Exactly one week ago I set up an Instagram account for my blog (and myself), and not long after that I came across the 100 Happy Days Challenge. The name gives most of it away, really, but the goal for this challenge is to make (and post) one photo a day of something that makes you happy on that day, for 100 days straight. I thought it would be a really nice way to become more aware of the little things in life, and according to the website it’s also a way to become more optimistic. Plus, at the end of those 100 days you have a wonderful collection of happy pictures!

So, on Monday I signed up for the challenge and I’ve posted a picture on Instagram every day since then. I’ve also decided to post a weekly round up of my happy pictures here on my blog every Saturday.

Here are the first six pictures, with the captions posted underneath!

Day 1: Lots of green and cute little flowers in the alleyway behind my house after a rainy day.

Day 2: This pizza is making me VERY happy right about now!

Day 3: Leftover carrot cake for breakfast because why not? The grapes are there to pretend this is healthy.

Day 4: The sun is out again, finally!

Day 5: Fresh strawberries!

Day 6: Did a bit of a cookie experiment today including hazelnuts and coconut and they turned out sooo good! Blogpost will be up tomorrow!

That was my first week of happy moments. I hope you enjoyed this post, and I recommend signing up for this challenge! It’s really a lot of fun. Tomorrow I’ll be back again already with the recipe for the hazelnut coconut cookies I made today.
