Bubbles!

What made me happy today? Bubbles!
We're having a bank holiday today, it's Armistice day. It's cold outside, and I didn't want to go outside. So I figured this was the ideal day to get some chores done.
And to pamper myself! Time for a long bath with bubbles and a book, a scrub, face mask and all that pampering beauty stuff you can do at home. This is one of my favorite ways to recharge my batteries!
What's your favorite way to pamper yourself or spend a day off?

OMGBBQ

What made me happy today? OMGBBQ!
As in 'last minute invitation to go to a BBQ :-) Great way to celebrate the fact that tomorrow is a Bank holiday! It was fun, but I called it a night rather early. I've been up since 5 this morning...
Good night all!

Surprise!

What made me happy today? I don't have to work tomorrow!
Turns out tomorrow is a bank holiday for my company. I didn't know, and only found out about it 20 minutes before going home. Nice surprise!
And I've had a great evening too, went for a walk and ice cream with my BF. And the weather was very nice :-)

Bank holiday

What made me happy today? Having a perfect day off!
Today's a Bank holiday in Belgium, which means no work! Having a day off during the week is always nice, but it's even nicer when you can have fun :-)
Last night I went to the BF, who cooked dinner for me. Nothing fancy, but still very tasty pasta with cheese sauce. After that we watched Laputa: castle in the sky, another must-see anime movie from Studio Ghibli. This 1986 movie is directed by Hayao Miyazaki, who made a ton of amazing anime and manga.
I woke up pretty early this morning, I'm not always a great sleeper and decided to finally start reading Philip K. Dick's 'the man in the high castle'. It's a shame I never got around to reading this sooner, as this 1962 book is a classic. It portrays a world in which Germany defeated Russia and Japan defeated the USA in the second World War. I got half-way through before it was time to get some chores done. Ah, the joys of adult life ;-)
And to finish off this day I'm going to have my new favorite food for dinner, followed by some episodes of Castle.
Hope your day was as great as mine!
