10 Reasons Why Life is Beautiful on the Average Day

Sometimes it’s so easy to lose sight of the beauty of life.

In a digital world, we become easily distracted by everyday events and forget to appreciate the little things.

That’s why we need to try harder to gain perspective and remember what’s really important, whether we’re going through a rough time or just struggling to maintain our constantly-busy schedules.

Here’s your friendly reminder that life is supposed to be enjoyable.

Sure, it has its challenges, but it’s not meant to be straight-forward. You’ve got to go through the downs to truly appreciate the ups.

Essentially, you’ve got to grab life with both hands because it won’t be long before it’s gone.

Struggling to see the positive in a negative situation? Not to worry, I’m here to help you. Read on 10 reasons why life is beautiful on an average day.

10 Reasons Why Life is Beautiful on the Average Day

1. You’re Physically Well

Reasons why life is beautiful 101: you wake up on an average day and, besides needing coffee to get you going, you feel good.

You’re likely to be well-rested after having a great night’s sleep, and your health is on top form. Aren’t you a lucky one?

After all, there are tons of people around the globe who have chronic illnesses, disabilities and mental health problems that affect their ability to live a normal life.

Therefore, it’s important to never take your physical or mental health for granted.

2. There’s a Whole World Out There to Explore

Whether you’re only just starting to explore the world or you’ve got the travel bug pretty bad (it me), it’s easy to forget that there’s a whole world out there. A world outside your four walls, your hometown and everything and everyone that you know. Embrace it.

There’s nothing like travelling to broaden the mind and make you feel grateful for the things you’ve already got at home.

Because of this, you should expand your horizons and travel near and far as much as possible.

“I really regret all that travelling I did,” said no one ever.

3. You Have a Great Support System

One of the very best reasons why life is beautiful? Your support system.

Whether you’ve only got a handful of people you can count on or your popularity is ever-growing, you’re so lucky to have people in your life who love you.

And not just love you, for that matter, but love you fiercely.

Make sure you tell your support system regularly how much you appreciate them because why not? They should be told. Everyday. Before it’s too late.

4. You’ve Experienced Love

If you’re over the age of 14/15/16 (?), you’ve probably already experienced love.

And I’m not just talking about the kind of love you have for your family and friends. I’m talking about that wild, passionate irrevocable love you have for your other half (or romantic partners in the past if you’re currently single).

In fact, even if you haven’t yet experience that head-over-heels, can’t-live-without-them, I’d-die-for-them passionate kind of love – I bet you’ve still had a taste of it.

And ain’t it grand? There’s nothing else in this world like it.

Reasons Why Life is Beautiful

5. There’s Beauty All Around You

When it comes to reasons why life is beautiful, all you have to do is take a good, hard look around you. A lot of people get so used to their day-to-day surroundings that the novelty of the place that they live in soon wears off.

Why? Well, we become too distracted by working Monday-Friday and only having weekends off to catch up on life.

The truth is: if you actively start to look for beauty around you, then you will find it. And this gratitude for the little things makes life wonderful.

6. You Have Passions

Living on this gorgeous earth as long as you have, you’re bound to have become passionate about something (or things). And you probably love to consume yourself with these things on a regular basis.

(Personally, mine are writing, blogging and binge-watching shows on Netflix.)

My point is: if you spend your time doing the things that you enjoy and revel in your passions, you will appreciate life just that little bit more.

And don’t forget to find new passions as you evolve as a person, because why not? Variety is the spice of life, after all.

Reasons Why Life is Beautiful

7. You Have a Purpose

Other reasons why life is beautiful: you earn money, you make a living (or if you don’t yet then you will do one day) and you contribute to the economy.

Hopefully by doing this, you’re building a career you love and perhaps encompasses some of your greatest passions? If not, then why are you working in a job that makes you miserable?

Newsflash: only you have the ability to change a situation that’s unfulfilling. Therefore, get out of any job that makes you feel worthless and, instead, pursue something else you actively enjoy.

Life is too short to be anything short of happy.

8. There’s So Much to Look Forward To

Whether you’re in your teens and you’ve still got all your university years ahead of you or you’re middle-aged and yet to start a family, there are always things to look forward to in life.

Sometimes they’re only little things, like visiting your Grandma tomorrow evening and having a portion of her famous beef stew, or catching up on the latest episode of Game of Thrones you missed on TV the other night.

But still, there are always things to look forward to, whether big or small. And they make life worth living.

9. You’ve Made Some Incredible Memories Thus Far

One of my favourite reasons why life is beautiful? The memories you’ve already made.

Sure, you’re only supposed to look forward in life. But you can also look back, especially if you’re reminiscing happy memories.

The chances are, you’ve lived through some pretty amazing things already.

And if there are all those great experiences behind you, can you imagine what’s to come?

Well, I’ll tell you – even more good times! Hurrah.

Mental Health

10. You Get to Live Another Day

Every day you should wake up feeling thankful that you’re still alive.

You’re still here, living on this awe-inspiring planet and you’ve been given another opportunity to live life up to the max.

So, make sure that you make the most of every second. Because life is precious and we’ve only got one shot at this.

Embrace the Reasons Why Life is Beautiful

Even though it’s easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and often overlook the many reasons why life is beautiful, try to be more mindful going forward.

And remember: everybody has their daily struggles, but you can’t control anything negative that happens to you. You can only control how you react to it.

Let’s live every day to the fullest while we can.

This is basically the 2022 version of “jeans and a nice top” — comfortable and practical for a long day/evening out but still contemporary and stylish.
I went for a soft colour palette for Saturday’s brunch in York because I thought it would look fresher for the summer season. 👀 
I also usually add a light jacket to tackle the pesky British elements but I didn’t need one last weekend. 🥵
The gorgeous mint green satin shirt is from @zara and my straight-leg jeans are @topshop (old), adding some nineties nostalgia to the mix.

Seeing all these news headlines about airport queu Seeing all these news headlines about airport queues is so frustrating. 😖
A trip abroad starts at the airport, and it breaks my heart that people who haven’t been able to travel or go on holiday for years and have worked so hard to save up are now experiencing delays and cancellations when it’s finally time for their trip to begin.
Speaking from experience, these queues stress you out before you’ve even got to your final destination. ✈️
I’ve flown from Leeds Bradford airport three times in the last nine months and Manchester airport once in the last few weeks. Each trip to the airport has taught me something different.
That said, I wanted to share a few things you can do to speed up your time at the airport so that you can make your flight and have the much-needed holiday you deserve. 🤗
Above all, follow your specific airline or airport recommendations. (These usually come in the form of an email or text message a couple of days before your flight.)

Hope this helps. 💕

Courtyard strollin’… (Looking for my next cup Courtyard strollin’…
(Looking for my next cup of coffee or glass of sangria — it all depends on the time of day!) 😉☕️🍹
This cute courtyard was in the middle of Palma city. The architecture and restaurants huddled in the square with al fresco drinking and dining instantly transported me back to Italy.
It reminded me of past cruise ship holidays with my parents where we visited the likes of Naples, Capri, Rome, Florence and Pisa and we would be in awe of the charm and beauty of these places.
But this post is about Palma in Majorca. 🇪🇸
Palma itself is a delight!
There’s so much going on in the centre, so much life and hustle and bustle, which is refreshing to experience after over two years of lockdowns and travel restrictions. 😅
I enjoyed our leisurely peruse of the city, soaking up the sun and seeing historic sights such as The Cathedral of Santa Maria, which dates back to 1601.
We even spent some time getting lost amongst the cobbled backstreets, popping in and out of shops before we regained our bearings once again. 😍
Our day in Palma reminded me how much I love exploring and how much travelling makes me feel fulfilled.
You just can’t beat it, right? ❤️
I already can’t wait for my next European city break (which hasn’t even been booked yet!).

One of my all-time favourite travel fashion pieces is the blue denim “mom-style” shorts.
You know, the relaxed-fit and high-waisted type that go with just about anything? 😉
You can pair them with a strappy top and sandals or flip flops for those warm summer days.
Or you can take them from day to night by swapping the strappy top for a chic blouse or cropped shirt and the flat sandals or flip flops for heels.
They’re just so comfy and cute! J’adore. ❤️
These ones are from @marksandspencerfashionpr which I’ll link via the @shop.LTK app along with some similar options.

You know, when you land after a few days in the sun and you feel refreshed, recharged and ready to take on the world again. 🙌🏻
And it helps if you travel in comfy clothes.
Plane, train and bus rides can be time-consuming (and stressful when things go wrong) so comfy travel gear makes the journey that little bit more bearable. ✈️ 
I’m currently loving lounge sets to travel in, such as this “Bon Voyage” lemon number from @lornaluxe x @inthestyle . 🍋
You can still get your hands on the shorts but, unfortunately, the sweatshirt is out of stock.

I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶 Okay so I uni I’m blue da ba dee da ba di. 🎶
Okay so I unintentionally wore blue, white and black all weekend.
Outfit one was for a Betty’s brunch for the hubby’s birthday and exploring Thirsk. 👀
The blue denim dress and checked shacket combo felt a bit sixties inspired and sassy teamed with black tights and white boots.
Then outfit two was for a pub lunch and drinks with the family (hubby’s birthday celebrations part two).
I went for a blue floral top, comfy black jeggings, a blue denim shearling jacket and those white boots again. 👢
This felt more seventies rocker vibes so naturally I had to wear it with attitude!
Which outfit is your fave? Details below. ✌🏻
