Looking back over April it feels like a month of two halves. The last part of the month was very reflective for me in particular. I’m not going to lie I struggled to find something to make me happy during some of those days. I hope next month is better.
Here’s what made me smile:
April 1: Surprise Easter eggs from mum.
April 2: Up early to get things done.
April 3: The smell of MAC lipsticks is one of my favourites.
April 4: Wearing my favourite lipstick makes any day better.
April 5: Curled my hair.
April 6: Kylie Minogue releases her new album.
April 7: Came home to a ton of new music to listen to.
April 8: Fluffy twosie and hot chocolate kind of night.
April 9: Found a way to make Rimmel’s Match Perfection foundation work with my MAC concealer.
April 10: Why are cinnamon donuts so tasty?!
April 11: My copy of Golden arrived.
April 12: Pleased with my hair cut.
April 13: Dominos kinda Friday.
April 14: My ASOS denim jacket is very warm when layered.
April 15: Sun was out.
April 16: Nice to wear my own clothes on one of my usual work days.
April 17: Training as part of work was useful and interesting.
April 18: Managed to find my favourite Rimmel mascara online and placed an order.
April 19: Second trip to Kmart.
April 20: Finished another book.
April 21: Thankful for laughter.
April 22: Sunday’s and bold lips go well together.
April 23: I liked my hair today.
April 24: I like my hair straight lately.
April 25: Roast pork with crackling for dinner.
April 26: Burnt my Ecoya candle finally.
April 27: First time wearing makeup in almost a week.
April 28: Spent the day in my pyjamas.
April 29: First day I haven’t cried all week, go me!
April 30: I’m going to be sad when I finish Revlon’s Fire & Ice rollerball perfume, the scent is so long lasting.
What were you grateful for in April?

I really love reading these Gratitude posts and need to try and get myself to do a list of 1 good thing a day regularly again! I’m so bad at actually keeping at it, but I think it would be a lovely thing to do and great for your mental health too!

I’m glad you enjoy these posts Claire ☺️ once you get into the habit of doing it it’s not difficult at all. Some times I miss a few days but because I write in my bullet journal everyday about what I did and how I felt I can remember what that day was like when I look back and need my daily highlight x

It’s nice to have curly hair once in a while! The best thing about the donuts is they were mini ones 😋

Doing this also helps on days that aren’t so great. New music from your favourite artists fills me with excitement!
