monday morning smiles

I'm the first to admit that Monday mornings are a struggle no matter how much sleep you get over the weekend. So I have five things that I do every week to get the week off to a good start. First, I take a shower. No brainer right? Well I think its vital. Second, blast some popular music during my morning routine to get the juices flowing. Third, get dressed. Usually something girly, always something different. Fourth, caffeinate. A large cup goes a long way. My favorite is a Marbled Mocha Macchiato from Starbucks, but a good old cappuccino always does the trick too. Fifth, peruse Pinterest. Whether its for five minutes or an hour, it has to happen. I pin everything from clothes, to motivational quotes, to cute puppies. Basically anything that makes me smile at that given moment. Below are some of the things that have made me smile on Monday mornings as of late. Hope you enjoy!
