyway, the masseuse does not speak much English and Na Bua have provided a helpful list of necessary communication.

Day 12 - As I mentioned the heatwave, we took a drive out to a town on the West Coast and the Ice-Cream was definitely a happy moment for me!!!

Day 13 -  Reading makes me very happy! I absolutely love reading, always have, always will and I absolutely agree with this quote, a good book should leave you exhausted!

Day 14 - After spending some time with one of my besties who was visiting Cape Town and I realized that there are various reasons why I made this list up but I thought really hard about it and I think I have all of them listed... do you think I missed any type of friend a girl should have?

Day 15 - The view at dinner at the V & A Waterfront, the food was delicious and the view equally so.

Day 16 - Cousins - one of my cousins helped me out with a recipe I wanted to try and it was so effortless for her to go out of her way for me. 

Day 17 - My frozen Chai Tea was AMAZING!

Day 18 - On my way to pick someone up ad the simple view of Cape Town just made me smile... 

Day 19 - My biggest pet peeve is dirty hair so my happy moment was just after I washed my hair. I feel like I should clarify, my hair is NEVER dirty but the only thing worse than dirty hair is hair which looks dirty. 

Day 20 - cooking new dishes! This is some fresh yellowtail fish and it was incredibly delicious!

SO that's been my last few days - how's yours been?Remember you can follow the next 80 with #100HappyDaysCTP on Instagram and Twitter..

Days 1 - 10 of Happy

If you remember, I told you about the 100HappyDays challenge I was starting, so here's a recap of my last 10 moments of happiness over the last 10 days.

Day 1 - my happy moment was from being able to chat to friends, around the world! What did we do before social media?

Day 2 - I always feel more in control of my life when I have my nails painted. PLUS I am loving this new colour.

Day 3 - SUCCESS! I baked three birthday cakes, Chocolate Ganache, Vanilla with Butter Icing and Red Velvet. I had a very stressful day pulling it all together but it worked :) And they all tasted AMAZING!

Day 4- Liverpool FC beat Arsenal! Beat, as in whipped, as in ridiculed Arsenal. 

Day 5 - my kindred spirit, my little cousin, Megan who just happened to be celebrating her crown birthday. 

Day 6 - Summer. It was hot outside and I went swimming with one of my besties... awesome!

Day 7 - After watching 12 Years A Slave, I was reminded how blessed I am to be free. Now I have to do something with it. 

Day 8 - Music makes me happy. I've told you that about 1000 times before, so this one wouldn't surprise you. What may surprise you is that my top three most played songs are all One Direction. 

Day 9 - Belongs to my cousin / sister / best bestie 

Day 10 - Although I didn't really celebrate Valentine's Day, I went for dinner and drinks... more specifically cocktails with one of my besties. This drink looks better than it tasted! But the next four made up for it. 

Did you join the challenge? How far are you? Tell me all about it!

#100HappyDaysCTP

I'm not sure how much you've noticed the whole #100HappyDays posts on Facebook/Twitter/Instagram etc. A friend of mine mentioned it to me and then I looked into it and basically you sign up, choose your own start date and then try to commit to finding one thing every day for 100 days in a row which made you happy.

GO over to their website and register. I think it's a challenge but I also think that I need to be reminded everyday, I am blessed and deserve to be happy. I imagine this will be a challenge at times but then again I think it is probably those days that I will need to be reminded to appreciate the smaller things - also I think it's going to be crazy counting out the next 100 days but I'm looking forward to it!

If you sign up, let me know so I can follow your happy moments! If you want to follow mine, on Twitter and Instagram, you can use the hashtag 100HappyDaysCTP . I started yesterday let's see how far I can go with it!

Have an awesome day!
