Warning: Extreme Happiness is Hazardous to Your Health

By: Souwan

How do you define happiness? Is it by how much money you have in the bank? How many ‘toys’ you have at your discretion? The number of parties/events you attend or get invited to? Merriam-Webster defines happiness as “a state of well-being and contentment.

Dr. Ed Diener of the Academe of the Academe of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign researched happiness for two decades stated that "the most pleased people may not live as long as moderately pleased individuals. Some of his findings can be found at http://www.egodevelopment.com/.

My friends and family are what makes me happy; everything else is just a catalyst. Lets take a moment and reflect while we drink one my favorite drinks "Long Island Ice Tea."

Long Island Ice Tea

Ingredients:

1 part vodka
1 part 1800® Tequila
1 part rum
1 part gin
1 part triple sec
1 1/2 parts sweet and sour mix
1 splash Coca-Cola®

Mix ingredients together over ice in a glass. Pour into a shaker and give one brisk shake. Pour back into the glass and make sure there is a touch of fizz at the top. Garnish with lemon.

outfit of the day: casual denim shorts and sperry's

what i wore: cynthia rowley tee, american eagle shorts, thrifted belt, juicy couture bracelet, belk's charm bracelet, old navy aviator shades, sperry's top-sider boat shoes. I wore this out for a few errands with the fiance. My car battery needed replacing, I have worn that thing out. Ex. leaving it on while taking naps during lunch. Don't do this ladies. Ha! This look is so comfy and definitely a repeat when I'm running around town.

outfit of the day: bold blues

what i wore: express (gift) blouse, thrifted skirt, payless heels, belk's pearl necklace and earrings This look makes me feel lady like and business savy. I wore this look to the office. Who says your work wardrobe has to be dull? This outfit is office appropriate, but fun with the bold blue skirt. Get away from those gray and black colors. At the corporate office there are rules to your attire: the length of your skirt needs to be at your knee, no sandals, no tank tops or strapless, no leggings, no jeans/jeggings, no house shoes/tennis shoes/stilettos. With many more to list, I won't take up your day. You have got the idea i'm sure. =) I just wanted to share this with any ladies who adore Lilly Pulitzer, they are having a sale and most items are 80% off! Great deal! www.lillypulitzer.com
