I LOVE the colors used in this house... so inspiring.
Who's excited for the newest Pirates movie, On Stranger Tides? I know a lot of people were disappointed with the past sequels. (I have mixed feelings about them, but still find them highly entertaining. ♥) Hopefully this one turns things around. It comes out May 20th!
Now that the semester is over, I'm able to focus on reading for fun. Reading was one of my favorite childhood activities; I want to get back to that "place." Lately I've been reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. This #1 New York Times bestseller is basically an autobiography/self-improvement hybrid. One reason it's been so successful: Rubin's writing doesn't give off the kind of holier-than-thou tone found in other self-help books. Her goals feel attainable. The personal accounts she gives are relatable, in an emotional, if not situational, sense. Plus, I enjoyed all the psychology facts she scattered throughout the chapters. Reading this was like having a review session of my previous psych classes, especially my class on motivation.
I'm almost finished with the book, and I'm motivated to start my own happiness project. Thankfully she has a website just for that, with plenty of tools to assist me in the process. I also recommend stopping by her general website/blog.
