5 of Life’s Most Satisfying Moments
Lately, it feels like life is as hectic as ever. Balancing work, a husband and a social life can be a struggle. I barely have time to go to the gym let alone cook a healthy dinner for myself. But I still try and take a couple of minutes out of my busy day to appreciate the priceless and satisfying moments. Getting into a freshly made bed, watching my favorite show, and taking my dog for a walk are a couple of my favorites. Here are 5 small wins in my day-to-day life that I cherish most–
Getting into my PJs after a long day.
Who doesn’t love slipping into pajamas after a long day? My favorite pair has pineapples and flamingos on them—my best friend bought them for me. I love the feeling of soft flannel and finally being able to climb into bed.
Getting your 10th coffee for free (at your favourite coffee shop).
Most mornings I stop at my go-to coffee place right near my apartment. They have the best flat white lattes and a great rewards system. Since I go there so often, I get a free coffee twice a month–I’m probably their favourite customer.
Escaping the city for the long weekend.
Don’t get me wrong– I love being in the city and the fast-paced lifestyle. But sometimes I just need fresh air, green trees, and an open road. My family and I love going to visit my mom in the country for a few days. My dog loves running around the yard, and I can’t get enough of the “freshly cut grass” smell.
Getting a table at the local pub.
After a long work week, one of my guilty pleasures is a schooner of beer at my favourite pub near my office. It’s a great way for my husband and I to spend time together and start our weekend off right. But of course at 6:30PM on a Friday, it’s always super packed. Last week, my husband found a table—I swear it was a miracle.
That feeling of accomplishment of preparing a meal.
Cooking is not one of my strong suits, so when I see the HelloFresh box on my doorstep, I am instantly relieved. Each week, HelloFresh sends a box filled with fresh ingredients and easy-to-prepare meals. I don’t have to come up with a healthy recipe for dinner every night of the week and I actually get to improve my cooking skills. There’s nothing like that feeling of pride after successfully preparing a delicious meal all in 30 minutes or less!
With life moving so fast, it is important for us to take a moment out of our busy days and appreciate the small things life has to offer. With HelloFresh, we’re spending time together and eating quality food–definitely one of my favourite simple pleasures in life.
