1. Wake up to discover a mysterious box.
2. Open the mysterious box.
3. Detect desert!
4. Eat the desert, licking your fingers (very important).
5. Share it with someone you love (like the Fruit Cat).
6. Snap a picture with someone you love.
7. Believe in your heart of hearts that a day like this can’t go wrong.
Deerlings: what are your secrets to a marvelous day?
A cuddle with kitties in the morning sets the tone for a good day :) I can attest to that!
Awwww! I love sweets! *-*
I know how to make cake in 3 minutes using the microwave and that’s my way of making a marvelous day!
Hahahah really, this looks delicous! What fruit is that? Looks like blackberry but I’ve never eaten anything like that where I live O.O’
Looks yummy!!!
Beautiful pictures & a beautiful start to the day. And hoorah for the return of fruit cat!
Lovely pictures of lovely you on a lovely morning. I wish my mornings were like this. <3
It all looks delicious!
YAY for good mornings. Sadly I started off my day sick :(
Woah, you wake up with perfect hair! But ya, just simply getting a good nights sleep makes me feel so much better and more focused during school ;D
A good school day!! Discovering web sites that you didn’t know exist.
Eating sandwiches that tastes good and drinking a lot of mineral water.
Fresh air and lots of sunshine.
Tada!
i wish every morning was like that!
What a great way to start a day! not like mine! hahaha!! ;) beautiful pictures and what a lovely cat!! and cake!! greetings!
I’ve had a magical day :D
we have heavy snow so I went out with my sister for an afternoon stroll through the parks nearby.
Then we went to the nearest town to try on perfumes and tester make up…and happily I found my scent for 2009 xD you know that feeling when a perfume just amazes you and you have to buy it? Harajuku Lovers “Love” fragrance is my new smell :)
Love the photo shooot…and the furry kitty cat!
My marvelous day starts with cuddles by the bf while I snooze a little bit after my first morning alarm, then pets and cuddles with the animals (2 kitties and a bunny) and the end of the a marvelous night always ends with yoga/meditation and an awesome home cooked meal (by my bf) and then more cuddles with animals and bf.
I was going to ask where that came from and then I looked closely at the box.
I would say my favorite thing to wake up to in the morning is:
1. Realizing its Saturday, and therefore my “get stuff done for myself” day.
2. Realizing Paul is still sleeping next to me, and since this is my day and I can dictate when it really gets going, spending a few minutes snuggling with him because I don’t have to get up and rush to work.
3. Doing all kinds of errands and things that I’ve put off until the weekend, and doing them in grand style with my little pomeranian by my side! She even goes to Target with me =)
ha ur to cute…love the pics, for me it would be to go to the candy store and look at all the colors and smell the candies, SO pretty when light hits the candies in a glass bowl,awwww yeah i’m a candy whore……had a giant candy buffet in my BDAY party, but anything with color makes my day MARVELOUS :) HUGS TO YOU.
Aww how sweet. And that looks dessert looks delish! I’d definitely love to indulge in a breakfast like that. Clearly a marvelous day!
my secret for a good day spending the whole day in your pajamas in bed watching movies, or the complete opposite get dressed in your cutest outfit and do somthing with everysingle one of your close friends….last time it was playing in the park with the snow
Waking up in the warm sun. I have a problem waking up when it’s cold or raining… and living in Texas has spoiled me. I get sniffly in the slightest cold.
A well prepared breakfast would set a marvelous start too! :) Yay fruit cat…
My secret to a marvelous day is ALWAYS an amazing cup of coffee, followed by thinking of all the things I could possibly do, followed by reading a book and having a snooze instead.
So cute!!
I think that dressing up and baking something sweet always makes for a great day!
By the way – I’d love to see where YOU work -http://shoedaydreams.blogspot.com/2009/02/where-magic-happens-showing-my-blogspot.html
Luv
Poochie
Coffee.
Waking up to feel the boyfriend sleeping next to me, then falling back asleep. Then waking back up and having something sweet for breakfast – pancakes, French Toast, a bowl of sugary cereal, etc.
Wake up.
Consider To Do List.
Ignore To Do List.
Make tea.
Drink tea.
Make waffles.
Eat waffles.
Spend rest of day reading long, pre-1930 British novel.
Finish novel.
Email friends.
Make fun plans.
Take Lush bath.
Fall Asleep.
Repeat as necessary.

p.s. Of course you all know that your fruit cats must stick to fruit and NOT LICK THE CHOCOLATE, right?

1. Listen to a dance song (like your ‘What U Like’) :) first thing in the morning as soon as you wake up so you have a little spring in step for your day. :3
2. Take extra time to make yourself look good. :P
3. Surround yourself with people you love. <33
4. Clean the house beforehand so when you wake up it feels oh so nice! 8D
:D i love it <3
my secrets are: good outfit
good people
and a big smile!!
I’ve just seen Jenny’s comment and must say that the best days are when I sleep on my boyfriend’s house and then wake-up, watch him sleeping and then we eat breakfast together!
But when I’m home, yay for 3-minutes-cake!
1. wake up and realize that its snowed outside
2. get up and dance around the house with music playing very loudly
3. call a friend and demand that they join you in playing the snow
4. go to a park, and play in the snow
5. pose inappropriately with the statues in the park
6. go back to the house and drink tons of hot tea on the floor
7. paint each other’s nails
8. realize that its snowing again tonight
<3 <3
(also, is your hair naturally that curly!? I LOVE it! If its not, how do yo make it so wonderful?)
Wow, that sounds like a wonderful morning! It’s really nice to see you without makeup on. Your makeup is amazing of course ;) but it’s great to see what you look like naturally.
My perfect morning would probably be…
-Waking up next to my girlfriend
-Seeing that it is snowing heavily outside, but in my bed I’m really warm and toasty and content
-Having a lovely breakfast with my girlfriend
-Going out and dancing in the snow
Beginning the day with someone you love is always the best :]
and if you can’t do that, well, some chocolate chip pancakes never hurt the soul.
I just looked back and it seems Jenny & Cacau know exactly what I mean!
i swear i <3 you more with everyone of your shoots Xenia =)
perfect day*
- wake up well rested
- go sledding on my stomach like a penguin with friends
- laugh our asses off
- relax in the sauna with a bottle of ice cold water
- see my boyfriend =)
- have a sleepover!
peacexo – thanx deere
Cacau, the berries looks like raspberries. I got those in the forest where I live…
The perfect day for me is probably to wake up and knowing that I got alot of fun and exciting things to do…
Ohhhhhh!! Thanks! I’ve never eaten the fruits! Just jelly!!! It’s not a fruit we find easily where I live…. (Brazil)
Mmm so yummy !!^-^
bisous
Wonderful way to start a day! I love to give all 6 of my kitties big hugs and kisses before I leave the house. It sets a calming tone within me. Plus the sounds of purring keeps me going all day long. Knowing that I have all of them to come home to at the end of the day :o)
Love everyone’s secrets!

My hair is naturally wavy, and I curled it for those pix. I used small plastic curlers that give you a tight, tiny curl. It took half an hour to put them in but the result is always super-fun!
You look like Regina Spektor in this series!

Thanks for telling your secret! I will have to find some of those rollers, your hair looks so gleeful (to take a word from you ha ha)
5 steps to a great morning:
1. sleep in as much as i wish.
2. wake up to see my kitty-cat waiting patiently next to my yummy breakfast, delivered to my on a silver platter.
3. eat the breakfast, allowing kitty to nibble on any feta cheese i come across.
4. turn on my television to realize that a great chick flick has been recorded.
5. watch the movie from the comfort and warmth of my bed.
i’ve been reading your blog for five or six month and i really love it!
and you are so cute, you remind me of alice in wonderland ^^
xoxo
Laying in bed all day! :)
Such beautiful pictures!
Those pictures made my day great ^__^
1. Wake up to a ray of light that’s managed to infiltrate the room via the window.
2. Turn over and kiss lovely boyfriend on the nose.
3. Admire boyfriend for 5 minutes, get bored and decide to wake him up.
4. Kiss boyfriend until he finally opens his eyes, and then promptly hits you with his pillow.
5. Break out into an epic Pillow Battle.
6. Be told by lovely boyfriend to wait here.
7. Wait for 20 minutes until you hear the tell-tale sound of sizzling.
8. Enjoy breakfast in bed with boyfriend. Breakfast consists of: pancakes, bacon, hash browns and a hot chocolate =]
Waking up well rested with my honey,kitties, and sugar gliders next to me. Packing a picnic lunch and trailering the horses to ride at a beautiful horse park nearby!:):)
Number Five,
You resemble Regina Spektor!
I know that there is usually a similarity (and the Russian heritage), but I do adore her.
Those pajamas are cute! Where can I find or order them?
Enough time in the morning to make myself look and feel wonderful: A good face scrub, a gorgeous lolita outfit, and perhaps even a little time to meditate and pray.
BTW, these pictures are absolutely gorgeous. You look perfect even when you’re hair is frizzy and with minimal make-up! *o*
