ReplyDeleteYes.
Yes.
YES.
This is everything in a post I needed right now. I have that warm, happy, homey feeling right now and aagghh I need to bottle this up and put this in a candle. (Honestly, though - walking into a bookstore is the best feeling in this whole entire universe. That, and turning on the radio to realize that Christmas music has finally started playing)
Would you mind if I did something like this on my blog? This is so wonderful. <3

Oh, thank you so much! That really means a lot to me. Wanting to make a post into a candle is the highest compliment one can receive, I think.
DeleteBookstores and Christmas are just so fantastic.
Of course! I'd love that so much! I can't wait to see the post.
Love you, Olivia.
I LIVE FOR WALKING INTO BOOKSTORES. YES.
ReplyDeleteAND I DO KNOW WHAT PERFECT BLACK INK PENS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
ISN'T IT JUST THE BEST FEELING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD.
DeleteYES YES YES I COULD WRITE WITH ONLY THOSE FOR THE REST OF TIME AND BE PERFECTLY HAPPY
I. Love. This. SO MUCH!
ReplyDeleteLiterally all these things! <3

Thank you so much! All of those things make me so happy.
DeleteCOOKIE DOOOOUGH.
ReplyDeleteI love going shopping and walking out of a store with an armload of stuff that actually fits. I'm 4 ft. 10 inches and about 90 pounds, and often the x-smalls are too big for me. (This may sound like a nice problem to have. It is very much not a nice problem to have.) So if I ever walk out of a store with three or more things I love that actually fit, I feel like I'm on top of the world.
Ikr. My hair is naturally straight, but because of the way I wear it all the time (pulled back in a weird mock-bun) it gets kinks in it that make it look wavy. I love when I take it out of the hair elastic and it's bouncy and shiny with highlights and waves. It always makes me feel ten times more glamorous and confident.
I lOvE tHoSe PeNs Oh My GoSh.
Oh my gosh I love getting good grades. This probably sounds really arrogant, but I love getting back a test and scoring one of the highest - if not the highest - in the class.
I have never had a hot fudge sundae, but man does it sound good.
Hmm. I live for that feeling I get when I write something and I'm proud of it,
Having a conversation with my crush,
Stepping off the plane in Palm Springs and feeling the warm air envelope me and seeing the palm trees against the background of the sun setting over the mountain,
Discovering a new favorite artist or song,
and mashed taters and gravy.
I LOVE COOKIE DOUGH SO MUCH.
DeleteOh, that's just the best feeling ever. And then you're all excited to try them on at home and look FAB the next day at school.
I KNOW IT'S THE BEST SURPRISE EVER like hello yes your hair decided to give you a reward day
RIGHT??!
Same. It's amazing.
GO GET ONE RIGHT NOW YOU HAVEN'T LIVED
Having a conversation with my crush! How did I forget that one? It's one of my favorite feelings, too.
I love getting my makeup right too. Especially the moment where you get the winged eyeliner right and feel on top of the world.
ReplyDeleteSATURDAYS MAN THEY'RE AMAZING.
I live for sitting with my earbuds in, listening to FOB, and feeling the rest of the world drain away so it's just me and the beat of the music and Patrick's soulful voice serenading out my lifeblood.
Winged eyeliner is going to be the death of me.
DeleteSATURDAYS YAS WE CAN DEFINITELY BE FRIENDS
I live for... Taylor Swift.
