All I Want for Christmas (As a lady in her 20s)

-

 The holidays are complicated; especially when you're in your 20s. The stage of life that you are in may vary drastically depending on a variety of things. People may consider you hard to shop for. People may not know what to get you. So many people ask me what I want for birthdays, holidays, and other important events. I am working on compiling a list of practical gifts for people in a stage of life similar to mine. I am a 20 something. I have a dog. I live alone. When I'm not working, I am spending time with my friends and family. I prioritize self care. I have a variety of hobbies, and its sometimes hard for the people around me to keep track of where I am, what I'm doing, and why. If this is you or anyone you know, keep reading. You will probably find something you'll love. 

1. Apple Air Tag

I'm a busy lady, and I forget things. I have the apple watch and an iphone, so I'm constantly pinging my phone. The apple AirTag basically makes it so you can ping whatever. I recommend the one with the key attachment or getting a super cute cover to compliment it. Because its technically a gift under $25 I think buying a cute case is a great option. I also recommend buying the multi pack and gifting them to anyone who loves Apple and its products. 


2.  Weighted Blanket

This is my favorite gift I've received in the past few years. It is so comforting and I use it all the time. If you're anything like me, you probably enjoy cozy tv shows and gaming. I love cuddling up on the couch or in my bed with my weighted blanket. It is a sweet cozy gift, and it also can be under $25. The one I have linked above is the exact one that I own and love. 

3. Facial Steamer

Talk about luxury. If you are looking to spoil someone, buy them a face steamer. This one item has taken my self care to the next level. The winter time is such a harsh time for our skin, it is also when we spend more time indoors. This one product will make you feel so special, it is so cute, and under $25. For anyone looking to treat themselves or someone else without breaking the bank, this is the go to. 

4. Hooded Robe

While we are talking about self care, I have to mention the hooded robe. I have one, and I live in it. I walk my dog in it and I pack it on every trip. If you are looking for something practical and cozy, I recommend the hooded robe. This is great for people of most ages, but especially those collage students. I was gifted one while I was still in college and it became a staple wardrobe piece for doing homework or wondering the dorm hall. Its right above $25, but that means its eligible for free shipping one amazon without amazon prime. A must have.

5. Veggie Chopper

   Weather you like to cook or not, chopping vegetables happens. If you hate cooking, the veggie chopper will make it take less time. If you love to cook, your prep time will be cut down and you will have more time to taste test and prep other components of the meal. It can be used for so many different things with the changeable blades. Potatoes, onions, eggs, and more. Its dishwasher safe and the product linked also comes with  a finger guard, cleaning brush, and four different blades. I would say it is on the pricier side, but it is a good practical gift for almost anyone.

Take the Next Step

 Take the Next Step When I do not know what to do, I choose to do one thing that feels right. Sometimes it is making a cup of tea or calling a friend. I do not always know what to do, but that does not keep me from doing something. There is always a step that can be taken. For me, low stakes actions are so comforting. I can do one small thing for my health that leads to major differences. I crave a sense of control, and knowing that I can do one small thing that helps me feel in control is so affirming. Taking a shower, calling a friend, reading a book, or choosing to rest. By setting an alarm for 30 minutes or 1 hour, I feel accomplished. I feel like I made a choice for my wellness. To anyone that feels like that I losing control, I challenge you to take one step. Taken whatever step you need for your wellness. Light a candle, cry, curse, or take a break. Whatever your next step is, make it consciously and confidently because it is your choice. You get to take back control of your...

Magical Tip of the Week May 12, 2023

-
Feelings are Temporary. I have been in therapy for years, but this week the most groundbreaking sentence was said to my by my therapist. She told me that feelings are temporary, but what we believe is long lasting. I have always had big, all-consuming feelings. I have a hard time separating my feelings from the feelings of those around me. I have a hard time coming back down after working myself up, but this small shift in thinking has truly helped. She made it very clear that my affirmations are my beliefs despite what I am feelings when I say them. I believe that I have peace, I am beautiful, I am abundant, I am loved, I am healthy, I am enough, and that I have genuine community. I tell myself these things regularly. I believe these things to be true, but I often feel things that challenge these beliefs. I sometimes feel frustrated or that I am lacking in some are, but that does not change my core belief that I have peace and I am abundant. I may feel at odds with a member of my comm...
