These are a few of my favourite things (blog marathon post 23)

One of the best ways to cheer yourself up, when you have had a particularly nasty/busy/draining day is to think of your favourites. Your favourite person, your favourite spot in the house, your favourite drink---all of which instantly bring you joy. Studies have shown that when we look at photographs of those we love, our brains tell our body to release the endorphins and the 'feel-good' factor kicks in.


So when I found this meme on Sunday Stealing on Favourite things, I decided to do it as a blog post.


It asks you to list the following favourites..and I give next to it, my answers as well.
