Things for Happiness: Week 1

As I've stated before, I created this blog to celebrate the simple things in life that make me happy. I'm lucky enough to find that many, many things in this life make me happy, and I'd love to share them all with you! (Hopefully you'll find some things that make you happy as well. :) ) Thus, I will be making a weekly list of five things that stand out in my mind as making me particularly happy that week. Look for the entry on Thursdays!

So without further ado, here are the five things making me happy this week:

1. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure nail polish in "Plum's the Word" - such an awesome shade of deep purple! I love it because it looks great on my nails and lasts for ages - it doesn't begin to chip for at least a week, and I love how that makes it very low maintenance. My nails actually grow faster than this polish takes to chip! Also, it just makes my toes happy. :)
2. Upcoming photoshoot plans this weekend - after a summer of next-to-no photoshoots (I have literally only had one thus far), I'm finally getting back to squeezing some shoots in before I leave for school in two weeks. Also, working with some new (lovely) models! First shoot is on Friday evening, and hopefully another one (or two) will follow on Saturday and Sunday. Those photos will definitely go up on this blog, so keep a lookout!
3. The Lumineers - Lumineers - I know, I know. I'm way late on this, but I finally bought this lovely CD. I've been listening to some awesome Lumineers tunes on Spotify for ages, but now I finally own them! If you've not given this wonderful disc a listen yet, skip the overplayed "Ho Hey" and go for "Big Parade," "Flowers In Your Hair," or "Flapper Girl" (my personal top three).
4. Polaroid book - bought this brilliant little book of excellent Polaroids at the bookstore yesterday, and I am in love! I absolutely adore Polaroids... I really wish it wasn't so danged expensive to take Polaroid photos anymore. I really feel like I missed out on owning - and abusing - a fun Polaroid camera.
5. Linen tote bag - this wonderful bag was only $5 at Marshall's! Of course I had to purchase it. It's so roomy and durable, it's definitely going to be put to good use for carrying groceries and other necessities this upcoming school year - I absolutely cannot wait!

What is making y'all happy this week? Let me know in the comments! :)
