Golden Moments

Last thursday, I overheard a thought-provoking discussion on RTE Radio 1 between presenter Kathryn Thomas and bestselling author of The Goddess Guide and The Goddess Experience, Gisele Scanlon.

In case you haven't heard of them before, The Goddess Guide and The Goddess Experience are stunning treasuries of style and are must-reads for anyone with even the slightest interest in Style.

The radio interview focused mainly on the recently-published second book, The Goddess Experience: What makes Your Happy?, which, in Gisele's own words, "is crammed with over 1001 micro-pleasures; uplifting fashion, beauty, travel, food and home tips". Essentially, "micro pleasures" are to style authors what "golden moments" are to Barry's Tea drinkers i.e. the little things that make us happy.

With 5 minutes to spare...and struggling to come up with good sensible blog content...I decided to make my own list. So, here goes:


Things that Make Caroline Happy:

  • Being in the company of my favourite people.
  • My 'broken in' jeans.
  • Receiving a card in the post.
  • Getting into a freshly-made bed.
  • Bagging a bargain.
  • Towels straight out of the tumble dryer.
  • Paddling in the sea.
  • Eating raw 'queen cake' mixture out of the bowl.
  • Hot buttery toast.
  • Picking the petals one-by-one off daisies.
  • Finding a fiver in my pocket that I didn't know I had.
  • Stretching.
  • Fast-forwarding past the ads with Sky Plus ("speedy speedy").
  • Post spring-clean/wardrobe-decluttering pride.

Yours in style,
Caroline
