Celebrate your wins, bitch
I do something weird when I spend months/years trying to achieve a goal. I do nothing. Once I’ve completed the goal, I move on to the next thing without acknowledging or enjoying the fact that I have reached a fantastic goal. Why do I do this? On a recent episode of the psychology of your…

Change.
How much venting and complaining is okay before you need to make a change? That’s a rhetorical question, but if you have an answer, hit me up. I reached a point in my life maybe around 2 years ago where I don’t want to complain about my life. When I was younger, I could blame…

Spending with Intent: October
My new skincare routine & bubble baths. My face feels softer than a baby’s feet. I don’t know why I used that analogy, but you understand. I recently got a discoloration correction serum from Good Molecules and Rose Hip Seed oil for The Ordinary. I stay glowing using the face wash, this serum, oil, and…

Save Money on Gas!!
I found another cash-back app, homies. Gas in California is ridiculous. In the last month, I’ve saved $20 on gas using the Upside App. It is similar to Ibotta, which I discussed in my post – Easy Beer Money. You can get actual cash money back instead of just gift cards. There wasn’t much hassle…

Solo Travel in Japan
TL: DR I went on a date, solo bar hopping, heavy karaoke & I can make sushi now. I had some solo mysterious choose your adventure days. My friends went to Disneyland and other day trips. I chose to try and live like a local on these dates. It really fits my slow travel and…

Long train rides
I love Amtrak trains, and no one can change my mind. I’ve always had a general love for long train rides, though, since I despise driving. I think I’m the main character looking at the scenery before I get inspiration for the new phase of my life. Buses are ghetto though I won’t lie about…
