buddha claus // third sunday of december

Dogeared necklace shot with Fujifilm x30

WOW THIS WEEK HAS BEEN GREAT. MUCH POSITIVE. SUCH OPTIMISTIC. 

 Buddha says....enter this week's giveaway. I mean, he would. If he could talk. And wasn't tiny. and a necklace. The good news is that because he is, YOU CAN WIN HIM.

(That was probably my best lead-in yet.) 

For the 3RD SUNDAY OF DECEMBER, I am giving away a gold Dogeared Buddha necklace! I am really excited about this one because I wear my Buddha every day, and it's a simple reminder to keep thinkin' about chill things. For this giveaway, the instructions are a little different, so pay close attention. Bonus points are a'jingling.

CHRISTMAS IS IN FOUR DAYS OH MY GOSH. Can you beliEVE I haven't even seen Elf ONCE this month? I am a disgrace. My Christmas tree has been up since the turkey cleared on Thanksgiving, and my dad has more lights on our house than Clark Griswold. That's just how we roll. How does your family celebrate? Any special traditions, or - more importantly - recipes?
All I want to do is make ginger bread houses, and eat cookie dough, and go ice skating, and maybe even hold hands. Probably watch Elf a couple dozen times, just to make sure nothings changed.


If Santa somehow lost your list, just remember - if you were really nice this year,  
you might even win a Dogeared necklace.

gonna have a good day // #goodthingshappen

buddha + flamingo necklaces c.o. dogeared // shirt c.o mnkr

16. Happy little necklaces full of good wishes.

Do you ever have a spectacularly good day? 

Nothing huge in particular happens, but it's just really good? 

Your hair was on point, your neighbor waved back,

 it was Taco Tuesday

 I have this theory that nearly every day could be like that if we focused on it a little more.

 So much good stuff happens and then gets totally run over by everything else. 

Taco Tuesday isn't so great when your taco shell goes kaput

who am I kidding a taco is a taco 

but YOU GET MY DRIFT 

So when Dogeared, my favorite makers of my favorite little necklaces, 

asked if I wanted to get involved in their #GoodThingsHappen campaign, 

I moved so fast I could have taken out Flash.

Rather than just swinging about some golden wishes,

 I thought I'd show you 15 very specific everyday things that I think are good. 

Books, rollerskates,

 and when people smile for no reason.

Number 10 is actually "hugs" but I like hogs too so take it as you will

I then got on Insta and asked you guys how your day was happening,

 and got some very happy news:

 "I ran 1.5 miles at field hockey practice & finished 13th out of about 60 girls!" - Yael

 "I got to hug my best friend!" - Colleen

"Karma was nice to me today. I bought coffee for my activities director and I made almost all my lights. I drove completely at peace with the world." - Sallie

"I managed to jump off an island into the sea in Italy from 9 metre!" - Isabella

 If all of these things were happening in one day,

 there's no reason they shouldn't the next.

So here is my very specific question I'd love to have youa nswer in the comments:

What good thing (or things) happened to you today?

While you're thinking about it,  check out Dogeared's classic Make a Wish collections. 

Every piece represents a different quality,

 and they're very helpful reminders of what you want to see in yourself. 

I've rubbed my Buddha so much there's no way he's not lucky.
