gratitude
/ noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
March has been the most ‘normal’ month of 2017 so far. I’ve gotten back into exercycling and I’m loving it – it is paying off already! March went very fast but there have been lots of nice moments which have contributed to a positive month. I have also made a couple of exciting purchases (the iPad and KitchenAid blender from my Tech/Lifestyle Wishlist).
Here’s what made me smile in March:
March 1: Road trip with my boyfriend, Una’s album arrived and I got to drink soup from a pretty cup.
March 2: Bright lips and Burger King, the two B’s!
March 3: Got told I have “such a sweet little voice” by a work colleague.
March 4: Catching up on things that need to be done is a good feeling.
March 5: Chill night in front of the TV.
March 6: Exciting Steps news: there’s going to be a new album and tour and a new single is out on Friday!
March 7: Six months today since I first met my boyfriend.
March 8: Jigsaw puzzling on a rainy afternoon complete with cuddles.
March 9: You know you’re known as the bright lipstick girl at work when a staff member gives you a lipstick that’s too bright for her.
March 10: The new Steps single is bloody amazing!
March 11: Getting hot chocolate made for you at work because you don’t drink coffee.
March 12: Final day of work for the week!
March 13: Happy, chill day at home.
March 14: Sometimes people go out of their way to do things, I’m very appreciative.
March 15: Kit Kat Tiramisu chocolate is pretty tasty!
March 16: Got to have a quick foot and leg massage at work tonight.
March 17: Good conversations and laughter put me in a positive mood.
March 18: Third day in a row I’ve received compliments from strangers about my hair.
March 19: Wore Syrup by MAC today, one of my all time faves.
March 20: Cosy jumper, Mini Eggs, and a jigsaw made for a nice Monday.
March 21: Went shooting with my boyfriend for the first time since October. He told me I did well.
March 22: There’s mostly been a sense of calm today.
March 23: Hearing Disco Love by The Saturdays at work was an unexpected but pleasant surprise.
March 24: Evenings spent singing will always be my favourite!
March 25: Changed my personal Facebook picture for the first time in months. I went for me with cat ears.
March 26: Used Bubblebath by OPI for the first time in ages. Still so pretty!
March 27: I’m now the owner of a Raspberry Ice KitchenAid blender.
(The buttons on mine are slightly different).
March 28: The sky and sunset looked stunning tonight, wish I had taken a picture.
March 29: Nice, relaxing day with my boyfriend.
March 30: Love getting stuck into a good book.
March 31: One more day of work before my four day weekend!
What are you grateful for this month?
Great post!

Aww 6 month anniversary! So sweet. 😀
You remind me that I should start on a jigsaw puzzle that my SO gave me about 3 years ago – untouched… 😳
Kit Kat Tiramisu chocolate sounds great! We just got a Kit Kat in ginger flavour – it’s interesting!
Congrats on the KitchenAid blender! ❤
This is how our mini eggs come:

That six months went so quickly!
What is your jigsaw a picture of? I used to like jigsaws when I was a kid and I guess that’s still there lol. I’m not a fan of ginger so I don’t think I’d like that Kit Kat
Our Mini Eggs are completely different colours, more pastel shades. Yours look so bright and vibrant! Interestingly, I think the Mini Eggs sold in NZ are made in Poland. I’m not sure if that’s all or just some…
Can’t wait to start whipping things up in the blender 🙂
