34 Happiness notes

For the first time since we've been here, I actually worked in New York this week. Lucky for me, I was on a relatively low key project, which meant I could control my work hours and have beautifully well-balanced days. It gave me a new appreciation for my adopted city and how lovely life here can be. There's a few things that made me especially happy during the week...

... waking up in my own wonderfully comfortable and cozy bed every day 

... walking the streets, through parks and the high line each crisp and sunny morning

... seeing the spire of the empire state building out my window when I look up from my laptop

... cramming empty Diptyque candle glasses with the small, vibrantly purple buds of a native Australian flower, geraldton wax

... cheeky trips to Diptyque at lunch to replace my burnt-to-the-very-very-end Diptyque candles (shhh... don't tell lovely husband C.)

... the gorgeous soft, delicate rosy scent of my new Diptyque candle, Rosamundi, which smells like spring and sunshine

... having breakfast at Tiffany's (Audrey style) on my way to work yesterday morning, just because I could

I like that it's the small things that bring a smile to my face, it makes it much easier to be a happy person in general. Your turn lovelies - what's making you smile as you head into the weekend? 

From New York, with love xox
