So I did end up falling prey to Cyber Monday. However, it was a practical purchase with only a little bit of fun thrown in. While I'm trying to remain cool and collected, there is a part of me is panicking at the state of the world today.
I suppose I shouldn't be bragging too soon. There's still half the day left. But I can at least be pleased that I didn't spend much money over the holiday week. Yes, I purchased some Expensive Plastic Blocks, but I knew that would happen
Looking at trying to stick to a budget again. I feel like I should explain more. But anyone who is feeling the stress of the next couple months and the unknown of what might happen to the cost of everything is probably also feeling the same pressure of wondering if
I bought a vacuum. A cheap one. Not a fancy "buy it for life" one. I realize that this vacuum will probably start to fall apart in a few years. But I can't afford a fancy BIFL vacuum. And I need one now so I stop
The Fancy Expensive Plastic Blocks company is having sales starting this weekend. My FEPB points will expire in a couple of weeks if I don't make a purchase before then. Ergo, guess who will be treating herself to a new shiny box of FEPB? Also, tonight I am

I managed to withstand the urge to buy something from the Orange Store today. It was a moment of weakness and I actually browsed with an intention to purchase, then realized I don't need anything and closed the app. It's not a lot, but it'
The anxiety spiral continues. I spent ~100 the last few days on things I don't need. Clothes, candy, lovely smelling things. The comfort things. I want to wrap myself up in a cozy sweatshirt and eat Dr. Pepper Jellie Bellies while the air smells like the inside of
So, last week was... a week. Yeah. I may have lost faith in much of my countrymen. But then I also found some spaces to renew my faith, at least in some of them. But I did have a moment of panic about the reliable skincare I use that comes
Here is a list of the empties I've collected since February. I'm slightly proud of what I've been able to go through, but also still surprised how long it takes to finish any full-size product. It's not an exhaustive list because there
We are only halfway through the week but I've already talked myself out of at least four purchases. Two of those impulse want-to-buys I've already forgotten. Two of them are still lingering but I know, rationally and logically and bank accountably, that I don't
