We Accept the Love We Think We Deserve
Hello Hapi People!
Today is a very special day. Its the 6th month mark of Zach and I's relationship. I'm not calling it an anniversary because it isn't technically a full year. However, 6 months is a significant amount of time to spend with someone. I know some of you are thinking, "Who cares?" lol, but I think it brings up an important subject.
Don't Stress, Just Eat That Slice
Hello Hapi People!
Happy First Day of June! I hope your Monday goes well. As a kid, simple pleasures like a Disney movie
and pizza at home made me pretty happy. Now at 24 ... well it still makes me
happy lol! The happiness comes from a different place though, and I wanted to
share it with you today.
A Little Pick Me Up
Hello Hapi People!
I hope you are having a good week so far and that you enjoyed yesterday's post. Let me know here or on social media if you would like to see more LUSH posts. I don't have long post for you today but I just wanted to give a little update. Yesterday the Got 2 Be Hapi Blog page on Facebook received 400 likes! I thought it was a big milestone and there was even a little confetti. ;)

Oh La LUSH! - LUSH Bath Bombs
Hello Hapi People!!
Yes, that is two exclamation points because I am very excited about today's post! I recently placed an order with LUSH Cosmetics, and my order finally came! If you are familiar with LUSH then you understand my excitement. If you are not familiar, LUSH Cosmetics is a company that makes bath, body, and beauty products. All of their products are handmade and contain fresh and environmentally friendly ingredients. It is a really cool company and I would definitely suggest checking them out - I will leave a link below. And before I loose those uninterested in baths and beauty, this would make a great gift for someone in your life that does enjoy it.

Hello Hapi People!
Whew! What a whirlwind of a week. I hope your week went well, mine was busy and a bit crazy. I can't believe we are nearing the end of May. I know school is almost about to end for my area. I have been on break from school for about a month now - but as busy as I've been it hasn't been a much of a "break" lol.
Anywho, summer is definitely here in Florida where its hot, humid and beautiful. Summer is definitely my favorite time of year because of the warm weather, the beach, light breezy clothes, and making lots of happy memories. I know as a kid it was the best time of year and I have many fond memories of playing with friends, bbq's, and growing up a little each year. Now as an adult, at the beginning of the summer I have all these goals I want to accomplish. Of course, most of them are a bit idealistic, don't come to pass, or life just doesn't go according to plan. I know the last few weeks I have dealt with people, everyday happenings, and unexpected events that have thrown me for a loop. I sometimes have to tell myself that no matter what I plan or think will happen I have to be flexible. Since I am given to anxiety and any sort of confrontation scares me ... well thats easier said than done lol.
Don't Be Afraid of Doing What You Are Meant to Do
Hello Hapi People!
Monday, Monday ... the weekend is over and I hope you had a good one. I watched my baby sister graduate from high school this weekend. Needless to say I'm very proud of her accomplishments and her brainy brain.
Watching Alison walk across that stage, I know it caused me to look at my own life. I am sure some of you may ponder the same - "Am I where I want to be?" ... " Have I stayed true to those big dreams I had in high school?"
Woman, What a Beauty!
Hello Hapi People!
TGIF! Do people still say that? Lol I hope you all have had a fantastic week. I am excited to share another makeup session with you today. (Sorry boys, I know these posts are girly. Some more stuff is coming your way.) My dear friend, Cindy Platt, and I sat down and played with makeup today. It was so much fun sharing tips & tricks that she can use everyday and for special occasions. Mom to one of my closets friends in high school, Cindy and I had so much fun joking around and playing pretty. I will share some of the tips I gave her for age appropriate and easy-to-do makeup tips. Here are some pics from our time together ...

My Life in Stills
I hope your week started off right. I know yesterday's post was a bit heavy and maybe controversial so I thought I would switch gears today. (You never really know what I might throw at ya lol!) I thought I would take the challenge of documenting my day in pictures. Not a typical thing I do, I'm usually someone who would rather be in the moment than documenting it. However, I think picture taking makes you stop and really see what you are doing - maybe even appreciate something mundane. I just had a busy day of unexpected things but thought I would share it all with you. It was a bit of a roller coaster weekend so taking the time to just document my day gave me some peace of mind. I don't know if you guys will enjoy this at all but, here we go ...
Weak Strengths
Hello Hapi People!
I am going to hit the ground running this week with a lot of thoughts that will seem disjointed but just stick with me. I think in order not to upset anyone and to please everyone, people play things safe. I know that I am a people pleaser but I think I'm terrible at it. I want so badly to please people that I think I give up before I start sometimes. I'm so afraid of not pleasing that if I'm not around people - not contributing in their lives daily - that after awhile they won't want to talk to me. I'm never the one to speak first and it's something I regret. However, I can't change what has come to pass. My dad told me the other day - preempting the statement with "this is cliche" - that when one door closes another opens. I've stated that I don't know if this blog is a door to anything. I just want this to be a place to come and relate to people - I want to build a relationship here with readers. I think in order to build a good relationship I think you have to be fearless and trust yourself.

Your C.A.R.T.
Hello Hapi People!
I hope you are having a good week. I wasn't sure what to post about today but I thought I would give some tips and advice .... on generosity. I want this blog to be about things that make me happy but I don't want anyone to think happiness is all about intake. Giving people your compassion, attention, resources and time can bring you more happiness than receiving anything. Think about the last time someone sacrificed or gave something to you. Did you not appreciate their generosity? Giving from the "C.A.R.T." list (compassion, attention, resources and time) means you are giving a gift that you cannot get back. Being able to give from your own "C.A.R.T." and not focusing on yourself can be very rewarding and increase you happiness.
It's Not All Girly ... I Promise

Quick! Help! I'm Stressin'!
Hello Hapi People!
Can you feel it? Spring is in the air, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming and .... STRESS IS HERE!!!
Spring can be a stressful time for everyone because a lot of events are happening. School is wrapping so students have finals and projects. Some people are graduating and moving on to college, grad school or higher, or going into the real world. Its tax season ... which speaks for itself. You may be looking for a summer job or trying to plan for the summer. Anyways, like I've said in a previous post, spring is a time for change and challenges. If you are like me, when I hear those words I think "Bring on the stress!" lol

Being Real Ya'll
This post was supposed to go out yesterday but I spent a lovely evening with my boyfriend after a very long week of barely seeing each other and decided that was priority. It’s been a long week of finals and I’m almost done. Those of
you who have been to school know how stressful it is during finals. I wasn’t
even sure if I wanted to post about this topic of school and finals but, I want
to be honest and real. In the spirit honesty, I have to say ... this semester
sucked! It was horrible and I wasn't at school the majority of the time. It was
difficult for me to be there from being sick, anxious, and not being able to
sleep. It is the last week of school. I have been doing my best to rest up for
this week and take my exams. I have one more to do this weekend but I'm pretty
much done. I know judgment will come but honestly it could have been
worse.
Positivi-tea
Hello Hapi People!
I'm looking at my calendar and its nearly the end of April - I can hardly believe it. This spring has been a beautiful one with wonderful weather here in Florida. Spring is always a time of change and this spring definitely has been a change in pace for me. Life has presented new challenges and delights that I have not before experienced. From challenges with my voice and school, thinking about the future, and having a serious and healthy relationship ... its a lot to take in. I believe though, that I let the challenges blind me from the opportunities and positivities in my life. I do try to look for the positives and blessings in my life. I thankfully have people in my life (who are blessings themselves) who remind me of them.
