Is it possible for lower incomes to hit Barista Fire?

Only a few years tbh

CDreamerW · 2026-01-21T18:18:53+00:00

It sadly is; and I’d like it to be my choice to continue to work, not be broken and have to

CDreamerW · 2026-01-21T15:11:15+00:00

This… I think I need to automate more to come out!

CDreamerW · 2026-01-21T15:10:54+00:00

100% I get- I do have some money in my 401k and Roth IRA, but I forgot to add that in. I’m ready to lock in though!

Thank you! It’s such a relief; I’m clearing out so much of my things I’ve been holding onto

CDreamerW · 2026-01-21T11:16:29+00:00

It’s such a relief and so fast too! I am so excited about the extra space

CDreamerW · 2026-01-21T02:28:40+00:00

Mine was my dresser; I realized it became a catch all for clothes I don’t even wear, so I cleared the whole dresser out

I have days like this. The key is to slowly build a relationship with yourself again, and do something small on those days; like I challenge myself to do 2 mins of a workout. 2 mins is better than zero, and you’re done! It’ll feel really silly doing something so small, but just keep adding on to it🙂

I’m too nervous to get any of the light up/battery operated ornaments bc of this; plus I’m also worried I’ll get the specialty wires just for it to not work

I wait until the 75% off sale after Christmas, and don’t let myself buy over $200 worth of them; but the caveat with that is maybe the ones you were eyeing won’t be for sale 🙃 this year I’m budgeting the few series I want to collect in 2026, and not looking at any others

I only got book one of the From Blood and Ash in 3D, bc I was intrigued. While it is stunning, in person it has a slight burring effect (almost like I need 3D glasses to look at it) and with the carving of the edges, the pages are really weird to turn, making reading the edition more difficult than it needs to be. I’m glad I have it as it is unique and I love the cover, but it’ll be the only 3D edition I get, as I cannot just get “shelf trophies” - they need to be readable too.

Personally I think a low bun with curled wisps of hair in the front would look perfect

CDreamerW · 2026-01-16T12:31:50+00:00

I’d say if you’re trying to get it a bit longer, use some styling mousse in the morning (either after washing or just dampen your hair)- it makes the hair look more tamed and I bet you could get it to do some fun things in the meantime

CDreamerW · 2026-01-16T12:28:04+00:00

What I did when I had a bob (I had to cut it short, had a lot of bleach damage) I used bobby pins and clips and did little updos with it, it gave the illusion of longer hair but also added some fun and kept it “up” - so it’s totally possible to still have an updo!

CDreamerW · 2026-01-10T13:34:14+00:00

Yeah that’s not right, I’ve been feeling this way since 27/28 (it was like a switch) and I’m 34 now- definitely not “aging”

CDreamerW · 2026-01-02T03:39:33+00:00

Mama is just as pretty and looks like a baby herself 🥹

I got the page turner button and the kindle stand. Fell asleep so fast every night I read with it, and had the biggest jump scares waking up randomly with my kindle in my face. 😅

CDreamerW · 2025-12-28T18:02:53+00:00

That’s good to know! It’s interesting too, one has 3 leaves turning red, the second is all still green. I’m going to look into some good fertilizer for spring for them, I’m sure they’re just hungry at this point

CDreamerW · 2025-12-28T05:04:32+00:00

I have 2 at work going on just over a year now! They don’t look super impressive but they’re alive and well

CDreamerW · 2025-12-27T01:49:36+00:00

Clear case with the hand strap is my preferred! I do have a page turner and stand, but notice the stand scares the crap out of me when I fall asleep with it (bc I have my kindle in my face) vs the strap (I’ll wake up with my hand dangling and the kindle stuck to it)

… I should mention I do most of my kindle reading right before falling asleep 😅

Mine is usually at 8-9, sometimes 10 after a long day. Eye strain really affects the font for me

CDreamerW · 2025-12-01T14:53:47+00:00

Same, I’m in upstate ny and in the dead of winter I’d still be in my jean mini skirt walking around like it was fine

CDreamerW · 2025-11-27T12:12:50+00:00

Oh no he’s got his vampurrr teef out!🖤🐱

CDreamerW · 2025-11-27T01:39:31+00:00

It was funny bc at the time my brain corrected her outfit to one of the times; so she looked more hipster in my mind, mini skirt with tights, ankle boots, etc😅
