This week I was stuck at home because hubby had to travel an hour away everyday all day for a week-long therapy and we only have one car. So my week was pretty uneventful but I still managed to find some small pleasures:
1. I wasn’t able to go to my crossfit classes and I felt like I had to do something. I came across a 30min morning pilates routine video which turned out to be perfect for the start of the day. It gives you a good stretch and gets your circulation going, there is also a bit of core strengthening. I actually stuck to doing it every morning for 6 days in a row so far. I enjoyed the fact that you don’t need any equipment and it is not high intensity, perfect for getting right into it after getting out of bed and starting the day energized.
2. This video made me smile all the way, that was a good 13 minutes of happiness!
4. I got excited when I learn about the production and kickstarter of this movie. I truly believe that many of today’s health, mental and neurological problems are caused by the diet in the recent decades, especially true in the US, and I’d love this guy to get that info out with this documentary.
3. I found an amazing online market where you can get the best non-gmo, organic and specific diet (paleo, vegan, gluten free etc) products at the best prices! Truly all products are 25-50% discounted from retail prices. It’s like Whole Foods + Costco online. You can even get an extra 15% off on your first order.
5. Success at this week’s new kitchen experiments including: homemade paleo coconut cereal, paleo banana muffins, black bean and quinoa burgers, homemade guacamole and homemade hummus. Okay the last two I’ve made before. The first two I’m planning on sharing the recipes.

Weekly Small Pleasures – Blog Event
Share your happiness!
I find that the small things that make us happy every day are easily forgotten.
This blog event is simply about remembering and sharing those small things that made you happy during the week; things that made you smile, made you laugh, made you do a happy dance, made your heart smile…
You can share in any format you like. For people to find your post, tag your post “Weekly Small Pleasures” and link to my most recent post for a pingback! You can also just share in the comments.

Your kitchen experiments sound fantastic.
Hopefully I can share some new recipes soon 🙂
Now this is a sincere blogging event. A great way to contemplate our gratitude. I’m excited about it, and I haven’t even participated yet 😛
People have fun with it. It’s interesting and nice to see all the different ways people find happiness in their daily lives. I’ll be looking forward to your participation! 🙂
I see what you mean! And I’ve only brushed the surface of this event
I’ll look forward to the quinoa burgers! Enjoy your week to come 😊
I didn’t document/photograph that recipe, next time I make them I will 🙂 Have a great week as well.
Good work to stick to the pilates all week. Such a great way to start the day! Hope the therapy is beneficial for your husband,
Thanks! I was surprised I stuck with it for 6 days. He said it was like 20% beneficial, and he means that in a good way. We still have work to do though.
Just linked my post to yours – this is the first time I participate and I enjoyed collecting small pleasures this week 🙂
Wonderful! I just added your link to my post. 🙂
Thank you :))
