Motivation Monday : Stuff That’s Making Me Happy

in Inspiration on 13/07/15

Happy Collage

Before you open up your email, respond to that text message, or hop on social media, check out these links for some Monday morning motivation. They are the things that are bringing a smile to my face and placing laughter in my heart. These links remind me that the internet is not always a negative soul sucking space. I hope they do the same for you.

Did you know Country Hip Hop Dancing was a Thing?

With dance steps like vaudeville and window washer there are no words for the amount of laughter you’ll get from this epic old school dancing video. It’s all about that “cowboy hip hop”!

Adult Slushies via Cupcakes and Cashmere

These adult slushies are going to make the summer a lot more lively!  The recipe is so easy it’ll have you asking yourself why you didn’t think of it first

SomaBar

Advertised as “your own personal bartender” SomaBar is the first app controlled cocktail maker. Use it to mix cocktails and infuse bitters  to make the perfect drink in less than 5 minutes.

Inspirational Work Spaces

If I had a workspace like the one featured here on Daily Decor I know that sh*t would just get done! It’s perfectly girly without being annoying and is so organized it’ll make you want to do an overhaul on your nearest closet.

12 Delightful Drink Station Idea’s

I am in love with the “station” fad that’s been hitting the party circuit. I feel like it’s a really charming way of presenting food and drinks at a party while creating an interactive atmosphere where guests can mingle and not feel tied to any particular menu option. Sure it’s just a buffet, but adding some balloons, chalkboard menus and confetti just takes it to another level!

Serena Williams Wimbledon Champions Dinner Ensemble

The loveliness that was the gown that Serena Williams wore to the Wimbledon Champions Dinner is almost too much to take! The crystal bodice, the flowing train, her beautiful understated makeup! It’s glam from head to toe! Congrats to her on her 6th Wimbledon title!

4 Words CHURRO ICE CREAM SANDWICHES! 

For the love of God why is there yet another thing I have to put on my “may cause a heart attack but it may be worth it” list!

Which Iconic Actress Are You?

Maybe it’s the fact that I got Audrey Hepburn that’s making me particularly happy, or maybe it’s because I like playing time-wasting games on the internet. Who knows, but this “which iconic actress are you” quiz is giving me life and making me go through all of my old school movie catalog on Netflix.

I hope these links make you as happy as they make me! What are some things that are making you happy at the moment? I’d love to know in the comments below.

    Oh I absolutely love all of these. And what a great motivational post for a Monday! I’ve seen those Churro ice cream sandwiches, OMG!

  3. Christy Maurer says

    We could all use some happy Monday stuff!! I did not know there was such a thing as country hip hop dancing lol.

    Holy flashback. I remember the days when country hip hop was all the rage down here. Those were dark, dark days, indeed. We all looked so ridiculous!

  5. Megan Elford says

    July 13, 2015 at 11:58 am

    Country hip hop? I have never heard of that before! I’m sure it’s alot of fun to do, even if it looks a little … unique!

  6. jmanandmillerbug says

    July 13, 2015 at 12:54 pm

    I need a more inspirational work space! We’re moving and I’ll have my own office so I’ll be looking into some of these ideas! And that video cracks me up!

  7. Mistee Dawn says

    July 13, 2015 at 5:27 pm

    These are such great choices! I used to line dance with my Mom years ago. And that is a super fun quiz too! Thanks for sharing.

    I’m loving the adult slushy ideas. Those could be awesome for girls night. This is a great list.

    Adult slushies sound awesome especially in the summer! And as much as I like country music, I’ve never seen country hip hop dancing!

  10. Kisa Johnson says

    July 13, 2015 at 8:38 pm

    I need to actually think of stuff that makes me happy. It’d give me things to remember when I am feeling at my absolute lowest, and as someone with depression that’s sadly too often!

  11. Ricci says

    July 13, 2015 at 9:25 pm

    These are great to get me going on this blah Monday! I especially love that video…HAHAHA!!

    A churro ice cream sandwich sounds so amazing right now! It has been SO hot lately!

  13. ascendingbutterfly says

    July 13, 2015 at 10:42 pm

    This is a TON of Monday awesomeness, they all brought me a smile, but that country hip hop video? PRICELESS – oh yeah! You put the smile in my Monday today! 🙂

  14. Mykidsguide says

    July 14, 2015 at 1:35 am

    This is the first time I heard about country hip hop,it’s interesting. I want some Churro ice cream sandwiches!

    July 14, 2015 at 1:47 am

    What a great post that brightened my day! I loved the video and was the motivation I need on this Tuesday! Thank you!

  16. AnneMarie Leblanc says

    Mommies do need time to unwind and just have some quiet times for themselves. What else would be better than to sit watching the sunset with an adult slushie. (the lime tequila granita looks so refreshing!)

  17. Alli says

    July 14, 2015 at 4:13 am

    I’m still in awe that Serena won Wimbledon! She’s amazing and still has it going on. That alone motivates my Monday and every day!

  18. Rosey says

    July 14, 2015 at 7:45 am

    A lively summer is a happy summer. 🙂 You’ve got a fun list.

  19. Jeanine says

    July 14, 2015 at 9:40 am

    Great list. That video was fabulous and just what I needed today! Gets me in the mood for summer which today feels like Fall.

  20. Lynndee says

    July 14, 2015 at 10:28 am

    At the moment, I am drinking my coffee and it’s making me happy. Also, while doing so, I am listening to a soothing music that my son is listening to on the iPad. He’s got such good taste when it comes to music. 🙂

  21. Michelle Varga (@dustbunniesblog) says

    July 14, 2015 at 10:41 am

    This is a great post for motivational Monday! That country hip-hop dance video is especially entertaining!

  22. Lauren says

    July 14, 2015 at 1:01 pm

    Cowboy hip hop is probably one of the best things I’ve ever seen!! I had a good laugh! Thanks for sharing!

  23. The Trophy WifeStyle says

    July 14, 2015 at 2:12 pm

    OMG adult Slushies are the best!!!! I make them all the time when we have guest over to swim. Always a hit!

  24. Erin (@SugarCrumbs) says

    July 14, 2015 at 3:00 pm

    Adult slushies! LOL, I dont know why but that makes me laugh. What a happy post!

  25. R U S S says

    July 14, 2015 at 4:37 pm

    There’s nothing like an organized, pretty girlie workspace that can help get those creative juices flowing. I am inspired to make one for my flat. It would prolly make me want to go home early each time.

  26. Ann Bacciaglia says

    July 14, 2015 at 6:31 pm

    I mam going to try the adult slushies. They are perfect for the hot weather.

  27. upliftingfam says

    July 14, 2015 at 9:44 pm

    I guess I’m a bit sheltered, I have not heard of county hip hop dancing either. But then again hanging out again the bar isn’t exactly my isn’t idea of fun.

  28. Natasha In Oz says

    July 15, 2015 at 12:07 am

    I’m a bit late for a Monday Motivation but I’m loving your post on a Wednesday! Thanks for sharing.

    Best wishes,
