an interesting thought

happiness isn't a destination.

it is a mood.

it comes [and] goes [and] it's ok.

do you agree or disagree??

we’ve made it a year.

this is an ode to my lip gloss.
 : : not : :
a boy.
how many of you girls can say that you have owned the same chap stick for a year?
i don’t know about you, but i am always losing mine.
i buy one & then [no doubt] two months later it is gone.
 : : every time : :
but not his year, i managed to have the same lip gloss for 12 months.
12 months i made this baby last because i {love} it.
i squeezed it till there was no more.












it traveled with me all over Europe & when i lost my wallet, i still had my lip gloss.

maker: bath & body works
flavor: warm spiced cider
shine: shimmering, but not overpowering
taste: delicious
downfall: it only comes out once a year at Christmas

that is a big downfall.
i have been waiting all year to buy another tube in fear that i would lose my {one and only}
the day after Halloween, i knew they’d be putting out their Christmas scents.
there i was.
and sure enough i found it. it got a makeover with a complete new look.















different bottle but same inside.
 it's the {little things} in life that make me happy.

here are some customer reviews i found on the internet:
* * * "i have heard so many good things about these lip glosses. how they are so tasty, how they smell so good, and how they come in so many yummy flavors. after hearing so much stuff about these lip glosses, i bought one. i am happy with the purchase!"
* * * "bath & body works lip gloss is a favorite among our resident lip gloss junkies. this gloss comes in a variety of shades and is full bodied, not super sheer. it is something every girl should have."

. . . . believe it
it is the truth.

she.

she.
 
i read a book yesterday.
i love when things get put into perspective for me.
 
i aspire to be [she]
.She loved life and it loved her back
.She listened to her heart above all the other voices
.She pursued big dreams instead of small realities
.She saw every ending as a new beginning
.She discovered her real measurements had nothing to do with numbers or statistics
.She was kind, loving, and patient... with herself
.She realized that she was missing a great deal by being sensible
.She turned her can't and cans, into her dreams and plans
.She ignored people that said it couldn't be done
.She had a way of turning obstacles into opportunities
.She went out on a limb, had it break off behind her, and discovered she could fly
.She discovered that she was the one she'd been waiting for
.She added so much beauty to being human
.She walked in when everyone else walked out
.She just had this way of brightening the day
.She made the whole world feel like home
.She decided to endure more and endure less
.She decided to start living the dream she'd imagined
.She colored her thoughts with only the brightest hues
.She was an artist and her life was her canvas
.She ran ahead where there were no paths
.She not only saw the light at the end of the tunnel, but she became that light for others
.She designed a life she loved
.She said bye-bye to unhealthy relationships
.She crossed boarders recklessly, refusing to recognize limits, saying bonjour and buon giorno as though she owned both France and Italy and the day itself 
.She remained true to herself
.She made the whole world a better place
