What Makes Me Happy!!

Ok! Can I start with this tune?
Song: "Happy" Pharrell
Hi! Everyone
 I have been busy these past few months! It's almost the end of the year. Yay! New good things are coming!
In this new post I thought I could be sharing with you what I like that makes me happy. I believe that we are ourselves responsible to create this feeling of happiness. In fact we should avoid to think negatively and always think positive even when things tend to be bad or difficult. I realize that every time I think positive good things happen to me but when I start thinking negatively bad things happen. Which means that what you project or think is what is going to happen to you.
Also these past few months I learned that I should stay away from toxic relations such as hypocrites, false people, people who like to gossip (gossip is poison), people who are undecided in their lives, people who have no vision.

Nice pic from a Paris facebook page. I Love it!!! Yay!!!!
    Then stay away from people who cannot value you and  who cannot see the good qualities that you have. Trust me it will be a waste of time trying to please such people. They will really drain you. Just be who you are do NOT be rude with people but stay who you are. As Mother Teresa said "Life is a journey Enjoy it". It is important to grow wise and wiser than before. It is also important to learn from our mistakes and to give place to positivity in us. I have learned to like myself and that really makes me happy. To be happy is a decision. Do not wait for love coming from the outside but from your inside.
At the end you will see that once you love yourself you will end up loving people and people will likely accept and respect you. There will always be mean people but I decided to ignore the negative people. It is good to know who you are as a Person. Feel good feel beautiful because you are the best piece of Art that has ever been created. Be "You" that person  not influenced by people's comments, gossip, judgments, magazines, etc.
It is good to read some quotes from people who share their own experiences, thoughts  and vision of life .Because they have succeed you can learn from them..
For instance this is a quote from Oprah Winfrey that I like just to feel inspired:
  Just think about it I am sure you will agree with her

Also I want to share this one from Anne Klein that I have recently found online. I like it because it teaches me that clothes don't wear me but I wear them . Which means that beauty must come from me and shine but not the clothes because even though I can wear high brand clothes and that I do not love myself, nothing is going to make a difference. Therefore everything must come from me (inside) from the way I see and accept myself.
This is definitely true even Coco Chanel said the same thing
ok! Now back to the main subject of this post "What makes me happy". Humm..Let's say, because it's true, I want to go on a trip to Disneyland!! I like this fairy world  I am a good dreamer that's why I like every work that Disney has made. I want to have a trip to the islands like the Bahamas, Jamaica...I know it will happen but for now I think there are little things that can make me happy too. Little things that I do not necessarily need to spend huge amount of money. Let's start by saying that It is good to be thankful for the fact that I am alive and enjoying life. Good health  yes because I can still do some things by myself  I am grateful and so many other things. Life itself is a gift that makes me happy and I am thankful that I can still see the blue sky as in Louis Armstrong's lyrics for his song "What a wonderful world!".
Then what I want to share with you are all of these other things in my post. Some pictures are mine others are not. I found them on the web and I thought they could fit with what I share here.

Let's start with smoothies@!! I like smoothies!! Yay!!! Smoothies are so refreshing! Especially during Summer!

I like the Starbuck's ones. Sometimes I make mine at home  but when I really want to

I like pictures and the pictures that I especially like to see are those of Fashion and perfumes advertisements because simply I like perfumes so much! It is so fresh! Whenever I smell perfumes It makes me feel good! I can go to the mall and spend hours in a boutique just to try new perfumes.

Oulala! Chanel 5 (Chanel's lucky number) pour les chic ladies!

Pamper myself! Yes! That definitely makes me happy! Sometimes I can be lazy because so many activities in the week but when You have time, just do it! We need moment like that and it's so important. It feels so good to pamper oneself!


yes yes! 
 

What about humor? Yeah! Funny pictures that makes me laugh are good to me! You can use this one for your friends or family. If you need to say something special to them with humor use pictures. Laughing after a morning prayer is a good recipe to start a good day for sure.

Do you know my little bird?  My little bird makes me happy every time I am back home. Lil' One likes to listen to my playlist on youtube.

 There we go! lol!!!

I like Ice Cream yay!! Yes! Ice cream! Ice cream people but I must say that I consume it moderately because too much consumption of sugar is not good for health. Right!?
  I like to cook on my free time. Woo Hoo! I can cook any meals that I like. However in this picture I show you my favorite buns but I also don't make them every time You don't need to eat them every time. Once in a while I can make  them.
They look good already!

Even I reduced my consumption of fried plantains even tough they are so good! Still they are in the list of my favorites really! It is easy and fast to make and It is so good and exotic! You can eat it with anything!

 How can I forget my cold Frappucino!! I like it so much!!!
Thank you QT! Whenever I go there I need to buy me some.

I can share the recipe of the buns if you want me to. You just need to drop the comment below.
Ok! Guys it's good to volunteer. Volunteering gives me a feeling of fulfillment  because bringing your contribution is something good to the society. You don't have to do too much but giving your time for a good cause or to help is really important. I stop volunteering these past few months because I am so busy with my activities but whenever I will have my vacations I will definitely doing that again. Yes! volunteering makes me happy!

  If you are like me you are probably an adventurous person sometimes. Going on a trip makes me really happy! I like to travel I want to travel more often and it will happen. However we don't always need to go on a trip out of the country there are nice cities not far from your area I am sure.  So discover those cities go for a weekend with friends or alone but be safe when you are on your own. Yes, you can go on a trip for a little change to relieve the pressure, the stress etc.

Washington DC, sweet memories!
Paris France

Go shopping makes me happy! woo hoo! Women like shopping so yes! Have fun but don't spend too much Ladies! Spend what you can really afford to not feel or be financially too tight. So ladies spend smartly! Going to the mall is also good just to spend time looking around and see new and nice things. You don't always have to do shopping but you can just enjoy walking around, go to movie, eat something special that you have never tried before. You can go to smell some perfumes, candles, discover new natural products for the body and clothing trends  It's always good to know and maybe who knows? You might meet Someone special there (smile) That's for single ladies of course. You might also meet new nice people or opportunities. So yes going to the mall makes me happy!

At the mall


 I like to see new make up things or try something new even though I am not a professional (make up artist) but sometimes it feels good to be at the cosmetic line( Flaner dans les Rayon) Just looking at the different colors of lipsticks...There are always new things at the shop for sure.  Women are queens that's why we have all of these made for us only (Smile) I always learn from other ladies who know best so...yes I like it!

What about gym?! Yes! Sometimes I can be lazy but when I am excited to go to gym it makes me happy because I know that at that point I try to control my weight consequently my health is good.
I put music on my ears and I enjoy working out for few hours.


Flowers are nice beautiful they smell so good!! They really make me happy whenever I see them and hold them! There is something good about them . They are sensitive and fragile. Flowers are like women.
Nice roses freshly taken in the yard! See how beautiful they are.

Why don't you go to a concert? It's good sometimes. 


Looking at nice and relaxing pictures like these ones. I really like it! Whenever I found such pictures I keep some of them in my pictures folder. Photographers are really talented!

 This one is so refreshing! It makes you want to be happy and enjoy life. It's like a fresh breeze in a morning. 

I like reading magazines while nibbling at some cakes or cookies with a nice warm cup of green tea! I like to drink tea just to help to flush the excess of sugar sometimes and to clean my system but still water remains the best allies.

reading Lupita Nyong'o in Glamour Magazine
Going to museums I really enjoy going to museums. Visiting monuments or going to places like for instance the Kennedy Center in Washington DC makes me happy!

I don't recall the name of the artist who did that Art work but I fell literally in love with his talent it was actually exhibited at The Hilton Hotel in Dallas. The paint looks so real!

 I like animals I like pets! I like their loving company and it makes me happy!

I like to listen to music at night or in the afternoon the weekend. It makes me happy  I like to get busy with music on. It really makes me feel relaxed and inspired especially when I listen to my favorite artists.


 Listening to The Temptations"My Girl" When I work I need music on

I like to look at fashion pictures! Just to see the creativity and talent of Fashion designers: New style, new trend, new shoes, new purses...It is so fine and that makes me happy!

 Just walking outside of your home, apartment. I like to take a stroll anywhere as long as it is safe It can be at the park or somewhere safe and nice. observing the beautiful landscape. It's really good!
Thanks God for this wonderful things that You have created for us!

Now let's listen to Louis Armstrong "What A Wonderful World"

I like Betty Boop! I like to see her. I think she is a sassy pin up lady because she is glamorous and she is so cute! I like Betty Boop's pictures, items and fashion clothing. Yes! Seeing Betty Boop makes me happy! Since my younger age she was one of my favorite cartoon. Do you like Betty Boop too? I am sure you do!




I Love Christmas!!
 As the song says:"It is the most wonderful time of the year!!" Christmas always makes me happy!!     Family spends good time together. We go to church for the Nativity we always need to remember the real story behind Xmas. It is not a commercial event I dislike when people doing it for commercial purpose because they kill the essence of Xmas. Christ was born and was given to the world so that people who believe in Him will be saved. It is very sad to see that people has made Xmas a Santa's story first when it is all about Jesus Christ well C'est la vie...During Xmas family members, friends exchange presents. Family members are blessed to be together and share good meals. Xmas is all about love! People have fun sharing to their children how baby Jesus was born in a manger . The Christmas songs and decoration at home are everything!!  People Xmas is so good! I also like my birthday  too!

Xmas at Washington Dc! There was this Xmas tree at the White House

We made it ourselves! we were so happy that day

Nativity
 yes!! This is the end of this post! I hope you like it! Yes as you can see God makes me happy! He is everything to me! Now that I am done I will simply say to conclude that whenever I keep my mind in a positive mode everything sounds to be perfect and nice. Being happy is the best remedies for our soul as the bible says sadness "will dry out your bones." My strength and the way I started to learn all of these about keeping a positive attitude a positive mind. I learn it from the Bible a really rich book, from Christian preachers and speakers Also from people on Facebook who have developed a positive attitude. It is not only good for your soul but it is also good for your spirit. Trust me once you start to sit and really study this book the Bible your mind will completely change for the best you will have hope and success and salvation. You will start to know more about yourself.
Yay!! Be Happy and Live happy!

"You Gotta Be" was popular in the 90's Enjoy!
