The Pursuit of Happiness

Hello Piglets,
This is your fearless leader speaking. The last few weeks have been a roller coaster of amazing highs and incredible lows. Yet I feel like this this range of happiness happens to me every year. SO, I have decided to make this winter one of utter bliss. Like gourmet marshmallows from William Sonoma happiness or that feeling of getting your first Louis... well maybe not that happy but we will shoot for it! Here are a few goals of mine to make my winter perfect and hopefully yours too!


1) Function and Fashion: Looking Cute While Being Snug as a Bug in a Rug
This winter y'all need to stock up on a few winter essentials. These should be basic staples to your winter wardrobe. I'm talkin' a trench coat, monochromatic sweater dress, a sweater with a hint of shimmer, leggings, boots, and a giant scarf with fur trim. If you have one of each of these bad boys you will be set for the rest of your days.

2) Artistic Nourishment:
In my opinion the winter is a perfect time to get in touch with your creative side. This doesn't mean putting paint on a canvas, but instead creating something that not only inspires you, but your peers. If your handy with a brush, go for it, but if your just a mere mortal like me, you can let out your inner Monet in a number of ways. For me I like to take the digital route i.e my blog (yes that means I will actually be posting this winter.) but if you don't want to devote yourself to the blog-o-shpere you can get savvy with something like Pinterest or Tumblr. Post pictures of things that are inspiring you and share them with your friends! Nothing sounds better than sitting down with a cup of cocoa, wrapped up in a Little Giraffe Blanket and click clacking away on the old Mac book.

3) A Winter Romance
It seems like around this time of year relationships seem to dwindle. This year I am determined to keep my love life as warm as a chestnut roasting by an open fire. This means no braving the cold with a hat and no make up. No staying in on Friday nights because 25 Days of Christmas is on. This means solely looking cute on New Years for the distinct purpose of snagging a kiss when the ball drops. For those of you with a significant other, PLEASE keep shaving your legs and PLEASE do all of those cheesy wintery dates you've always wanted to do. Don't let the cold make your relationship go frigid. Step up your game this winter piglets, the mistletoe is calling. 

4) Spend Some Time With Ye Besties
This winter break spend some quality time with your best friends. Don't let the hustle and bustle of your mom's friend's christmas parties get in the way of the people who always have your back. Before going to a christmas party, have your friends over for manis and pedis. Dedicate a week night to re watching all of your favorite christmas movies. Make puppy chow.... mmm puppy chow. 


Go forth and be merry piglets!! Be merry and bright!
