One thing about me is I’m going to find something to spend money on 😭 #spender

2/24 Edited to

... Read moreI totally get the feeling of wanting to find something to spend money on—it’s like a natural urge for some of us! Over time, I’ve learned that embracing this part of myself rather than fighting it has made my spending habits feel less guilty and more purposeful. Instead of impulsively grabbing random items, I try to focus on meaningful purchases that truly add value or happiness to my life. For example, picking out a book I’ve been eager to read or a cozy piece of clothing that boosts my confidence. I’ve found that setting a small monthly budget dedicated to “fun spending” helps me indulge without the stress afterward. It’s so important to strike a balance: enjoying the thrill of buying something new while also keeping financial wellness in mind. Sharing this mindset with friends who identify as #spender has opened up conversations about personal finance and self-care, turning what could be seen as overspending into an opportunity to explore what brings joy. If you recognize yourself in this too, know you’re not alone—it’s about finding that happy medium that nourishes both your wallet and spirit!

what they don’t tell you about breastfeeding
hello ◡̈ When I began breastfeeding I felt like I didn’t know anything. I became overwhelmed with it and I definitely chop it down to the fact that I wasn’t well educated on any of it. Breastfeeding is almost this weird taboo thing, much less now than it used to be, but I feel like it’s just not
