Sometimes in between the crazy hustle-and-bustle of everyday life, we forget to appreciate those small magical moments that truly bring us joy and happiness. These moments come in different ways, and always at unexpected times. Here are 10 of life's smallest, yet most beautiful, moments we experience here on planet Earth.


1. Smiling at a child you see in public

Even though you've never met them, their innocence and pure joy brings you happiness just by observing them.

2. Being lazy on a rainy day

Some days are just meant to be lived under a pile of cozy blankets in your most comfortable clothing.

3. Realizing you have a whole hour until you have to get up

Waking up before your alarm goes off only to discover you have one more whole hour of blissful sleep ahead of you, is truly one of the most satisfying feelings in the world.

4. When you receive a genuine smile from a stranger

Human kindness is truly a powerful phenomena.

5. A familiar smell from your childhood

These random waves of familiarness always come at the most random times, but bring back memories from your childhood.

6. Snuggling up to a pile of warm, freshly cleaned clothes

This is the equivalent of 1,000 hugs taking place at the same time.

7. Reading an amazing book

Sometimes escaping to a different world is exactly what you need (even if that world is fictional).

8. Cooking something that actually turns out perfectly

Cooking your own food that tastes amazing and fresh is truly rewarding.

9. Enjoying nature and being outside

Truly appreciating nature gives us a sense of tranquility and relaxation.

10. Finding an item of clothing that was destined to be yours

Sometimes, you try something on and automatically know it was meant to be. It's a great confidence boost and makes you feel and look your best.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
