Things I Love Today [4/28/11]

This is late because they're supposed to be on Thursdays, but I want to start doing these. I have been so amazingly inspired by Gala Darling's website this past year, and I really want to start incorporating her ideas of Radical Self-Love into my life in active ways. (What better time to do this than when I've been feeling down?)


GalaDarling.com! If you've never seen her blog, check it out. It's full of fashion, love, lifestyle tips, and just general positive energy. I've never been so inspired by anything on the web!

LUSH Products. I know, everyone knows about these by now, but since my family bought me a big box of pretty things at the store in Osaka I have been hooked—I can't take a bath without them! I'm going back (tomorrow in fact!) to get more. I don't know how I ever lived without this stuff. TL was the one who originally hooked me. (It's all your fault, TL!!! XD ♥)

♥ (On a related note…) Future Massages! My sister told me last week that she was looking up "How to Give a Massage" on the Googlynets. The big box of Lush things had a massage bar and she's like, "Well, I have to help you use it!" I have the best friend/sister EVER! She's coming to see me again in July, and we're going to do tons of fun, not-touristy things.

♥ Aaaaand it's Golden Week! Which means I only have to work two days this week—today and Friday. I was going out of my mind with boredom on Sunday, but I've lined some things up now, and overall, it's a much-needed break for me!

~Little Things That Made Me Smile~

Peppermint tea ♥ Glitter stickers ♥ Golden Girls ♥ YouTube videos of the Takarazuka Revue ♥ Rhinestones for my cell phone ♥ New cell phone charms ♥ My Chip n' Dale and Clarice notebook ♥ Wisterias starting to bloom ♥ Colorful markers from the dollar store ♥ Doing dishes and realizing I don't mind it so much ♥ The royal wedding with Japanese commentary ♥ Ice cream snacks with straberry ice cream and chocolate coating ♥ Writing on posterboard ♥ Jessie J ♥ This description ♥ Large bows ♥ Trying on outfits ♥ Sleeping for nine hours ♥ Taking out the trash on a cloudy day and having a quiet moment—sitting on the wall, watching the ocean waves, singing to myself, watching a crab crawl into the bushes.

I love this idea and Lush stuff is awesome.

Massages are also wonderful, you've reminded me that I've been wanting to have one and I will.

Oh and breaks are great but it can be strange to go from so much to do to not almost nothing. I'm in that space now and its weird but a nice weird.

If you and the sister would like some pro tips on massage, just let me know. I... am a massage therapist specializing in massage for deep relaxation, after all.
