I recently ditched social media for a while. It was a random decision, so I don’t know when I’ll return back, but what I do know is I have truly been enjoying every day life without it. Sadly enough, I have found how much more time I have to do things with the people in front of me, rather than scroll through an app. My mind has even had time to relax and not feel so frazzled or frustrated because I have no clue what people are saying or doing. I’ll be honest, I do enjoy social media, and I do see the good in it, but taking a break from it every once in a while is necessary and is usually freeing and eye opening in one way or another.

So while doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles may not be a few of my favorite things, this list below are some of things that have become some of my favorites recently.
