Simple Pleasures

This week was a rough one friends. I was feeling pretty shitty about the world in general, so my sister and I came up with a list of 50 simple pleasures. I decided to share them with you in hopes that you will either smile or laugh at me or be reminded of something that you love.

1. When you pour cream into black coffee.
2. The look of makeup when it’s brand new.
3. When you get on public transit after a really long day and somebody gives you their seat.
4. Opening a pizza box and taking the first slice.
5. When the UberEats driver arrives.
6. The first time you use a jar of fresh peanut butter (but not the natural stuff, like Kraft peanut butter).
7. When your order arrives after you went online shopping.
8. The sound a wine bottle makes when you take the cork out.
9. Jumping in the lake when you’re really sweaty after working out.
10. Turning off airplane mode when your flight lands, and seeing you have texts from all your friends.
11. When you get home and someone else has cleaned the kitchen.
12. The smell of my cottage in the morning.
13. When your email inbox is all cleaned out.
14. The smell of good red wine (well…good wine is relative, wine that is not gasoline).
15. Thunderstorms, the kind out of horror movies.
16. Freshly shaved legs + clean sweatpants
17. When you open a jar and it pops.
18. When your parents go grocery shopping and bring you home treats (@ grocery store chicken wings).
19. Dispensing the can of whipped cream straight into your mouth.
20. When you get the fitted sheet on your bed in the first try.
21. After laundry day, when your tier 1 underwear are clean (don’t lie to me, y’all have tier 1 and tier 2 underwear).
22. When you call customer service and you don’t get put on hold.
23. Getting home after a long day to an empty house and having, an hour-ish alone.
24. Singing in the shower and hitting that big belt note (I’m looking at you, Defying Gravity).
25. Thinking about eating something in your fridge and then you get home and nobody has snaked it from you.
26. *This one is specifically from my friends doing Chloe Ting workouts during quarantine* The sound of the countdown beeps during a Chloe Ting workout.
27. The sound a can makes when it opens.
28. When you take a nap and wake up are unsure what day it is.
29. Shaving your legs and not missing a spot (even those hairs by your ankles).
30. Putting those heels on for a night out (because you know you look like a bad bitch).
31. Taking those heels off at the end of your night out after you’ve been a bad bitch.
32. Eating grated cheddar cheese.
33. Waking up to the smell of bacon.
34. Drinking tea out of my favourite mug.
35. New, fresh white, sneakers.
36. When you naturally dry your hair and it actually looks okay.
37. First tracks on a ski hill.
38. Wearing old clothes and finding money in your pocket.
39. Relocating a lost lip balm.
40. Dancing in the rain.
41. The feeling when you take your ski boots off.
42. Popping bubble wrap.
43. Unsubscribing from an email service that has been spamming you.
44. Eating cookie dough.
45. Taking your bra off at the end of the day.
46. Waking up and realising it is only 3am so you have a solid 5 hours left to sleep.
47. When your favourite artist comes out with new music.
48. That little buzz, before you’re drunk, but life is good.
49. When someone more attractive than you gives you a compliment. 
50. Finishing a blog post.

From me, with love, to you,
