Not to be a LAME-O but I'm always shocked when the bill comes during a meal where we didn't order drinks, it is SO much cheaper (and just as yummy) *chefs kiss*

⭐My whole life I never thought I could order the fancy entree at a restaurant (you know, the one sequestered in it's own little dedicated box on the menu). Well guess what? You CAN. No one is stopping you. Sure, the bill might be a little much, but realistically you'll forget all about it by the time your credit card payment is due and it won't make a difference. So go ahead. Order it. It's probably really good. You deserve nice things, and this is one of them.

💰As opposed to buying an individual meal at a boring one.

🍽Once upon a time, in another life, all I invested what little money I had was in weed and cheap alcohol and clothes I don’t wear anymore and I can’t remember what else.
Now I often focus on treating myself (with a friend) to a restaurant outside of our pay grade that we bookmarked off ig reels and everyone there is 5-50 years older than us.
I’d rather spend $$$ on delicious wine and fire pasta or afternoon tea or a bougie burger etc. etc. at a place I’m not destined to run into someone I’d rather not run into. Embrace giggling the whole time at how perfect the butter and focaccia was and constantly overly-reassuring each other spending this much on a dinner we won’t ever forget is a perfectly valid expense on a biweekly paycheck. We deserve it. Even if we have to split it into 4 payments via the chase app.
Some people throw hundreds a month or week into alcohol, coke, ketamine, weed, and the likes. To each their own. So I refuse to feel too guilty when I get the bill and it’s equivalent to 3-4 hours of labor, if I enjoyed every bite and I’m a little tipsy off Pinot. Everyone has their vices, and suddenly mine is a $18 dessert.

⭐I know this might be controversial but I actually started doing this over the past few months—and I don’t mean flatulating somewhere cruel like on the subway or in an elevator, but literally just walking on the street. I realized I do not care if it makes a noise as long as I personally can’t hear it and pretend nothing has happened. It’s really liberating and has even brought me to a much more philosophical question akin to "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" — but more like, “if I do something embarrassing but I don’t perceive it or take note of anyone’s reactions, is it actually embarrassing?” Maybe not?

🛏Every time there is a long holiday break from work or even a night where I don't have much going on, I find myself super anxious, desperately looking for a way to do something productive (write, clean, bake then clean more, workout, do a task I've been putting off). My boyfriend, on the other hand, is realllllly good at RELAXING. Yesterday he spent the whole day in bed watching Tiny Desk on the T.V., drinking tea, reflecting and relaxing. At the end of the day he said it was much needed and then went to bed early. In 2024 I want to be able to do NOTHING and feel good. Like really good, not fake good. Haven't done it yet but I think I would highly recommend it.

I've never actually spent time in Jersey City but I have been meaning to go specifically to visit Moda Studio. They have such a beautiful, well curated collection & their prices are *great.*
