100 Happy Days | Days 44 - 52

Hey y’all!

If this were real life, I’d give all of y’all a giant hug because I miss you and blogging like crazy. Now
that AP testing is over (text does not convey how happy I am!), I’m back. Just like Arnold Schwarzenegger said he would be. (Sidenote: If you can spell that name without looking it up, I applaud you). I promise this won’t be the only type of post I have coming up for the next few weeks, but I think it's high time for a life update, don't you? 

Day 44 (5/5): This was my friend Divya’s birthday. I think the caption I originally had on Instagram says it all: “The picture is terrible, but that just means it’s inversely correlated to our relationship. Happy Birthday to the most inspiring and motivating person I know. Love you Divs, and thanks for everything!”

Day 45 (5/6): AP Hell Week had begun, and stress levels were the highest they had ever been. Naturally, I made some notes for my friends to diffuse said stress.

Day 46 (5/7): I am the proud owner of Crocs. For the record, I call them my shame shoes. They’re just so comfortable!

Day 47 (5/8): My glasses came in! I wear night contacts, but sometimes I don’t get enough sleep for my vision to be 100%, so these are really handy for those days. Clearly, this merited a selfie.

Day 48 (5/9): I saw this on Pinterest and just love it! (jk I was hella strugglin’ with something to post because I technically posted this a day late and I just could not.) On another note, AP testing has rendered my ability to speak proper English nonexistent, and I now only know how to speak teenage girl. #icanteven #literally

Day 49 (5/10): If you’re ever in the Bay Area and want REALLY good Mediterranean food, check out Dish Dash in Sunnyvale. The food is amazing, and lasts for a couple of meals.

Day 50 (5/11): Mothers’ Day! I posted a picture from the day I was born, because I gave my mom the gift (and sometimes curse- I’m a teenage girl ok) of being my mom. Don’t worry, I’m not a brat. I also made her a card and breakfast. P.S. Isn’t she beautiful?

Day 51 (5/12): Do I need a reason to post a puppy portrait? Bella is just SO cute!

Day 52 (5/13): Okay, so this one’s a little hard to see, but here’s the premise: Today I surprised six of my favorite people with homemade cookies in the cutest little bags, and their reactions were absolutely priceless. From "Yo I'm gonna have this bag back to you by the end of the day," to "You complete me." to "Can I hire you to be my personal chef?" Lesson learned: People like happy surprises, and random acts of kindness are the best kinds of kindness. 

So, that's what's been going on in my life. How about you? Don't forget to follow along on Instagram for daily #100happydays updates!

100 Happy Days | Days 37 - 43

Hey y'all! This time 8 days from now, I will be DONE with AP tests and back to a regular posting schedule- so close, yet so far. But until then, please bear with me.
Confession: I didn't expect the crazy drop in traffic/comments and it made me really sad until I realized it's my fault for not posting as much. Also, I have such exciting posts coming up- you just wait!

Day 37 (4/28): So I've been hearing SO many good things about this gelato, and I finally decided to try it! To be honest, I think the packaging is better than the gelato. It's so cute!

 Day 38 (4/29): Marla is my favorite person ever.  This pretty little package could not have come at a better time- in the middle of a week of finals, SATs, and AP tests, this was such a happy surprise. Plus, she painted that flower-how great is she?

Day 39 (4/30): Last week was HOTHOTHOT in the Bay! It was 95 degrees on Wednesday and froyo with loads of fruit was the perfect way to cool off! My favorite flavors at Yogurtland are Red Velvet Cake Batter and Salted Caramel Pecan. The sweetness of those with the tart pineapple was so refreshing!

Day 40 (5/1): Friends. Dresses. Leadership. What's not to love? 

Day 41 (5/2): It's not often one comes across actual unintentional twinning, and that it's to such a degree. But who would've thought- mint dresses, belts, black cardigans, black shoes. Oh, and it's actually not the first time this has happened with Sonia!

Double post and subtle (not anymore LOL) promo for the 2016 Mother's Day Card Fundraiser! 

Day 42 (5/3): How pretty is this hibiscus? It makes me feel like I should be in Jamaica relaxing (but then reality hits LOL).

Day 43 (5/4): According to my phone, my skin tone is "oompa-loompa orange" so excuse the heavy filter I put on this. But last week was Random Acts of Kindness week at school, and this day was balloon day. Essentially, every balloon had a mission for you to complete, and once you finished, you got to hand it off to someone else. My favorite one was "find Hima and hug her!"

That's all for this week y'all. Wish me good luck on AP tests, and I'll see you on the other side! Don't forget to tell me your fave froyo flavor in the comments below.

xo, Hima
