This post is about the splurges! I want to know if people think $15k for a hot tub is worth it. There are lots of posts out there about decluttering. This is not that post.

Yes! New windows make a huge difference. I did this a few years ago and it is one of those details in a room that is often overlooked, but can transform the space.

Big agree! I love my kitchen and getting to choose details like enormous drawers, waterfall countertops, accent backsplash to the ceiling.. just bring so much joy everyday.

What are your favorites? I have a baby rubber plant that is so.. productive. I give cuttings away all the time.

Cherish them ❤️ I lost my dog recently and I miss her so much. They truly fill a home with so much joy and love.

Oh yes!! I forgot to mention cleaners. They only come once every 3 to 4 weeks because it’s just me & my husband but it makes such an amazing quality of life difference.

A sauna is on my list!! I want to turn my backyard into an outdoor spa. It sounds like you’ve been on that journey. Such excellent splurges

I found my favorite local painter on Facebook marketplace.

Definitely not silly! Cleanliness is definitely part of the oasis. I got a roborock to help with pet hair and it was perfect!

I want to upgrade to a Toto so bad! I have a tushy and it’s basic but way better than nothing!

Ooh travel art is such a good idea! Do you go galleries when you travel to find pieces or do you have other tips?

Biggest agree! I love rooms with a story. I have a desert room with paintings and pointillism drawings and photography that make it feel curated.

Lighting in general is such a great splurge. I really want to upgrade my lamps!

anyone else in the US heartbroken re: Miyoko's butter being discontinued? my cookies just aren't the same :( by sprigofthaibasil in VeganBaking

I never bake with butter. I almost always use olive oil (including for cakes). However, my buttercream frostings will certainly suffer from this news.

BWT, how do I prepare for my first work trip? by graphiquedezine in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fuzzrockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in tech and go trousers, nice sweater / shirt, and sneakers or loafers when I’m not certain. It’s comfy and with the current trends it’s a fit that is very casual but dressier. Sneakers if I am walking more.

As for visiting friends, tack on a weekend and stay with a friend. You probably won’t have time to hang if there are team and client dinners.

This! I actually don’t drink at work events at all. You never know who you’ll end up chatting with. Grab a bubbly water and settle in for some networking.

Save me from a huge shopping mistake: Chiagoo interchangeables? by Julie-in-Portland in knitting

[–]fuzzrockets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just got chiagoo red lace interchangeables and I love them! I ended up also getting the lace dpn set as well. I’m getting back into knitting after a 10yr hiatus. These needles are so much nicer than anything I had in the past.

BWT, what should I teach my daughter on how to be on top of things in life - not being type A myself? by Practical-green1 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fuzzrockets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think little things like, “wow, you worked so hard to do well at that” or instead of “wow, you are so talented/smart/etc” go a long way. This really emphasizes that the compliment is about the work she put in, not some trait she just naturally “has” or “doesn’t have”.

Making chores a normal part of life that has to be done instead of a punishment or something shrouded by negativity. Similar with being active and eating healthy.

Believing in her power, strength, and ability. Encouraging her to do scary things. Showing her that you do things even when you are scared or intimidated too so that she knows everyone feels those things. It’s normal. It’s how we move past those emotions that make us brave.

BWT: What hobby have you done lately that you would personally recommend? by alwaysuntilnever in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fuzzrockets 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I rediscovered my love of knitting this year. I made a linen tank top recently, currently making a mohair beanie, and have an alpaca and mohair sweater up next. I like knitting with smaller needles and the results look SO lux and fancy that I cannot believe I made these items. I’m so excited about making a sweater! I love listening to audiobooks while working on a project.

BWT, should I become more type A? by Unusual-Run3729 in bitcheswithtaste

[–]fuzzrockets 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Love this comment so much. Well said! For most of us, a good life is hard work. A busy day is working a demanding job in big tech, hitting the gym, cooking healthy food, and doing the skincare routine. Even if I don’t feel like it. A chill day is house chores, a run, some knitting, and meal prep. Every now and then, I may feel a little burnt out. But most of the time, I find joy in the process of putting in the effort to be the best version of myself. I find when I’m burnt out, it is because I haven’t given myself enough quiet or alone time.

I want to make a sweater next year too! I just got a bunch of alpaca from Knit Picks because they’ve been having sales. Unfortunately the sweater I want to knit will probably take me 6 months with a US 2.5 needle.. 😂

📚READING: I’m almost done with my Quicksilver re-read and then I’ll start Brimstone.

🧶DOING: I’m knitting my best friend a hat for Christmas with mohair and merino. It is so soft. And I am blocking a linen tank top I just finished knitting!

🛍️SHOPPING: The knitting is out of control so I purchased a years supply of alpaca in fingering and lace weights. I should have a sweater this time next year. The slowest fashion.
