Hapiness is...
Going inside a bakery and inhaling that delicious newly fresh-from-the-oven baked-goods aroma. I always say that bread and cakes are not just feast to the stomach but also feast to the eye as well as for the nose. With or without icing, a cake can always put a smile on a girl's face.
An another thing. Surrounded with so much delicious food always give me such a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. It's a feeling of abundance. It's like God's way of saying: "You are fine. I'm taking a good care of you. Look at all the bounty I've provided you through your fellow human. Just keep doing the work you have been doing, and I will take care of the rest. You are not in need of anything."
Sometimes I think it's silly. Sometimes, I think it's not.
I went to Bread Talk today and got a loaf of coffee bun for afternoon snack in the office, a cup of tiramisu for my husband, and two pieces of tuna croissants for our breakfast tomorrow. I don't cook, but no one can accuse me for not taking a good care of my husband, haha!
Do you think it's a pathetic thing or a great thing that such simple pleasure can give one such joy?

I love the mint and your bag is really cute! I also love the smell of fresh baked goods! I think it's a great thing to see pleasure in simple things! Personally, I think if one cannot then they're going to have a hard time with life =P
The bf and I often have arguments and disagreements on vacations a lot too. I think it's because of all the stress somethings so you're right, a relaxing honeymoon is probably a better idea, especially after all that wedding stress! I hope you get to go to Paris soon!
I adore your necklace! The color is great with your dress.

Hello,
I just found your blog on 'Visible Monday" and I like it very much. You have beautiful style and your posts are thoughtful. I am now following your blog!
I agree - being surrounded by delicious breads is a great pleasure! Your outfit is lovely, as are you - love your necklace.
Taking pleasure in small things is one of the sweetest parts of life!
Both looks are very polished, but I think I like the dress with the sweater best. And, yes, bringing home goodies from the bakery counts as taking good care of your husband.

Looks great! What a cheery combo for the office.
Simple pleasures - like fresh baked goodies or a great outfit - should definitely be enjoyed and never taken for granted.
I think it is wonderful to take such joy in the the simplest of pleasures!!
