Yay for the long summer evening 💖. Thanks for the lovely comment Shaun 😍☺️😘💕 xxxx

I can not wait for long summer evenings & now I’m hungry for garlic bread I love it and this post is so fun!
Thank you Zoe 💖. Yum! Garlic bread! 😍 I always seem to crave it too! xx
Garlic bread and getting my hair cut are pretty high up on the list of things that make me happy too! I did write a list of 100 things that make me happy on an old blog years ago, it took ages to type out!
Laura x
Wow, 100 things would be a fun challenge! Yay for garlic bread and haircuts! Thanks Laura 💕😘 xx
Yes yes yes to this list! I love that dr. Martens was at the top! I love them also. One day I hope to have all! This is a great post and it helps us to get to know you a bit better! Stripey jumpers and denim jackets, we have a lot in common❤️❤️❤️
Yay! I love Dr. Martens so much! So many cool designs out there 💖. I have some flowery ones at the moment which I loveeee. Great to find we have lots in common, thanks MJ! 😘 xx
What a great idea for a post, although I think I would struggle to come up with 50 things so well done! I love Peep Show and haven’t seen it for ages may indulge in some tonight if I can find it on demand! Fabulous post as always Bexa ❤️

Yay! I love Peep Show, it never fails to make me laugh 😄. I hope you enjoyed watching it last night 😍. Thanks for the lovely comment Melanie 😘 xx
Oh yes to Alan Partridge, Peep Show, beaches & cheesy 80s music (I’ve done a few blog posts myself on that…)!
Glad we have those in common Polly! 💖 Alan Partridge and Peep Show are so funny 😄 xx
Such a sweet post! When you look at it, it’s usually small things that makes people happy instead of big ones. Long summer evening are the best! Biking also makes me super happy! xx corinne
It’s definitely the little things in life 💖. Biking sounds like a fun thing to do. Thanks for the lovely comment Corinne 😘 xx
This is such brilliant list, Bexa! TBH most of your items would make me happy too (random adventures with Shaun excepted, no offence, haha!) but especially Only Fools and Horses, peach tea, summer evenings, and cheesy 80’s music. I wrote a couple of 25 Things That Make Me Happy posts last year and they were such fun to do. Reading your list has made me think I need to do an update now – watch this space! xx

He he, Only Fools & Horses always makes me laugh, Shaun & I brought the box set and watched all the episodes from the start last year 😂. Yay for peach tea, summer evenings & 80s music 😍. I’m looking forward to reading your updated list! Thanks for the lovely comment Lisa 😘 xx
I’m feeling all the love for this post especially sushi 💕💕💕💕💕
Sushi is amazinggg! 😍 Thanks for the comment Gem! 💕 xx
I love that you did this to start your week! I wrote a similar post a while back only with 15 things that make me happy and I struggled but so many of these things make me happy (like garlic bread mmmmm)

Yum, garlic bread is amazing! 😍 It was such a fun post to write but did take a lot of thinking he he. Thanks for your lovely comment Em 💖 xx
Random adventures, last minute holidays and train journeys are all my favourite things too, and surprisingly all travel-based haha! I loved reading your little post, it added a touch of positivity to end my day! I’ll definitely consider this as an idea when I hit a ‘writer’s block’ because I’m sure I will soon!

Aww this post is super sweet! I think it’s awesome and honestly just made me smile and think of some of the things I love. I’ve had such a long day and I’m so tired and feeling bleh like this really just sparked my mood a bit. Lol I love that free WiFi is on this list 😂 And I know that you love Dr. Maarten’s, Sweet P Fries & Washi Tape haha 💕💕

Aww I’m glad it made you smile Lena! 💖 It was such a fun post to write and made me feel very positive ☺️. Free WiFi is always good he he! Thank you for your lovely comment and hope you enjoy a relaxing evening after your long day 💕😘 xx
This is such an amazing idea!💕- I think it’s great to sit down and actually write down what makes you happy, so those thoughts aren’t all jumbled up in our brains… and easier to understand.💖 Sometimes, it’s the little things that can put the biggest smile on my face. For example, cuddling up in freshly cleaned sheets and watching a little bit (far too much) youtube. Oh, and rewatching The Addams Family too many times! hehe..😘
Great post Darling.. xoxo

I honestly felt happier just for reading your post – long live positivity, right? 🙂
