The After Effect
One of my favorite feelings in the entire world is “the after effect” of a long day at the beach. Coming home, showering, and throwing on a sundress is so simple in theory - but it seriously brings me so much joy I can’t explain it.
I noticed that I started wishing for that happy feeling in all times of the year. I kept wishing for summer to come to feel that. I then realized I was forgetting that there are other moments that happen year round that give a similar feeling!
So here’s a little comprehensive list I made of some happy moments that give the same energy as a beach “after effect:”
curling up under a big blanket to watch a movie after a long day
having the perfect cup of the coffee in the morning
laughing so hard it hurts
playing music while cooking/cleaning
hearing your favorite song playing at the bar with your friends
when an animal curls up next to you
seeing the first snowfall of the year
biting into a warm cookie
making people laugh
hugging someone you missed
Just some cutie little moments to remember in any time of the year - because why not :)
