Hey guys! How are you? For those of you that have exams I hope they're going well! (There is no smooth transition to the post I just wanted to give you all some support before we dove in) It was only last year when I fully started to appreciate jars. I know, bizarre isn't it. Jars. But they are so important, Think about it. We have three jars downstairs all containing tea bags- which reminds me I've still tried no new tea yet this year. One jar has normal tea, the other one has green tea which I force myself to drink because it's good for you, and one that is some form of lemon and something else tea bag. If we're being honest, I would gladly have more jars in the kitchen.
The big jar is from Ikea and the little one is from Wilkinosons |
My small one is a happiness jar. I'm not doing too good with this so far, I keep forgetting to put things in. I decided to do this because I thought it was a cute idea, and without getting too personal, I don't have the highest of hopes for this year (I wrote this post around February hence why I make it seem so early in the year, because it was) so I would like to keep some reminders of happy things that happened to me so I don't remember 2015 as all bad like what seems to be happening for 2014. In case you don't know how it works, when something good/happy happens to you on a day, you write it down on a little piece of paper- I personally like to decorate mine, sometimes I go crazy (woah calm down Libby) and use a pink pen to write in (getting mental)- and pop it in the jar. Then at the end of 2015, you read all the notes. This reminds me that I have some stuff to put in there, It doesn't matter how significant or small the thing is. Did it make you happy? Put it in there!
Love the idea of a happiness jar!

They're so great! I haven't put much in therey et but I know in summer there will be many things and I feel like its a good way to look over the past year because people don't always remember the good things but having a jar full of things that made you happy is a bunch of little reminders about the good things in life :)x
DeleteI have a very bad love affair with jars, I can't help myself but buy them whenever I see some in stores! I think it's such an nice thing, I love drinking in it! I also have a big jar in my room where I keep my saving in cash (to prevent the spending!!) and I tape a paper and I wrote Europe on it! so It feels good to drop money in that jar! I love your happiness jar!! I wanted to start one, I feel like it's too late now, but It's definitely something i'll do for the 2016!! xx

Thats such a good idea! I'm hoping when I get a job to do something like that and just slowly watching the jar fill up would be so rewarding. You should do it next year I feel like it must be so uplifiting to finally look back over and see all the things that made you happy over the year!:)x
DeleteThe happiness jar is such a good idea, I may have to start doing that! And the snow globe one with glitter and stars must look so pretty as well, I want to try that too!

I really want to try the snow globe thing, I'm hoping to find just a little jar (maybe I'll use an old jam jar) and try it out! I got into Pinterest recently and oh my god that has just opened up the doors to an everlasting list of creative things to do with jars!x
DeleteAw I did this last year! I failed at it and forgot to put in a note every day but I admire you having a go, let us know if you stick with it!

(sorry I forgot to reply) But oh my god this just reminded me I have so many things to add! I have trouble keeping up with it, I'm either on a roll and constantly adding or I just add loads at once because Im like 'OH WAIT I FORGOT TO ADD THESE THINGS' which is me right now ahah x
