lifeofhappiness's posterous

This upcoming weeked I am embarking on a grand adventure to Southern California with my bestie, Toxxxic Doll. It's going to be a whimsical adventure with vegan food, apartment hunting, meeting up with an old friend, going out at night, finalizing our move to L.A. (yes, I am moving!), & much more! One of the biggest things (which I believe to be true) is that Toxxic Doll and I will be going to The Ellen DeGeneres show! Say what?! Yes, you heard me. I'm going to go see Ellen!! *scream of excitement!!* It will be marvellous, amazing & super fun! I can sense how much fun we will have and what we will be embarking on! Though I have no idea what will go down in L.A., I can say that it will be amazing. I can sense that our apartment is coming soon, our careers will be brought to life and our lives will be changed for the better. May the Universe guide us to fun & adventure as I am willing to be open!

For now, I've gotta start planning for future blog posts, packing, eating (a boy has gotta eat!) & sleeping!

Much love,

The biggest issue in my life that I feel that I could share with everyone would be the topic of relationships & loving yourself. It's something that fascinates me which is why I have begun reading books like Choosing ME before WE, Make Every Man Want You & Calling In "The One. A part of me wants to find that special someone in my life but at the same time I don't want to make him an idol, ditch my life & make him be the plug to my holes in my life. To that, I say, "HELL NO!" So many relationships are based on this belief that someone completes you. Nobody can complete you; just yourself, love. You don't need a man/woman/boyfriend/girlfriend/wife/husband/whatever to complete you. All the love you have is already inside of you.

Now, I do not mean, "Screw relationships! They suck!" I think they are absolutely wonderful when they are based on two individuals who have found the love in themselves & are complete as is. They just choose to be someone to share their life with and I'm so looking forward for that! For now, I'm on a self-discovery on finding out who I am, what I want & to release all of the gunk that I have kept locked up my entire life. I know one day that someone will come but for now, I want to learn on how to love myself that it leaks out & transforms other people's lives. So, which brings me to say that I'll be launching my first podcast ever & the first episode will be about relationships. I'm planning this course for a friend of mine who wants to find her lover. I feel that's what I'm meant to do. I can feel this strong force that I can do many amazing things and that I do well on the things I know best to help others. So, that's what I'm going to do!

I'll talk more about this course on finding your love, falling in love with yourself and living a miraculous life. It's going to be an amazing ride & I can feel it!

Stay tuned!

Love,

The song of the day!! I love this song by Sara Bareilles! So, lovely!

Why, hello there & welcome back to Music Love #2!! It's been almost a year in which I have posted Music Love #1 and I'm so glad to be sharing with you guys my musical taste! My friends have always wondered what I'm interested in but to tell you the truth, I never know what to tell them! My taste in music always changes and ranges. I usually stick to mainstream pop but who can resist some J-Pop, K-Pop, Spanish music, French music and the like? I sure cannot! I embrace different styles of music and while I may not love every single one of them, I do appreciate that we have music in our life. So, thank you, Universe for music! I greatly appreciate it! Now, onto my music playlist for this week that I have been enjoying!

It's been almost a year since I last have written here. My mind has been dabbling on starting countless blogs all of which have led me to not want to blog at all! Until, I came back to this particular blog that it just latched onto me and something in me told me to keep on blogging on here. Well, what can I say? YES! I'm back and I am willing to blog more and make this wonderful! Now, in case, where I was. I have been traveling like mad, tumbling on Tumblr and more. It's been a wild year! So many things have happened! But I just want to dedicate this blog post to one of my favorite bloggers: Gala Darling.

She does these posts called, "Things I Love Thursday" and I simply love it! It's all about gratitude and it lights the fire inside of me! It's super sexy! So, here I is what I'm grateful for today:

~I am grateful for being able to start a new day, each and every day. It's a whole new script!
~I am grateful for choosing to be happy and to live better
~I am grateful for the yummy portobello mushroom sandwiches I get from Herbivore!
~I am grateful for being given the opportunity on moving to Los Angeles, CA
~I am grateful for this song & this one & this one!
~I am grateful for the happiness in others as it is a reflection of my own internal happiness. & this video shows so much happiness at once!
~I am grateful for being able to feel my feelings and heal my life

Though it may be small for now, it'll advance so let's see what happens! & before I leave, here is "The Radical Self Love Manifesto" by Ms. Gala Darling!!

Much love,
Frani Zazi <3

It's been a while since I've last written here. I've been debating on what the point of this blog should be about and I realized that I'll be making a personal blog of whatever comes to mind for me. I may, or may not, be posting every day but once in a while I'll post something incredibly awesome. So, this week (and the last) I got super excited when one of my favorite French singers, Yelle,  released her new album! I got super happy and excited to listen to it. Let me say it is magnificently brilliant! I love it! Her album is named Safari Disco Club and since I love, love, love to share; I wanted to give you guys a wonderful treat of her first two tracks on the album. Enjoy! <3

I hope you guys enjoy them and more will come soon to this blog!

Hugs, peace, vegan cupcakes,
Frani <3

After being in hiatus from blogging (obviously, not from Twitter), I've come back with some brand new things that have made my week smile! So *drum roll* welcome to the first post about The Week Of Smiles. Every Thursday I want to share with you guys things that made me smile, feel grateful or just brought me to hugging myself with delight and telling myself that I LOVE myself. Now, I'm not an expert on loving myself yet but with more practice I'll be able to share with you guys tips and tricks to loving yourself and a whole bunch more!

xoxo,
Frani

"An anthropologist once asked a Hopi why so many of his people's songs were about rain. The Hopi replied, 'Because water is so scarce. Is that why so many of your songs are about love?'"

Pink? Where?! Oh right, it's National Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Friends and families are becoming aware of what breast cancer is and they are doing something about it by donating money to breast cancer charities and raising up money to find the cure. Now, we all know that the majority of these charities who are finding the cure conduct tests on animals and for me (the fabulous vegan) and all the others (the amazing fabulous vegans) don't want to put our money into charities that conduct suffering to these poor animals. So what is a kind-hearted soul to do?
