gratitude
/ noun
the quality of being thankful; readiness to show appreciation for and to return kindness.
I honestly don’t know how to sum up July. Part of me feels like it has passed quickly but then part of me also remembers these memories/highlights very clearly. I treated myself to new items this month, a DSLR was the big one but I also bought clothes and makeup. My emotions have been weird which is why I’m not sure what to say about July. I’m glad it’s over I guess?!
Here’s what made me smile in July:
July 1: When you get given chocolate cake at work.
July 2: Finished another jigsaw puzzle.
July 3: Kitty cuddles in bed.
July 4: When your boyfriend sees a ‘Tag a girl who looks beautiful without makeup’ meme on Facebook and says, “you” – he’s so sweet!
July 5: Unexpected trip to the MAC counter, came away with two items.
July 6: Thought provoking chats with the boyfriend.
July 7: After researching DSLRs for the past week and a bit I keep going back to the Canon 700D.
July 8: The Body Shop’s Cocoa Butter body butter smells delicious – almost like chocolate!
July 9: Wore Show Orchid for the second time and I’ve only had it four days.
July 10: Butter chicken leftovers for lunch.
July 11: Rose gold eyeshadow.
July 12: Wearing a bright pink fluffy robe on a cold evening.
July 13: Finally caved and bought the Canon 700D camera – can’t wait to use it!
July 14: Had a hot chocolate made for me at work.
July 15: Up to date with PointlessBlogVlog’s videos… again. Sometimes I fall behind but I catch up eventually.
July 16: Out of work on time and ready for my days off after working six days (52 hours) in a row!
July 17: Got to see my love for the first time in a week.
July 18: My camera arrived!
July 19: Wearing a pair of ponte pants I bought yesterday.
July 20: Chenille cardigan arrived, it’s so soft and warm!
July 21: I blimmin’ love Show Orchid!
July 22: Took my first photo for the blog with my camera. (The photo in my July Favourites 2017 post).
July 23: Changing into comfy clothes after work is such a relaxing feeling.
July 24: Pepperoni pizza for lunch.
July 25: Cuddles when you feel sad help you feel better.
July 26: Louie Spence on The Chase is one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a while.
July 27: Kept myself busy meaning the day passed quicker. Burger King for dinner was also a treat!
July 28: Wore my go to lip colour and eyeshadow today, such a winning combination.
July 29: Steps were on New Zealand TV!
July 30: Bought a very bling nail polish on my lunch break; Glow Your Own Way by Essie.
July 31: Ticking tasks off to do lists is rewarding.

I agree, the Body Shop Cocoa Butter body does smell almost like chocolate. 🙂
Show Orchid looks amazing on you – a great colour for the colder months too.
Oooh I've not seen Essie Glow Your Own Way – so pretty!

I am so far, the manual modes aren’t too difficult either! I hope they bring the Cocoa Butter back 😍 Show Orchid is the Chanelle colour, fuschia/bright pink any day! I painted my nails with it on Sunday and it looks so nice!

I have a gratitude / LOA journal and it’s honestly one of the best decisions I’ve made, thanks for sharing this!

That’s so cool! Can I be a little uneducated and ask what an LOA journal is?

Law of attraction! It’s about being grateful for things and manifesting whatever you want into your life, if you haven’t heard of it it’s an amazing concept (that actually works) you should check it out!

July sounds like a productive month for you. In July I am grateful for faith, family, friendship, good food, church, cafe/coffeeshops, Camp Gladiator and my classes.
