"You look BEAUTIFUL today!"

"I LOVE your shirt, where is it from?"

"You have such a PRETTY smile!"

Those are just some sayings that are proven to enhance your happiness. A compliment can change someone's mood completely! Something as simple as a smile can brighten someone's entire day. What better way to make someone smile than a compliment? They are free, kind, and can also make you feel better!

So I CHALLENGE YOU: this week give at least 5 compliments a day! Notice how warm it makes you feel inside and how nice it feels to see someone else smile because of something you said. Need an even bigger challenge? Give those compliments to random people whom you rarely or have never talked to!

I decided to give my compliments to people I have never and probably will never meet. The people behind the success, behind the screens, the people that don't even realize they bring millions of smiles to peoples faces every day! "Who?" you may ask. The hard workers that spend days working on providing you with your favorite ice cream, snack, hair product, clothing, and beyond!

Personally, the only time I ever reach out to a company is if my shipping is late or they got my order wrong... can you imagine reading complaint after complaint all day?! I promise that is NOT a mood enhancer. But having an email pop up that says THANK YOU! Now that, that will make someone's day!

MY PROJECT:

I emailed over 45 companies, here are some of my favorites:) Not only were they appreciative of some kind words but some even sent free products or handwritten thank you letters.

I received a Thank You email from all the companies expressing their gratitude for my gratitude! Although I couldn't see the smile on their faces, I could feel the happiness from their kind responses:)

Don't wait for happiness, go out and get it! Make someone's day with the littlest act of kindness!!! You can, and you will:)

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
