I’m obsessed with sweet, inexpensive candles and this one from HEB is my favorite by far.

i think it’s literally just a type of white cake scent. Nothing really to do with actual piñatas lol

Second fave rn is this one from Target. I’m pretty sure it’s seasonal, so order quick!

it’s more like white chocolate with a pumpkin-ish scent to me. not gross spicy pumpkin, lovely starbucks dessert kind of pumpkin imo

Earlier this week I started listening to “The Tools” by Phil Stutz and Barry Michels while cooking breakfast and doing the morning dishes.

As a whole, I think it’s generally useful.

But like most self-help books, also a bit hokey.

HOWEVER, there was one chapter about this lady who can’t stop living in a state of worry and panic and never really lets herself relax because there is a whole ass black cloud in the way all the time.

That one in particular (Chapter 5 “The Grateful Flow”) was especially written for me right now, and I’m extra thankful to have listened to it.

screenshotted about the exact point in the book where i decided it was worth sharing bc it felt like it was hitting home

As a child-free-by-choice person, I loved this post lol

In fact, you should probably follow the whole @richauntiesupreme instagram account regardless of your parenting status.

It’s an intelligent and welcoming place for those who don’t want their own children, but aren’t typically told that’s an ok way to be.

About 3 months ago, before my big trip to Canada, I started renting coats and now I’m obsessed.

I signed up for Nuuly, and they give you 6 clothing items of any kind for about 100 bucks per month.

As someone from hot ass Austin who mentally struggles to buy such expensive items because she changes her mind all the time, this has been so fun and worthwhile.

I highly recommend!

All coats/tops in the photos below were rented and returned as part of my membership.

They also retail for anywhere from $150 to $450 USD each.

Here are some pics on my bod:

i’m upset I didn’t buy the long black coat at a discount from nuuly while I had it in my possession. i tried to re-rent it the following month and it was gone 😔

top left was my christmas sweater, bottom right was delivered new with tags! it was one-size fits all according to Anthropology but I was swimming in it and that’s ok. i felt like a cute little grandma

And here are the pics of my actual 3 orders so far if you’re curious what they looked like on the models:

They all make me feel bonita! 💅

My boyfriend released his latest song and music video a couple days ago and it would mean the absolute world to me if you checked it out below!!!! 🙏 🙏

My favorite body spray that i’ve been using for like 2 or 3 years but somehow have not told you about yet is Queen Bee by Good Chemistry.

I got this one single bottle from Target AGES ago and only use it once or twice a week when I’m going somewhere other than the gym and it’s still like halfway full.
