Daily Delights: What’s Delighting Me Right Now 7/14/13

So what are daily delights? Daily delights are the little things that make life worth living. Things that inspire. Encourage. Make Me Smile. Make Me Laugh. Make Things Rosier.

The happy little things, people, events, products, places and pieces of art that make the world a happier place to live in.

Are these things mind-blowing? Earth-shattering? Life-changing. Not usually. But they’re things that make me smile and, thus, make me want to share with you.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed them.

(These are usually pictures I post on Instagram of things that I’m loving at that exact moment. So if you want to get my daily delights on a daily, moment-by-moment basis, follow me on Instagram at @beautyfrosting)

1. Be Your Best Self. While house-hunting, I saw this written on the resident’s door by the peephole. Nice reminder as you walk out into the world every day, huh?

Good to remember as you're heading out into the world every day - Be Your Best Self.

 

2. Baskin Robbins Clown Cones. The only clowns that don’t scare me. Pure nostalgia in a cup. Just the sight of these delight me so!

3. And speaking of nostalgia…a 70s Skate Night with Sydne Summer and Hello Glendale at Moonlight Rollerway. Fab fashionistas dressed in vintage 70s, free skate and an open snack bar. Ummm, heaven.

I got suuuuper into it! I felt a little like a hybrid of Janet AND Chrissy on Three’s Company. In fact, I couldn’t get the song out of my head!

Someone was enjoying the costume immensely...especially the shiny Solid Gold-dancer-style tights!

4. My neighbor-friends brought this back from Texas for me. Fancy, indeed. Whataburger Fancy Ketchup is the BEST ketchup on the planet.

5. PioneerBaby!! Jennifer picked up this precious hat for Hope’s daughter, Isla and I am obsessed. Soooo Little House on The Prairie.

Pioneer Baby!!!

 

6. Nothin’ better post-spin class than Clover Juices. Best juices I’ve tasted! And reasonable to boot! I’m enjoying these so much that I’m gonna need a juicer at home!

7. Mid-week Wine Tasting with a bestie. Learn About Wine events are great for some quality friend time because they’re fun, casual, informative and…DELICIOUS! Lucky I got to spend Wednesday night with one of my besties, Vanessa York of Shindig Shoppe – who is responsible for all BeautyFrosting design elements!

Why, yes, we will have another glass!

 

8. Saw this One Good Deed A Day Journal at Anthropologie and I was sold. Definitely on my wish list! Couldn’t we all use this happy little reminder to create daily delights for others?

That’s it for this week’s Daily Delights. May there be many more delights – for both you and me – in the week ahead!

BF Asks: What were your Daily Delights this week? 

Daily Delights: What’s Delighting Me Right Now, 7/8/13 edition

Oh yes! Another new column! How often? Who knows? I’m aiming for weekly as Daily Delights come into my life, um… well, daily.

So what are daily delights? Daily delights are the little things that make life worth living. Things that inspire. Encourage. Make Me Smile. Make Me Laugh. Make Things Rosier.

The happy little things, people, events, products, places and pieces of art that make the world a happier place to live in.

Are these things mind-blowing? Earth-shattering? Life-changing. Not usually. But they’re things that make me smile and, thus, make me want to share with you.

So here is my first Daily Delights column. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed them.

They’re usually pictures I post on Instagram of things that I’m loving at that exact moment.
So if you want to get my daily delights on a daily, moment-by-moment basis, follow me on Instagram at @beautyfrosting.

1. Cherry Pie at my neighborhood coffee shop-haunt, Paper or Plastik. I didn’t eat it. But I have heard it’s as good as it looks.

2. Gosh golly, I love this Nalukai necklace. I layer it with my sideways cross necklace that I never take off. Maybe it’s just me but I feel like it gives me an – ahem – edge and yet also has a message that I need to remember daily: BALANCE. I love the entire Nalukai collection as it incorporates elements of Hawaiian culture and philosophy. Plus, and it’s all about embracing our journey, healing and prevailing. What a lovely daily reminder!

3. This delicious, little Harmless Harvest coconut water satisifies my sweet cravings while giving me vital nutrients and antioxidants. Best coconut water I have found! I buy mine at Erewhon or Whole Foods. And I love that it’s the perfect, single serving size! Perfect when you’re trying to be healthy and light!

4. Is there any food more comforting than creamy tomato soup? I think not. That’s why I love Chado Tea Room‘s vegetarian tomato soup! And I’m not even vegetarian!! I love going to their afternoon tea with my talented friend, Nami M. Scott – but I always have to have that magical soup!

5. Right before going on a walk with my friend, Amy, I spotted this bracelet on her bathroom counter. Such a sweet bracelet and it really gives a whole new meaning to wearing your heart on your sleeve!

Love my friend Amy's sweet heart bracelet!

 

That’s it for this week’s Daily Delights. May there be many more delights in the week ahead!
