Tips for Keeping A Happy Perspective…

♥ BECAUSE I’M HAPPY ♥

Had to start off today’s post with some of my favorite lyrics from a song that always cheers me up…’Happy‘ by Pharrell from the Despicable Me soundtrack hehe :p I don’t know about you but between blogging, starting my own business + working 24/7 sometimes it is hard to keep a happy perspective when I am trying to do it all. Because of that I have been striving to always be happy no matter what is happening in life so I wanted to share some of my tips for keeping a happy outlook + positive attitude no matter what.

1. MAKE A PLAN FOR SUCCESS

Too often the number one stressor people have is not having a plan. Whether that be a plan for their future, a plan for their week, a plan for work etc. While I often have a lot of different things going on at once, I keep my sanity + my positive attitude by writing things down in my calendar + creating plans + timelines for when + how I need to get things done. By doing this I avoid getting unhappy + stressed out by different situations coming up 🙂

2. TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF

The number one way to make yourself unhappy? Not caring for yourself. Whether it’s unwinding with your favorite show, reading a good book or taking a vacation, taking time to rest, recharge + do the things you enjoy is crucial to keeping a happy outlook each + every day.

3. NOT SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF

As I’ve gotten older I learned the importance of not stressing over little issues. Something that tends to always stress me out isn’t big problems, it’s little problems that pop up randomly. By conditioning yourself to not overreact when little bumps arise, you are able to feel a lot happier + carefree.

4. EXPLORE NEW INTERESTS

A sure fire way to keep me happy is by traveling, trying new hobbies or just exploring a new interest. Whether it be buying a Groupon for a fun activity or traveling to a new city, switching things up is a great way to get out of a funk, brighten up your mood + give you a happy outlook!

5. KNOW YOUR LIMITS

OK, so I am so guilty of not following this + in turn getting frustrated haha We live in a world where everything is constant, jobs are basically 24/7 + we are all motivated to do our best + succeed. Now being a go-getter is of course AMAZING, BUT not so much at the expense of your relationships with family + friends, your mental health + your overall happiness. A key to happiness in my opinion is knowing your limits + what you can and can’t handle. If I need help I am not afraid to ask for it AND I am not afraid to say no if I know it truly doesn’t serve me well 🙂

What things do you do to maintain a happy outlook? I’d love to hear!

♥ Spring Ready in 1, 2, 3 ♥

I am finally back in LA after a long + busy week in NYC! While I LOVE New York, I must say it’s draining + takes the life out of me in ways it never used to when I was ‘younger‘ + living in NY hehe From running around the city, to carrying tons of bags, to walking + racing to catch trains, NYC is tough + is not for the faint of heart…especially during a rainy spring like this one. It rained basically everyday so it’s safe to say I am super excited to be back in super LA where I can wear my fav spring clothes year round :p

Since temps are heating up, May flowers are blooming + it’s officially spring, I am all about adding new chic styles to my wardrobe. My go-to one stop shop for all the cute trends? Red Dress Boutique! I love their styles, price point + amazing variety…honestly basically OBSESSED!

While I am loving tons of styles from Red Dress, I am sharing some of my favorite styles here! I am loving anything with a flutter sleeve, especially a printed midi like this dress. This Midi Dress is chic enough for date night, appropriate for work + the ultimate spring into summer must have! It fits true to size, retails for under $50 + is lightweight + comfy for all day wear.

My shoes + bag are also from Red Dress. This green ark bag is a total Cult Gaia dupe for under $70. I love the ark bag style so much I bought it in every color to match with all my spring into summer looks. Everyone asks if because of it’s design do things fall out or can you see through it…answer is nope…it’s basically perfect 😉

These shoes are my obsession. I love a good nude shoe, especially one as comfortable as this one. This chunky heel style is chic, comfy + also comes in black for fall!

This next outfit is my personal favorite. The silhouette of this white fit + flare dress is super flattering no matter what your body type + comes in a variety of colors to choose from. No joke, with blogging I do tend to be gifted pieces from various boutiques etc but this dress from Red Dress was something I was so in love with, I bought it in every color…just to make sure I can wear this style all the time!

From white to navy to red to pink, my closet is now filled with this style. It’s cozy, chic + affordable to stock up in. Retailing for under $65, this dress will become your favorite spring piece. It runs big so size down + the rope tie belt is adjustable to cinch in a way to accentuate your figure.

If you are looking for a bright, colorful, statement making bag, this rainbow clutch is sure to do the trick! Perfect for date night, brunch with the girls, tropical vacays + more, this clutch is amazing quality + retails for under $50!
