Hiiii guysss this week I’m doing my updated Christmas gift guide. So this year I want to be mindful about how much I am consuming. Very often social media apps can make it seem like people need an excessive amount of gifts and other stuff like Christmas Eve boxes, December boxes ect … but this isn’t the reality as most of that stuff will probably not get used. It’s crazy to think that people spend that much and potentially put them self in debt for just that ONE day. I am here to tell you that should not be the reality. A majority of us have what we NEED to survive day to day life. So when we do ask for things for Christmas they are things we WANT and stuff that might be nice to have. But in no means a necessary or integral thing we need to survive.
I do have a few gift ideas that would be good for a range of budgets as there are often more budget friendly versions or more expensive ones. To put it in perspective there are a pair of boots that I would like for Christmas. Would I be okay with getting the dupes of them?? Yes!! They will probably look similar if not the same at a fraction of the cost. In the grand scheme of things everyone’s just living on a floating rock so who really cares?!? I have so many thoughts about a ‘normal consumption’ christmas and how people encourage overconsumption. I think perspective is so important … because it’s so easy to get influenced and swept up by social media and thinking that’s what you should be doing. Does anyone else have any thoughts lmk???
Also welcome to my new personality for the next yr because I am obsessed with WICKED 🩷💚🫧 … I absolutely loved the movie and have the soundtrack on REPEAT (yes, my family is kinda of annoyed by me atm but can’t stop won’t stop 🤪). And my mum got home from work today and said she saw someone at work wearing a wicked tshirt (she went with me to see it - see on my TikTok if u want lol) and asked where it was from. Then asked me if I wanted this tshirt (which I haven’t seen) because she knows I’m obsessed lol. She was like I’ll go get it right now after work and I was like I’m okay cos I haven’t seen the tshirt and don’t know if I will like it!! Anyway I review wicked this ep and I have lots to say … my random thoughts on the film. I actually need to see it again because I feel like there are things I missed like details ect. but if you haven’t seen it this is ur sign to go watch it. I’m sure my friends and family are sick of me talking abt it … so anyone else here who’s seen it lmk ur thoughts??
songs of the week: dancing through life & last christmas - thought they were very fitting for this week
have a lovely week guys lots of love and gratitude ♥️♥️♥️♥️
