Materialism & Gratitude

[intentional_life]

So for my birthday i was SUPER spoiled in every sense. i spoiled myself by buying myself a beautiful necklace i had my eye on from Mejuri during their 20 percent off sale. Ive never bought myself something that expensive and i love it. Then J and his family went in on buying me that Dyson airwrap for my hair. Its wonderful! I got some beautiful clothing leading up to the thanksgiving. I got a perfume, a small purse, productivity notebook and a book. Seriously, I got everything i could ever want and more. Not to mention, the half of my engagement ring was paid. It was an overly indulgent weekend. prior to this weekend, i was able to pay for a year at my gym upfront for a fraction of the cost 250 instead of 400 for the year. I was able to buy all my make up and face products from sephora on sale for the entirety of 2022. I have all the shoes, clothing, make up, face products, jewelry and STUFF THAT I COULD EVER WANT/NEED. i even did couponing for all the toilettries we need for 2022. seriously we have EVERYTHING we could need.

It was so much materialism. I am aware that there was a lot spent and a lot of wanting and getting. I am in complete gratitude for all of it and i want to carry that in 2022 with a mindset of my frugality, minimalism and TRUE GRATITUDE. to me, true gratitude comes in the form of taking really good care of our things and being conscientious of our purchases and ongoing expenses.

i want 2022 to be a year of ENJOYING what i already have. I want to spend time reading the books i have, writing in notebooks i own, organizing and caring for what i already have. being fully present with it all
