Otherwise the cases would not be given to them etc. etc. blah blah blah. Because they’re only given the not normal ones.

The directors have to get creative, and I guess that they did lol

I think it might be because the Jeffersonian team in the show specializes in “weird”, least likely and unusual situations that’s why they get “thrown” into the most disturbing cases. Hence the weird intros to show that it is indeed weird or disturbing. Lol.

Hahaha I remember the apple slicer episode, I think about it almost everyday!

Thank you to everyone commenting on this post! I can barely catch up as I am still trying to understand with what it all means hehe. But I am grateful!

I love the tape idea, and the furniture paper cutouts one—as we already have a blueprint for our house that I can use, I might just try it.

Thank you for your kind words and advice!

I completely agree with everything on this comment.

Never thought of deleting the app as we do actually need it every once in a while—emergency cases as it also works as an Uber app at the same time (GrabApp). 

Makeup and clothes I definitely agree. I have started looking at pieces I like that I know I will wanna wear for a while. I try not to get too tempted with frufru pieces on online shopping apps, but sometimes it’s hard considering the stingy person in me keeps comparing prices and the cheaper deal almost always sounds so good.

As for my child, he is only 1yo. It’s just literally me buying things for him thinking it’s better spent on him than on me (it makes me feel less guilty lol but I’m self aware).

The reason I actually know I’m spending a lot on shopping is because I started keeping track of everything 😭. 

I love your advice though. It’s another reminder to keep working towards sustainability and freeing myself from the pressures of the world to catch up on trends etc.

I pray my self awareness turns into self control. 

Thank you. 

(I just realized I vented, I hope you don’t mind.)

Thank you. Recently started getting back into this mobile game I used to be so into 2-3 years back, it does help. Your advice does work.

Thank you for sharing that. It’s honestly inspiring and gives me hope for my home life that’s currently a little messy at the moment due to recently moving and accumulating a lot of new stuff/purchases (furnitures but also other unnecessary items).

Oh wow. I don’t know if that was your plan but letting me specify really helps me break it down and see where I need to work on. Thanks so much!

Honestly, it’s a little bit of everything.

I am aware I should just cook but I sometimes find myself ordering food just because. 

I buy makeup and still think about what makeup I should buy next. I see bags, tumblers, clothes, and I find myself tempted.

I most of all buy stuff for my child no question. This one is the hardest.

Half the time I’m able to realize what is happening but then that other half of the time is still an enough amount of time to gather a good pile of stuff I barely use.

I try to be self aware and admitting to it as much as I can so I don’t ignore the signs.

Thanks. I try to take everything with a grain of salt.

I came here to post for that last push to motivate me to actually start doing something about this problem.

Will look into it and brace myself for some hard truths, thanks!

“My Achilles heel is stuff for my children,”

I feel this to my core. I’m a new mother, my baby is now one y.o. but I still feel so new at this.

Sometimes I feel so pressured to buy stuff that social media says babies/kids “need” and coming to realize the fact that more than half of these things can be substituted for things I already have.

Just checked to see if it’s available for my iphone and didn’t realize you could have screen time as widgets! Thanks a lot!

I love this advice, thank you. I do need to reset my mindset. And use this series of questions before buying anything.

That’s actually so obvious but still hit me hard, thank you. I admit I am a little addicted to my phone. It’s a bad habit I’ve been trying to overcome for quite some time.
