June was a month filled with highs and lows, but writing my Happiness Highlights allowed me to focus on the positive and appreciate each passing day, whatever the case may be. #1: Indulging in my favourite treat, a Chinese takeaway (char siu fried rice). #2: Family coming together to support one another following a bereavement. #3: Despite some doubts, not …

May 2016 | Happiness Highlights

You might have been wondering whether I'd jumped into a DeLorean time machine recently, since that would provide a reasonable explanation for 1) My absence, and, 2) Writing about May in July.

Happy New Year! A lot of people often start a new year with hopes, dreams and prospects for the days that are yet to be written but the one wish that I have for myself and everyone else is to have a 2016 that is filled with happiness. So I thought, why not document all of the …

Blogmas #5 | The 30-Day Generosity Challenge

Another Monday closer to Christmas, another day crossed off our calendars and another chocolate eaten in our advents!
