Flipping through art books
IMAGINATION
The perfect pair of high heels that make you feel sexy if need be
My brother’s big blue eyes
Water ripples
Daring haircuts
Driving at night and rolling the window down to just let the cool air rush past your face
Going out of your way to crunch a crunchy leaf
Rainbow sprinkles on donuts
The crunch sound the snow makes when you step in it
Black straws at fancy restaurants
Dreaming passionately
Spelling words correctly
My best friend who is obsessed with Disney Princesses but listens to Nelly Jay-Z and LL Cool J (among others)
Loving Completely
Manly man chests
Soft whispers
Tangled Snuggles
The feeling of lightness your feet get after a pedicure
People watching
Being optimistic
Marshmallow mustache from Hot Cocoa
Watching the bubbles rise up from a newly poured drink
The perfect amount of fry sauce on a French fry
JCrew
A long walk with no where to go
Quoting movies
Walking slowly through Disneyland because you’ve done everthing you’ve wanted for a day
ANYTHING Audrey Hepburn (how I wish I was her..)
The cool breeze that is just the right temperature
Peeling that thin plastic film off electronics
The sound of scissors cutting construction paper
Putting on clothes freshly from the warm dryer
Laughing so hard no sound comes out
Listening to rain inside a tent
Hitting all of the green lights
When you arrive at your destination right as the good song ends
When the grocery store attendant opens up a new lane
The feeling of rain on my face
The perfect pair of high heels that make you feel sexy if need be
My brother’s big blue eyes
Water ripples
Daring haircuts
Driving at night and rolling the window down to just let the cool air rush past your face
Going out of your way to crunch a crunchy leaf
Rainbow sprinkles on donuts
The crunch sound the snow makes when you step in it
Black straws at fancy restaurants
Dreaming passionately
Spelling words correctly
My best friend who is obsessed with Disney Princesses but listens to Nelly Jay-Z and LL Cool J (among others)
Loving Completely
Manly man chests
Getting an eyelash out of your eye
Figuring out how the hotel shower faucet works
Tortoise shell glasses
Finally remember that word that is on the tip of your tongue
The smell of the coffee isle in the grocery store
Taking that first scoop from the peanut butter
Letting sand run through your fingers
Glitter shoes
Soft whispers
Tangled Snuggles
The feeling of lightness your feet get after a pedicure
People watching
Being optimistic
Marshmallow mustache from Hot Cocoa
Watching the bubbles rise up from a newly poured drink
The perfect amount of fry sauce on a French fry
JCrew
A long walk with no where to go
Quoting movies
Walking slowly through Disneyland because you’ve done everthing you’ve wanted for a day
ANYTHING Audrey Hepburn (how I wish I was her..)
The cool breeze that is just the right temperature
Peeling that thin plastic film off electronics
Getting the prime movie seats in a theatre
Licking the cake batter off the spatula
That one really good pen that never gets lost
Squeezing through a door thats shutting without touching it
Tim Burton
Squirting your shampoo bottle and a thousand little bubbles explode out of it
Great Danes (I will own one some day)
Willy Wonka’s nonsense
Mickey Mouse's giggle
Laughing to yourself and then having people stare at you
Clean & fresh bed sheets
Tripping while walking and turning your half fall into a little jog to cover up the trip
Listening to music that gives you an extra bounce in your step
Hearing a smile in the dark
Old Batman cartoons
Candy colored hair
When the person you love is willing to fight to keep you no matter what.
Sunlight that glitters through the trees
The soft space nestled just between being awake & asleep
Dr. Seuss
Pastel colored nail polish that goes on smoothly the first time
Fluffy flouncy tulle
Old musty books
Natural looking makeup
Umbrellas
Long car rides to get some good thinking done
GENUINE AFFECTION
Helena Boham Carter, James Franco, Tom Hanks, Goldie Hawn, Steve Carell, Tea Leoni, Jim Carrey, Rachel Weiz, Dustin Hoffman, Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., Hugh Grant, Sandra Bullock, Merryl Streep
Mini coopers & Smartcars
Jane Austen
Listening to someone speak another language (so beautiful)
Having a crouton is each bite of your salad
One or two finger hand holding that shows you're absolutely comfortable being together
Newport Beach
Getting a wrapped present and its so neatly wrapped you don’t want to tear the paper
Becoming who you are
Finding treasures in unexpected places
Wearing tennis shoes with dresses
Living what you love
Not waiting but doing
The sound sequins make on your clothes when you move
Tasting the salty air when at the beach
Getting everything done on your list
After spending a day with him and smelling him on your clothes
Living your bliss
Colorful balloons
Receiving real Hugs
Black and white movies
Christmas lights
Wrestling/tickle fights
Rocking out to Disney music
Thriller
Getting dirty then taking a hot soapy sudsy shower afterwards
Dancing cheek to cheek
Typography
Random texts that make you smile
Listening to a heartbeat
When the sunlight trickles through the water of a swimming pool
Wishing that one moment would last just a little longer
Saying “I love you” and MEANING it
The spray of water on your face when boating
Sparkly city lights
Clothes wrapped in tissue paper after buying them at a nice store
Slow dancing
Bite sized ice cubes in your soda
Hugs from your mom
The first sip of a newly opened soda can
Knowing its true love when the tiny details about another person, the ones that seem insignificant to most people, seem incredible and magnificent to you
Remembering dreams
Sitting next to someone and not having to talk to fill awkward space because there isn’t any awkward space to fill
Kisses for no reason at all
When he makes me twirl like a circus girl
Perfume bottles
Chocolate dipped strawberries
British accents
Falling asleep and someone covers you up with a blanket
Looking at the little details
Catching snowflakes on your tongue
Eiffel tower pictures
Really soft oversized sweaters
Tiffany & Co.
The first bite on a piece of pizza (the pointy part)
Sparkly stars
Squishing sand between your toes
The crispy sugar layer of Crème Brulee
Uneven old fashioned glass windows
The clicky sound chalk makes when writing on a black board
The perfect pair of sunglasses
The smell of a newly sharpened PENCIL
Living beautifully
Bold glasses
Walking in a museum and getting lost in your thoughts
Opening up a brand new box of crayons
Finding highlights in an old book
Looking at your best friend and knowing exactly what they are thinking
Wandering in libraries reading random books on far off topics
Modern Architecture
Cobble stone streets
Snuggles, nuzzles, and burrows
Lush gardens
Deep conversations
Giving people random nicknames
Feathers and 500 thread count
Listening to Christmas music throughout the year
Taking that most perfect candid picture
Cottages with wild flowers in the garden
Having two different colored eyes
Black and white stripes
The crunch of rocks under your feet while walking
Two straws in a drink
Inspiring music
When he makes my heart go boom boom
Looking past the junk and finding the prettiness behind things
SERENDIPITY (my most favorite word)
How the rainbows of disco balls dance off the walls
Fresh paint
People who honestly love you for you
Seeing an elderly couple holding hands
Flowy dresses that billow in the wind
Imaginary friends when you are little
Seeing old friends and acting as though you havent spent a day apart
Organization with just a hint of chaos
LOYALTY
Full kissy kinda lips
A hand written letter on pretty paper
The perfect pair of jeans that fit your butt so perfectly
The Office
The sound of his deep voice
The smell of wet cement during a rainy day
The sound of clacky high heels on a tiled floor
Girly ruffles
Flowers (nobody can ever be uncheered by a flower)
Big windows that let in the natural light
Putting a pin down on a map of places you will visit
The smell newborn babies have
Seinfeld
Having the exact amount of change when buying something
Real wood floors
Soft pillows
Ridiculously curly hair
Muscley man arms
A good book & time to read it
Crowns
That perfect Little Black Dress
Soft kisses
Spooning
Fireworks that crackle and sparkle like crazy
Unexpected generosity
Number 14 and 2
Beautiful clothes
Mist
My glass fish
Wishes that actually come true
Birthday candles
My iMac
Fluffy clouds
The crackly sound an old book makes when it’s opened
When other drivers smile at you for no particular reason at all
Going to bed with a dream and waking up with a purpose
Creating something new
Rummaging through my dad’s old boxes
Squishing Silly Putty
Hugs from behind
The cool side of the pillow
Making up your own lyrics to songs because you have no idea what the singer is actually saying
Guys holding babies or playing with little kids
Originality
My dad’s postcards
People with no awareness of PDA and you go out of your way to let them know you are right there just watching them
Making funny faces on rides that take your picture
Being able to “fly” when you are underwater
Finding the perfect name for a inanimate object
Multiple visits to Disneyland
When he makes my dopamine levels go all silly
Being able to take care of someone when they really need you
Falling asleep and someone covers you up with a blanket
Watching peoples head's bob when they fall asleep in class
Laughing so hard you snort and then laughing harder till your face cheeks hurt….not those other cheeks..
Exposed brick on interior walls
Fluffy 80s hair
Being told you look "beautiful" "amazing" "gorgeous"
When someone has the job of “Official Spider Smoosher”
Cereal talks with mom in the middle of the night
Listening to a heartbeat
Desperately needing a bobby pin or gum and finding one in a random place
Fortunes in a fortune cookie
Mix matched sheets
When the characters meant for each other on your favorite show FINALLY hook up (Pam + Jim)
Flowers that show up on your doorstep
Surprise notes left on your car and in your lunch bag
Waking up to find that its snowing
Being right on time for something
Reading books you loved when you were little
When your head fits perfectly in that amazing nook between his shoulder and neck
When friends are patient with you and your weaknesses
Catching cheese puffs in your mouth
Roasting marshmallows
The slow drips coming off umbrellas
Feeling the cool water rush past your face when swimming
Charcoaly fingers after drawing
Finding excitement in the mundane
Real smiles from people
Celebrating your Unbirthday
When people are not afraid to wear clothes that truly express who they are
Movie marathons
Fashion and the creativity it offers
Seeming a dream but proving real.
Diving into the unknown
Trying on 20 different perfume samples at once
Alice in Wonderland
Quotes (I LIVE for quotes)
Simplicity, timeless elegance, and the perfection of imperfection.
Listening to Frank Sinatra when missing my dad
When he makes all my saved up wishes come out
Loving puppies and bunnies but thinking zombies are cool, too
Having a torrid affair with my new Nikon camera
Being inspired by things that are not always considered fashionable
Not having a favorite color because it changes everyday
Cracking your knuckles
Slight scruff on a man
Vintage ribbons
Squirting your shampoo bottle and a thousand little bubbles explode out of it
Great Danes (I will own one some day)
Willy Wonka’s nonsense
