This reminds me of when I come back to reading for the first time in a little while and my brain is still itching to scroll. But soon I’m back in the groove again and don’t even think about grabbing my phone instead!

I was tempted by some Old Navy clothes recently, but they were just cropped black sweatpants. I realized that I can basically find those whenever I want, and I don’t need new sweatpants right now. Plenty of old ones still fit!

Does using my library to get free tickets to the nature museum and the children’s museum count!?
You can only do these for free 1x/year but I think if we get Mr. Ninja a library card we might be able to do the passes 2x/year!
Or maybe I can do it through another library district near me?
TBD but it was nice to plan for free! Check out your local libraries folks, so many great resources.

It really is. I knew about the psychological/spiritual components to the method because of the circles I run in, but it’s very good to read them.

The whole thing also has a gentle vibe that I think is missing in a lot of American Decluttering media

y’all my friend called me today to see if i wanted to go to sephora. i was a little tempted by one item (the fenty highlighter 
) but i didn’t buy anything. i did get some samples of foundations to try and i got my birthday gift from them but that was all free.
then my friend took me to the bakery and got me a paczki so all the money i spent today was for my monthly tank of gas.

samples are a great idea to get a quick hit of that “new thing” feeling!

yeah! the gals working there were so nice and helped me find the specific products and shades to try. but i’m not lacking anything at the moment, so if one of them is a wow, it can go on the list with the fenty highlighter.
i was chatting about indie eyeshadows with one of the sephora helpers, and she suggested trying them as highlighters. genius!!
