Ah, les p'tits plaisirs, as we say in French. Simple pleasures.
Yes, I've been indulging lately, and it feels good! Now and then, we need to stop restraining ourselves, relax and enjoy life!
So...
1. I bought the new iPhone 4S which I absolutely adore. Materialistic pleasures = short-term gratitude, I know, but hey! why not?? Money earned need to be spent!
2. Instead of pressuring myself into reading complicated novels about war, philosophy, or politically related topics, I started reading The Hunger Games (young adult section of the bookstore - no shame!), and basically, it's the type of book you can't put down :)
3. Food. I'm not talking about pigging out and eating KFC fried chicken, I'm talking about homemade, delicious comfort food. Turns out, I'm a stress-baker, and in the past few weeks, I made 2 yogurt cakes, chocolate-raspberry lava cakes, muffins, pumpkin pie, a flour-less chocolate cake and cookies. Talk about enjoying life and relieving stress! (i had to make a few trips to the gym to burn this off...).
(Even better, is when sweet treats are delivered to you by even sweeter people)
"Simple pleasures are life's treasures"
Indulge, people! Life is short and sweet.
xoxo
