30 things to put you in an instant good mood:
From Glamour magazine<3.
1. Google your first head-over-heels summer love. Consider sending him an e-mail.2. Get rid of some unhappiness: Let go of a grudge, forgive a slight, unload a worry.
3. Give dark nail polish the summer off. Yes, it’s edgy, but nothing beats looking down at 10 pretty pastels.
4. See The Bourne Ultimatum just for brainy Matty D.’s biceps.
5. Eat plenty of pink: lemonade, grapefruit, champagne, frosting.
6. Run an ice cube all over him. Or if there’s no him, you.
7. Marco? Polo!
8. Use your sexy walk. Take all catcalls as compliments.
9. Open drawer. Insert BlackBerry. Close drawer. Walk away.
10. Skip makeup for a day and call it your new nude look.
11. Sit in front of a freezing-cold air conditioner in a darkened room and have an all-day screening of winter movies like Doctor Zhivago, Never Cry Wolf, March of the Penguins.
12. Plant something. Watch it grow. Eat it with a nice vinaigrette.
13. Spend 15 minutes browsing for sandals at zappos.com, which has—no joke—338 pairs under $40.
14. Naked sleeping, naked TV watching, naked iPod updating, naked tub scrubbing…need we go on?
15. Download the singsongy ice cream truck jingle as your ringtone (for as long as you can stand it). Just search online for “download ice cream truck ringtone”—it actually works!
16. Give the kid a whole dollar for the lemonade.
17. Dip your feet in a cool, crisp body of water (yes, a blow-up pool counts).
18. Order the 2½-pound lobster. Of course you can finish it!
19. Bikram sex. As in hot, sweaty, intense.
20. “Don’t worry about a thing. ‘Cause every little thing gonna be alright.” Repeat anytime you need a Bob Marley moment.
21. Make sangria (check out epicurious.com). Wine-soaked fruit: Does it get any better?
22. Get a dog. Do it! You know you want to.
23. Put a pair of sunglasses on a baby strictly for your own enjoyment.
24. Entertain your fellow drivers by singing out loud to the radio with the windows down. Also, make “air waves” with your hands.
25. Add fresh mint to all cold beverages.
26. Price a quickie weekend trip to Vegas. Yeah, it’s hotter ‘n hell there, but the fun is all indoors.
27. Be barefoot more often than is socially appropriate.
28. Hit the beach or pool at sundown, when all the crowds have gone. Have yourself a lovely solo swim.
29. Celebrate Take Your Sundress to Work Day. Wear an office-y little sweater, but know that underneath it you have the day off.
30. Turn 360 degrees and identify five things around you that are making your life more beautiful right now.
You can be Loved
even if you are not perfect
even if you don’t know the answer
even if you are horribly confused
even if you can’t make anyone feel better
even if you don’t know how to make yourself well
even if you made a mistake
even if you don’t know how to be
even if you are ashamed
even if you are hopeless
even if you don’t quite fit in
even if you are scared
even if you are lonely
even if you shouldn’t be having such a hard time right now
even if you don’t think so
even if you haven’t found your place yet
even if you aren’t proud of yourself
even if no one has really seen you before
even if you don’t know what to do
even if you try too hard
even if you’re disappointed
even if you don’t really like yourself right now
even if you are beyond good advice
even if you don’t know how to cry
even if you think this post must be meant for someone other than you.-By J. Lemen
Would you want to live in a refrigerator?— my mom, while explaining that Mrs. Buttersworth does not go in the fridge. (via hello-therelove)
To love is to suffer. To avoid suffering, one must not love. But then, one suffers from not loving. Therefore, to love is to suffer; not to love is to suffer; to suffer is to suffer. To be happy is to love. To be happy, then, is to suffer, but suffering makes one unhappy. Therefore, to be happy, one must love or love to suffer or suffer from too much happiness.— Woody Allen (via hello-therelove)
