Life Lately: Happy Things

Life lately has been pretty good. Here’s why:

The weather

I know it’s not the most popular opinion, but this is my favourite weather of the year! As you know, I’m so glad it’s autumn, and this weather is perfect. In Florida, it’s still basically summer. I guess this weather reminds me a bit of London :)

Walks home

This kind of goes along with the weather, but I’ve been enjoying my walks home so much more lately. During the summer, I would walk as fast as I could to get out of the heat as fast as possible. Now, I find myself meandering along side streets to admire the pretty houses that I’ll never be able to afford. Some have even started adding autumnal decorations :)

I got my haircut!

I’ve been meaning to get my haircut recently, but for the past 10 or so years, I’ve gotten my haircut by the same person. However, I wanted a haircut so badly that I put my trust into a complete stranger and asked her for a bob. It definitely exceeded my expectations!

White Collar

How have I not discovered this show sooner? I stumbled upon it on Netflix when I needed something to watch and immediately fell in love with Neal Caffrey. I’ve binge-watched more episodes than I care to admit.

10K followers on Instagram!

This is probably some of the biggest news I’ve had lately. I started my Instagram account for my blog at the end of July and never dreamt that it would ever reach 10,000 followers. Thank you to those of you who follow me, and, if you don’t, you should!

Persian food

Another international trip within the confines of Manhattan, I went out to dinner at a Persian restaurant with my Iranian friend Ali and our other coworkers. It was delicious. And the portions were huge, which is always good in my book. I highly recommend trying it if you get the chance.

Well, that’s life for me lately. Have you been up to anything exciting?

      Thank you! Yeah, I find that taking stock of the good in my life really helps with my overall state of mental well-being and brings me back to the present!
