I don’t know what it is, but I just love lists. Do you? I love these types of posts, so I thought why not throw one together to create a happier 2021 together.

This list was created with the intention that you could come back to refer to it when you’re bored, having a bad day, or going through a slump. Take a few that stand out to you now to put into your normal routine, and revisit when you need a little pick me up!
