There are certain life-changing moments that deserve to be celebrated. Graduating from college, receiving a job promotion, and getting engaged are all examples of huge life events that are worthy of big celebrations. In between these major occurrences, though, are thousands of smaller moments that can cause just as much joy. These everyday moments are often small ones, but they also make me think, “This is the absolute best moment of my life right now.” That is, until the next one comes along!

You know which moments I’m talking about. That moment when you wake up in the middle of the night, but upon glancing at your clock you realize that you have another three hours left to sleep. Or the moment when you turn on the television, and your favorite movie just happens to be playing. Perhaps the “best moment of your life” occurs when you realize that you have Chinese leftovers for lunch the day after you order takeout. As small as they may seem, when put together these small life moments can make a bad day instantly awesome. Check out my list of my most-loved life moments – I guarantee you’ll relate to at least one!

What is the “best moment of your life” that you experience every day?


Applying eyeliner correctly on the first try – For some reason, drawing a perfect line on my first attempt at eyeliner makes me feel like I’ve shaved minutes off my morning routine.


Being greeted by pets upon returning home – Out of all the people in my house, my dog is always the most excited to see me when I get home from work. It’s like I’m returning from a year abroad when I walk in the door.


When you put your iPod on shuffle, and every song is perfect – Although this rarely happens to me, it absolutely makes my day when it does. It’s almost as if my iPod knows what I’m feeling, and as a result I feel like my life soundtrack is blasting into my ears.


Putting your face against a fan on a super-hot day – Basically the most refreshing thing ever, for those who can’t just hop in a pool.


Getting super-comfortable and watching you favorite show – What better way to unwind after a long day at work?


The first taste of a morning iced coffee – It’s hot, it’s early, and you need to cool off and wake up before another day at work. Behold, iced coffee, the ultimate morning beverage during the summer months.


When you tell a joke in a meeting and everyone laughs – Whether you’re in a business meeting or hanging out with friends, it’s a great feeling when you tell a joke that the whole group finds funny. Personally, it makes me feel as though I’m the wittiest, most humorous person in the world (if only for a few minutes).


Looking great in a fabulous outfit – Confident girls are happy girls. Girls who wear outfits that make them feel fabulous are always confident girls. When I wear a favorite outfit, one that I know I look good in, my day instantly goes up a notch.
