Just Jolie’s 3 Year Anniversary!

3 YEARS? My blog is now the age of a small infant; that genuinely blows my little mind! I simply wanted to pop in and just thank anyone (mainly friends and family) who have followed from the beginning, anyone who have popped in and out along the way; any support is and will always be so greatly appreciated.

It warms my heart that even one person would take time out of their day to read my musings, watch my videos, absorb my reviews and go out and buy products because of little old me. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! Here is to many more years to come of mindless word spews from my extremely weird brain.

My Happy Place – My Bed.

Happiness. It’s something that can’t be held, it’s hard to describe in just one sentence, it’s the feeling that one strives for. We all get happiness from different things, people and places. I’m made happy by the smallest things; peeling a satsuma in one peel, when you get the beat drop of a song correct, getting more than two retweets. All these things make me happy, and they make me twice as happy when I can partake in these activities in my happy place – my bed.

You can be the most adventurous person in the entire world, and your bed will still fill you with joy at the end of a long day. It is one equilibrium in all of our lives, one place that is ours. It’s ours to share with who we treasure the most, or keep for ourselves to indulge in the warm comfort of home. It’s ours to keep for strictly sleeping in the dead of night, or to hibernate in for days upon end, morphing into a multifunctional den with food, entertainment and comfort at our fingertips.

You bed is a constant within your life that you may well take for granted, but your bed has been there for you through thick and thin. From the time you got flu and were hauled up in bed for a week, to the time that boy royally screwed you over and you cried in bed for hours. What’s the constant? Bed.

So next time you get into your humble foundation in the form of your bed, snuggle in that little bit further and smile at the fact that nothing can change your happy place – your bed is here to stay.
