You know you’re an Adult when…
Getting a new appliance excites you. I’ve never had a blender of my own. And there are so many recipes that need one! Working with my dietician through Nourish has been awesome and since we are going with a healthier more veggie and whole food approach- black bean peanut butter cherry brownies are soon to be the first meal made with this sweet thing. Would’ve preferred glass- not in the budget. And this IS brand new- I never get BRAND new things.
Oh the curtain rod is another BRAND new thing that I’ve never had my own of- yes- I have had curtain rods before had them given to me or passed on to me- but never bought brand new. Oh 31 is such an exciting year! #BRANDnewthingsofmyown #happiness #thethingsthatexciteuswhrnwegetold #newblender #bellabrand
Buying my very first brand new blender was genuinely a milestone that made me feel like an actual adult. It’s funny how something as simple as a kitchen appliance can bring such a sense of pride and accomplishment. The Bella 10-Speed Blender, with its 520-watt powerful motor and large 48-ounce BPA-free jar, turned out to be perfect for my new health-focused lifestyle. Working with my dietician, I’m excited to experiment with recipes like black bean peanut butter cherry brownies—a unique, veggie-friendly treat! One thing I wish I could have gotten was a glass jar instead of the plastic one, but budget constraints meant I had to go with the basics. Still, the durable four-tip stainless steel blade and the easy-to-clean, dishwasher-safe parts have made blending a breeze. There’s also comfort knowing this model comes with a 2-year warranty, which reassures me since I tend to hesitate about investing in brand new items. Similarly, buying a brand new curtain rod was another unexpected adulting high for me. I’d always inherited or been gifted curtain rods before, but purchasing one that’s completely mine felt empowering. Having control over these little details at home adds to a growing sense of independence and stability. I never thought owning brand new things would carry this much meaning until I turned 31 and embraced this new chapter in life. These experiences really highlight how we celebrate small wins, like having quality kitchen equipment or home fixtures, that play a role in creating a comfortable and happy living space. For anyone hesitant about getting new appliances or home essentials, I highly recommend starting with a budget-friendly but reliable blender like the Bella Basics. It’s versatile for making everything from smoothies to healthy baked goods, and it encourages you to explore new recipes with fresh fruits and veggies. Adulting really is full of these small but sweet milestones that make life exciting.
