five little things making me smile lately.

the creation of beauty is art. has always been focused on things that make the world beautiful. Some examples? Makeup, fashion, music, books, travel, movies, and self love. Though the world itself is not always beautiful, there is still so much to hold on to. That is why this post is dedicated to five little things that have been making me smile lately. These little things have made the last several weeks happier and more meaningful. Here is a closer look at the items on this list....

luck...or something from Hilary Duff. I have been a huge fan of Hilary Duff for many years. I have all of her albums, watch everything that she stars in, and have a habit of wearing my Stuff by Duff backpack to the airport whenever I travel. Her new album, luck...or something was released recently and I have purchased it in all formats. It started with a digital download with a bunch of extras. Then it was the CD version and vinyl version. I love the album so much and have been listening to it consistently since the release. My favourite songs are Future Tripping, The Optimist, and Roommates, but every single song is fantastic. Hilary Duff is touring this summer and I was able to buy two tickets for a nearby show. The tickets were extremely expensive, but I decided to skip other concerts this summer in order to see this one. I cannot wait to see Hilary Duff in concert.

Musicals, Games, Makeup, and Home Decor. Now for the four other things that have been making me smile lately. The first is actually the rug that was used as the background for these photos. My husband and I have been looking for little ways to spruce up our space. We found this beautiful rug for our living room and it really pulls everything together perfectly. It changed the space in such a positive way. I absolutely love it. The second item is a program from the musical, Some Like It Hot, which we went to see recently. It was phenomenal. The cast was excellent, the songs were wonderful, and the show managed to be both funny and heartfelt. I especially loved the themes of acceptance and self expression. The tap dancing was a highlight as well. The next item on this list is a game for the Nintendo Switch. It is The Elf on the Shelf Christmas Heroes game. Though it is probably intended for children, it is a bit of a challenge for me, because I am not the best at video games. It is a fun challenge though, and I love how magical it feels with all of the holiday backgrounds. The last item is a makeup product from Absolute New York. Around the holiday season, I purchased a little gift set with some items from the brand for an affordable price. Though there were a lot of really wonderful products included, it is the Cream Highlighter in the shade Champagne that has been making me smile most. It adds just the right amount of glow and pairs well with many different makeup looks. 

Whether it is makeup, music, home decor, a video game, or a live performance, there is always something to smile about.
