i found this list of “8 things every happy woman should have” while perusing cupcakes + cashmere and fell in love with writer patty barrett. her voice is genuine but not heavy-handed. her blog here!

my take on the eight.

1. a go to drink… ketel, rocks, lime. everyone knows this. everyone.
2. a go-to karaoke song… “say my name,” DC3. my girls and i killed this shit in college.
3. a uniform…. monochromatic- i live to wear one color. that or something impossibly small.
4. a hair stylist they love… i got a few good ones in all the big cities
5. an excercise routine… run to shape, yoga to breath, pilates to stretch
6. a hobby… her name is H.E.R.E.
7. a best friend… i have incredible people in my life- a middle school bestie, a college roommate, a soulmate best friend, a twin best friend, two work best friends, and a couple guy best friends. doesn’t hurt that i think of my family as my BFFs too.
8. a healthy sense of self… as i learn more about the intangible, i become more grounded. my faith, my spirituality, my beliefs- that is my everything.
