    100 Things That Make Me Happy

    January 19, 2017 · Life ·  

    Let’s be real. It can be HARD to not get caught up in the daily stress of our lives. Traffic sucks, bills are a real thing, and you can only ignore that overflowing laundry hamper so long before you run out of clean underwear.

    Even still, there are an abundance of wonderful things to be excited about in life. Embracing more of these daily can be transformative in cultivating more joy. The focus on recognizing and gathering up all the small yet delightful bits of happiness does not erase the hard parts. However, it does go a long way in elevating your mindset.

    So I created a list (yeah, I love them) of 100 things that put a smile on my face and make my soul happy.

     

    What are a few things that make you happy?

    Hi, I’m Lissette.

    I make things and document my journey as a blooming creative through doodles and doses of inspiration. I love new art supplies, independent book stores, and discovering new bakeries.

    Oh hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ Long time no post. Life be Oh hi 🙋🏽‍♀️ Long time no post. Life behind the scenes has been chaotic in the most unexpected ways which I do plan to open up about eventually as I’m sure many can relate and share advice/experiences. ⁠

But on to some fun stuff. I did some mini paintings of bakeshop treats after spending a week in Houston eating all the things and visiting my favorite bakeries in the city. Huge fan of a pistachio croissant from Common Bond Bakery if you are ever in the area. 🥐 🧁 🥖 ⁠
⁠
What are your favorite bakery treats? 🧡

    I spent the weekend enjoying a peaceful solo retre I spent the weekend enjoying a peaceful solo retreat on the lake in the cutest tiny home. Not only was it fun to try out tiny home living for a few days but I found it so relaxing to look out to that lake view all day. I painted, read books, drank wine, and enjoyed some much needed me time. 🌟 💜⁠

    Happy Wednesday! I just wanted to pop on to share Happy Wednesday! I just wanted to pop on to share some sketchbook pages. I started a new sketchbook and decided to start with some #100dayswithsabina prompts. I don’t think I’ll probably do all 100 days but I’m enjoying all the prompts so far. 

Day 1: #cafe
Day 2: #yoga
Day 3: #ocean

My goal with this sketchbook is to work loosely in subjects I’m familiar with to see what else I can discover with them and spend more time practicing drawing people, faces, movement. 

Having a good time so far. Remember when I attempted a 365 day challenge 🙃 2020 was wild friends. 

Working on some new pieces and excited to share those soon too. Who wants to see some new art in my Etsy shop finally?

I wasn’t happy enough with the size and paper to list them in the shop but every order in my shop will include one as a freebie as a thank you and to share my love of reading! 

I am eagerly planning a literary themed collection and excited to share the process as well as a release date of new products soon. Let me know what products you would like to see more of this year - prints, postcards, stickers, bookmarks etc. Also let me know what you’re currently reading below!
