- Collecting my favorite pages out of magazines and putting them in plastic sheets and storing them in binders with all sorts of different categories. It’s like I’m making a set of best-of magazines!
- Goodreads…I love that there is a community that exists to share and love books of all kinds. I love reading other people’s reviews and getting recommendations from their ratings and lists. Plus, it allows me to see which books I’ve read, which my less-than-stellar memory would not do fully.
- Our new fireplace, which is finally working right and helps keep me warm on these cold, cold days.
- The shorts I bought online fit perfectly! Now if my bathing suit fits right, I’ll be super lucky. I have a feeling that it’s not going to though, so I might just have to buy one in Florida…
- Watching Coronation Street with my mother and getting WAYY too involved. We are too wrapped up in that soap opera!
- Leggings. They are like pants but wayyyy more comfortable. Gotta love them.
- When my skin is clear (which is not now, by the way…I look like a teenager…).
- Writing out my packing list almost a month in advance because I’m that particular about details.
- Reading great books…I’ve been on a roll lately!
Movie nights with the family are pretty great…mind you, this selection of films doesn’t do it for me!
Cute cat pictures obviously make me very happy…
I would like to be eating this right now please!

What are the little decadent things that are making your life a little more tolerable (or even enjoyable!) this week? I’d love to hear them! Spread a little joy to yourself today!

Yum, chocolate and raspberries. Unfortunately I can’t eat the cake but fortunately raspberries are in season here and I even have some growing in the garden!
Happy Australia Day! It means everyone (well, everyone who goes to work) gets a long weekend so I have three days to hang out with my friends.
My robot vacuum cleaner. I love him scooting around while I can put my feet up and rest before my friends visit.
Yoga apps so I can create my own practice adapted for how I’m feeling: a relaxing one; a revitalizing one; a restorative one and one for bad days where all the poses involve lying down on the mat.
Gorgeous Australian made soaps that are palm oil free (for the orangutans) and full of delicious smelling ingredients that leave my skin feeling beautiful. When you order online they include little samples of other products, this time they sent me shampoo soap, lavender bath cream and a tiny bottle of massage oil, beautifully packaged up and pinned with a smiley face badge
My favourite indulgence!
Enjoy making your packing list!
My packing tips include loading lots of relaxing music on your iPhone/iPod, remembering headphones, earplugs, hand cream (for skin dryness and also to give yourself a hand massage before you go to sleep), plus a beautiful dress in the hope you are well enough to go out one evening
Sandy!
I love what you have on your packing list! I need to remember to add these things onto mine. I love the idea of a beautiful dress in case I get to go out one evening
.
Your list makes me want to come to Australia!
