As this week comes to a close I have one big, full heart. I’ve officially survived my first week of self employment! This week has been so exciting and definitely a whirlwind as we adjust to running a full time business but I feel so, so, so lucky to truly love what I do. As I write this I’m feeling so happy that I decided to start this little series on a whim because it reminds me to reflect on the week and think about the things that have truly made me happy over the past 7 days. Now don’t get me wrong, there are a number of things that have bothered me, pissed me off and maybe even made me cry this week but if at the end of the week I focus on the good, the positive, the amazing, the happy things that happened I firmly believe the universe will keep giving them to me. Karma’s a you know what, after all. Am I right?!
Today’s Heart Happy-s are a few of my very, very favorites. The things I’m pretty obsessed with this week.
Favorite song: When I Get My Hands on You – I haven’t loved a song as much as I love this song in a long time. Seriously. (And if you haven’t heard about the New Basement Tapes you really should get your head out from under a rock. Newly uncovered Bob Dylan lyrics from 1967 performed by Marcus Mumford, Elvis Costello, Jim James, Rhiannon Giddens, and Taylor Goldsmith – seriously the shiz.)
Favorite Score: I reallllly hate to do this because they’re currently out of stock but I’m SO happy I snagged these sequin joggers. I’ve been lusting after the Free People version so the moment I spotted these I had to snatch them up! Those good Forever 21 pieces don’t last long and sadly they’re already sold out. Womp, womp. They might come back in stock though so I would bookmark that page just in case!
Favorite Find: Since I’ve been on the hunt for fun prints I couldn’t be more happy to find Jasmine Dowling and her gorgeous prints! These are my favorites but I think her “There’s not a Hint of Mediocrity in You” print definitely needs a space on my bedroom gallery wall!
Favorite Adventure: For a while now I had really been wanting to get another piercing in my ear but since I couldn’t wear jewelry to work I felt like it would have been more hassle than it was worth. (Like seriously who has to ask HR if they can get their ears pierced?!) So to celebrate closing my corporate America door I got another hole pierced in my ear after my last day of work! I love it so much and already am thinking I may want more!
Favorites on P&T: This week has been a good one on Pearls & Twirls if I do say so myself! I’m pretty excited to have kicked off two new series that I’m so thrilled about! My Gifts That Give Back series & the Holiday Happenings series I’m teaming up with a few of my favorite bloggers with!
