Happiness

And the award goes to….

I have received a Happy Award from my wonderful blogger friend over at I Know, Right? Jennifer. She defines herself as fabulous and she truly is. I love her classy, fancy, yet approachable writing style. In her blog, Jennifer presents her perspectives on movies, fashion, and the events that form part of her day-to-day adventures. I encourage you to visit and start following Jennifer. You will not regret it. She is an amazing writer and a fabulous blogger friend.

As part of this award I have to list 10 things and 10 blogs that make me happy.

Ten things that make me happy:

1. My mom and dad, sister, cousins, aunts, grandma, and uncles, all, always make me smile in one way or another.

3. Reading a good journalistic article or essay on TIME or The New Yorker.  

4. A new song on my iPod.

5. Latin American literature.

6. Homemade meals.
