Hey Loves,
I know, I’m late again. Just slap me on the wrist already! LOL. It was funny because I was typing this up last night and ended up falling asleep at the computer midway! I had another 12 hour shift with no break again and it drained me. I figure I give it another try tonight and finish writing what seven things that made me smile this past week. Why don’t we get started?
#1: I got to visit the beach before work to have a moment to myself. I love being able to smell the salty air while the cool breeze hits my skin. It’s such a glorious feeling after you’ve been away from it too long. I haven’t gotten to swim in the ocean in a long time, but I hope to have a chance soon.
#2: I saw a full length rainbow while driving my boss back home. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a full length rainbow although it has been raining for quite sometime. My boss lives on the complete opposite side of the island from me and I was an hour late for my second job, but it was worth it. I volunteered for it and I believe things always happen for a reason.
#3: My sister said I reminded her of a wet koala… She told me to look it up and I can’t believe that’s what they look like when they’re wet. I also can’t believe she said I remind her of one. LOL. I love my sister.
#4: I fed my addiction, I got my Colourpop order and bought some makeup from Sephora. I’ll be posting a haul sometime soon. You can check my Instagram @rawresilience_808 for swatches.
#5: I truly am blessed to live in paradise. I am making it a point to take in all the beauty that surrounds me each week from now on. It’s another way I can count my blessings. I hope you’re enjoying those photos BTW.
#6: I stepped out of my comfort zone and wore a berry colored lippie. I know it might not be much to some of you, but for a girl that tends to wear neutrals it definitely is. I think I pulled it off pretty well, don’t you think so?
#7: I finally got to do my nails and came up with that cute Snowman design you see above. I once again stepped out of my comfort zone by wearing blue glitter polish. It’s not my preference, but I ain’t mad at it. I really love how it turned out and that was my “self care” for the week. It’s soo festive.
#8: I tried Indian Food for the first time! I also tried Lamb once more to see if I liked it or not definitively and I can say I do not. The food overall was not bad! I ended up getting this fried Eggplant dish that was covered in coconut curry. It was delicious. My rule when I go to eat at a new place is to try something vegetarian because I don’t trust new food places all the time. You can’t really get sick if you eat raw vegetables versus raw meat. Yes, I am strange, but I like to play it safe.
#9: I got to spend some QT time with friends. We went out to eat Indian food, had some dessert at Frost City, and spent the evening playing games. We had soo much fun that we forgot we were in a public place. It was like we were in our own worlds! We played Jenga, this game I forgot the name of that’s pictured above, and Taboo. It was hilarious when we started playing Taboo. Sorry to the folks that were there, but it was a much needed night.
#10: My Client’s Great Grandson always picks us flowers. Every Sunday when I am with my clients, her Great Grandson, who’s 5 years old, visits her. When he visits he likes to pick all the women in the house (including me when I’m there) these little yellow flowers on his way back from the beach. He’s the cutest ball of energy and I seem to be really good with him.
As you can tell, I had a pretty good week. Then again, these posts are always meant to share the better parts of my week. I really did enjoy this past week and am starting to see the World from a different perspective from doing this weekly. I think it helps me to remember that everything happens for a reason and that there is always good to surrounds us, no matter what. That’s why I chose the main picture… because you can always choose Joy… remember that. I hope you had moments that made you smile and hope you have a lovely week. Until next time.
XOXO,
Crystal
