Jan. Photoaday - Week One

So I've been obsessed with Instagram since I got my iphone. It's so fun. I've been doing this "Photoaday" thing, but I missed the first couple days of the month and started on the 8th. I thought it would be fun to post them on my blog as well.

Day 8 - Sunday Jan 8 - My Sky

(yes I posted this last night, but this is the one I used and the days just happened to match up perfectly)

Day 9 - Monday Jan 9 - Daily Routine

I only have this picture because of the collage app that I used, but I posted my workout shoes, SVU (love that show), traffic/commute, and the desk at work.

Day 10 - Tuesday Jan 10 - Childhood

These are some of my dancing pictures from when I was around three. I dancing for 18 years. I miss it so much!

Day 11 - Wednesday Jan 11 - Where you sleep

My comfy blanket in front of my tv :)

Day 12 - Thursday Jan 12 - Close-up

Just me being goofy on NYE

Day 13 - Friday Jan 13 - In Your Bag

Glamour, School Stuff, sunglasses, wallet, keys, camera, redbox, gum, hair stuff, lotion, crystal light, chapstick, an orange, some dollars...

Day 14 - Saturday Jan 14 - Something You're Reading

I don't have a picture of this either, but it was of "The Tiger's Wife", my magazines (Lucky, Elle, Style Watch, Glamour), and my textbooks.

Day 15 - Sunday Jan 15 - Happiness

Friends, Vacations, Kale, Carnivals, Parties, Boating,

Shopping Happiness

Went shopping most of the day with my fam...I love being home!

Some studies say this is as good as anti-depressants, due to the endorsements it releases.

-Eat Breakfast

Prevents grumpiness and helps you preform.

-Do Less

Sometimes it's just nice to take time to be.

-Focus on Making Memories

57% of people found that they were happier when they spent money on an experience like a vacation, rather than buying stuff.

-Go Outside

Pretty self explanatory.

-Hug It Out

Physical affection is critical in your life. Power of touch.

-Face Your Challenges

Actually do things on your to-do list. The more you put things off, the more anxious you'll feel about them.

- Say Something Nice

Making someone else happy usually transfer back to you.

- Be Grateful

Writing down the things you're grateful for helps you focus on the good things in your life.

Delivery

Yesterday I got a little delivery at work...:)

I had to work on a Saturday and I've been really stressed about school and work and stuff lately...I'll probably post about that later to explain, so Jake sent me flowers because he felt bad...so nice of him.
