    Default Mood Boosters

    You know how certain colours, songs, smells, etc, can boost moods? What are some of your favourite mood boosters? What songs cheer you up? What smells put you in a better mood? Doesn't have to fit in one of those 3 categories, just silly things that boost your mood

    I like vanilla and lilac smells. For colours probably pink. For songs, I usually listen to silly ones and they make me laugh

    Cats dancing on their hind legs to the Moogle theme from FFVI. A good iced vanilla latte or chai tea. The smell of coffee, the smell of rain or the sea. Caramel, chocolate, donuts, cake, cupcakes. Mexican food, thai food. Comfort movies like My Blue Heaven, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Lost In Translation, The Royal Tenenbaums. A nice white russian or a glass of red wine. (Red wine is the most bubbly, warm, happy drunk ever. You can't be unhappy while being buzzed on red wine.) Hearing crappy old songs by from bands from my youth like AFI or Sugarcult or The Ataris that I never hear anymore. Belting songs like Bang the Doldrums or 20 Dollar Nosebleed from Fall Out Boy while I'm driving (something I did this very afternoon, unironically, because I love them). Basically, put any of my favorite things in front of my face and I will feel better instantly.

    edit: and any novel of David Sedaris' many. No one makes me laugh as much as that man does. Instant mood-lifter.

    Coffee (the smell, the warmth, everything), comfy clothes, a warm fuzzy blanket, a long list of songs, a good meal, the smell after a good thunderstorm, orange and turquoise...really the list is so long!

    To answer your question, CHOCOLATE.

    Chocolate- smurf loads of it. Oh, and pasta. I also spend a lot on Pinterest. I spend hours looking for stuff for school and funny stuff! It's a god-send for wasting the hours away when you feel rubbish. Plus, there's so much useful stuff on there!

    Christmas's posts boost my mood.

    Bright colors - mainly yellow - brighten my mood lots.

    Listening to Hank Williams Jr & other older country always makes me happy. Along with 90s music. Like Hanson and BSB.

    Oh. And food cuz duh.

    And ice cold water, like kayne said. But... MAN. unsweetened iced tea with lots of ice owns so hard. Along with Diet Cokes from McDonald's or cherry lime diet coke from Sonic. *drool*
