15 Things To Brighten Your Day
Henderson Health Care

Everyone has bad days. Whether you failed a test or got into a fender bender, there might just be something you need to cheer up. Here's a small collection of cute and happy pictures to help brighten your day.

1. PUPPIES.

Just look at those faces and tell me you don't feel ten times better! Because in the words of Travis from The Choice, "there's nothin' cuter than puppies in a basket!"

2. Kids in Costumes

Because parents taking full advantage of their baby's cuteness and inability to fight what clothes they wear is too funny not to pass up.

3. A Pretty View

Hopefully this relaxes you and also makes you go to Pinterest and find an exact destination for your upcoming and much needed vacation.

4. A Funny Joke

OK, this may be more on the stupid side, but I'm sure it made you smile.

5. Good News

Somewhere, at some time today, a sweet little doggy got adopted and now has a loving home and family.

6. Someone's Face When They Get Scared

If these people's reaction to getting scared doesn't make you giggle, then you may have more compassion than most because that's plain funny.

7. A Good Memory

I wish I could tell you what your best memory is in order to cheer you up, but as soon as you saw this you thought of a memory didn't you? That's good. Just bask in that memory for a minute.

8. Something That Makes You Smile Even Though It's Stupid

Ridiculously stupid? I hope so!

9. A Sight for Sore Eyes

Hopefully the site of this amazing set up relaxes you. Maybe it also gives you inspiration to take a bubble bath yourself and relax.

10. More Sights for Sore Eyes

I mean come on. If The sight of a comfy bed, a fireplace and a dog don't put you at ease and brighten your day a bit then I don't know what will.

11. Something to Make You Relax

Ugh, just looking at that, I'm more calm.

12. A Reminder of Who Can Brighten Your Day

Just a list of some of the people that can help you smile when you are sad as well as the things you can do to get there.

13. An Inanimate Best Friend

Whatever your real best friend is that isn't human: chocolate, alcohol*, diamonds, go out and get some and make yourself happier. *Please drink responsibly

14. A Flashback to Your Childhood

A flashback to the easier days where you didn't have a care in the world can sometimes ease your hurt.

15. A Reminder

In case you needed to hear it: You Are Wonderful.

Hopefully these things brighten your day a little because you deserve to smile.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.
