My husband and I also almost bought something from the Ikea x Tesamann's collection! The pieces are so beautiful. But, I feel equally as content in my home without them. I am done trying to impress people with my house.
I also love your approach to a no-buy month. I somehow unintentionally created a system for myself where I really only buy 1-2 pieces of clothing in total per season. It's so much fun to really figure out what you need and what those 1-2 items will be that I then purchase.
Totally! If I look around my house is also already cozy and beautiful! Sometimes we caught up in the trends and they make us feel like we need stuff to be 'complete' or happy.
And I would love to read more about the system you have created to only buy a few pieces per season, that would make a great issue!
It’s good to see people who are more conscious about their spending as social media, especially TikTok and Instagram seem to only care about us consuming anything and everything with constant trends that needs purchasing.
I also love Nicole and her videos. Have you tried Pamela Reif, she always does Pilates and slow impact workouts although she does more intense/cardio workouts?
my spending has also decreased since i started spending less time on tiktok. all these trends - sade girl aesthetic, tomato girl summer!! i was so overwhelmed. i’m now trying to find my own personal style. i love reading these, thank you!
That is awesome Monique!! I don't if you feel the same way but I don't miss Tiktok at all. It was easier than I thought letting it go. And you are right, it's impossible to catch up with trends and they mess up with our personal style in more ways than we realize! Thank you so much for reading <3
I loved reading this as I’m very much trying to do the same. I did buy that water bottle awhile back (and it is pretty great) but am cutting back on so many other things (though I am also leaving some room for substack subs and self care). Going to try the Pilates classes you recommended, and listen to Hermanos Gutierrez this weekend — thank you!
Omg thanks for reporting on the water bottle. I need real opinions vs sponsored ones haha. Please let me know if you like Hermanos Gutierrez music, I love them so much!
I, too, am conscious about my spending and pretty "low maintenance" as well. this was a great post-- it should be a monthly series! :)
Thank you! That’s a great idea 💌 I might make it a series 🙂↕️

Thanks for giving me this idea for a new piece! Wrote it down on my "to write" list immediately. Appreciate connecting with you :)
