40 Things That Make Me Happy


"The best part of life? Every morning you have a new opportunity to become a happier version of yourself."

Often times, we may be in our feelings a little too much to take the time to think about all of the things that we are actually happy about. It's so easy to dwell in the negative instead of focusing on the positive. That is why I wanted to share a list of 40 random things that make me happy. Writing things down that make you happy can also, make you happy! Thinking of the negative only drowns out all the good in our lives and let me tell y'all, thinking of negative ain't nothing but the DEVIL! Let's make a conscious effort today to change that and not let him win! Let's take the harder road and focus on all of the happiness we have in our lives, no matter how big or small it may be.

What are some things that make you happy? I'd love to hear about them here in the comments, or on my instagram page, @jamariaoliviaj.

1. Singing loud in the car... off key and all!
2. Spending quality time with my husband (it's my love language). :)
3. Eating candy with no guilt.
4. Shopping.. or window shopping online. Adding a lot of stuff I love to my cart and then X-ing out the web page is kind of liberating! :) BUT! That feeling you get when you have a package at your doorstep is also SUPER exciting!
5. Talking to my Mom on the phone or spending quality time with her.
6. Binge watching my favorite TV shows.
7. Walking on the beach.
8. Hanging out with my family.
9. Dancing!
10. Having girls time with my girlfriends.


11. Flamin' Hot Funyuns.
12. BLOGGING! Thank you so much for sticking with me through my ups and downs. xo
13. Decorating my house! I love it so much!
14. Taking pictures! Not me physically taking them.. but like.. getting my picture taken. :)
15. Mani/Pedi time!
16. Beyonce. She gets me.
17. Getting my hair done.. nothing like the smell of fresh hair products on clean hair!
18. The Cosby Show!
19. Taking trips! Travel is life!
20. Pizza. Preferably Slim and Husky's Pizza.


21.  Reminiscing about my childhood. Nostalgia makes me SO happy.
22. Playing games on my phone.
23. Helping Others/Giving advice. I love to see other people come up!
24. Moana. No questions.
25. CHRISTMAS. (see what I did there?) Christmas music too!
26. Bath and Body Works. Like their candles, hand soaps, and wallflower refills!
27. Stalking cool people on Instagram. I can do this for hours!
28. Feeling loved; by family, friends, etc.
29. Spending time with  babies/children.. kids are good at uplifting your mood, unless they are bad then.. they may make you mad, haha.
30. Reading a good book that I stay up so late because it's just too good to put down.


31. Deep intellectual conversations with friends and family.
32. Having parties/gathering at our house.
33. SUNSHINE... it is an instant mood booster!
34. Ordering clothes online and then they all fit perfectly when you get them!
35. White chocolate covered strawberries from Godiva.
36. REALLY hot showers with a perfect water pressure.
37. A clean house! A clean and well organized house! WOOHH!
38. Not having to iron the outfit I want to wear for the day. BEST FEELING!
39. Having inside jokes with people.
40. Thinking about all of these things that make me happy!


 Don't forget to share with me some things that make you happy too! :) Thank you so much for reading. xo

  7. I love a lot of the same things! Books, movies, tv shows, music, singing, decorating, etc. I did randomly decide to try Funyuns last week after not eating them for years. Not a fan anymore, but I guess they weren't the flaming hot kind.
