buy all the things

i've made a lot of random and not-so-random purchases the last few months of being at home.

  • mumble-mumble TeeTurtle t-shirts (mostly preorders, mostly for C)

  • tea from the place i would normally walk to from the office

  • road id for C's fitbit and the dog's collar. (it's been a struggle to get a medical alert for his penicillin allergy to last, hope this is a good solution.)

  • Turkish towels. which, it turns out, are coming from actual Turkey. (i chose the vendor because they were direct trade, was not expecting it to be _that_ direct.)

  • a lickimat.

  • various hair products - i'm trying to make a commitment to buy from black-owned businesses for my curly hair needs. (the sampler from EcoSlay was nice but not ideal for my hair, the Miss Jessie's Honey Curls is a real holy grail - works great, smells better.)

  • i got a cute dress at Target in the before times. i love it and they still had some so i ordered a few more of the same in other colors

  • fiber from a dyer i like who had to move across the country.


  • plus there have been a lot of actual essential things, and hair dye, and yarn for a blanket.

    what random things have you bought since March?

I went through a long phase of not liking clothes anymore, then bought some super cute stuff from nomadshempwear, especially these.
https://nomadshempwear.com/shop/womens/bottoms/lotus-leggings/

My very favorite purchase: a panel mat for stretching at home. (Also yoga blocks, yoga mat, weights, Chirp wheel, but those aren't so random)

Photography backdrop & mounting for working from home.

Kick scooter. Bungee cords for attaching things to the scooter.

Hammock straps for being outside.

Costume for someday circus act, makeup for someday circus act, even though circus act is very early in the choreo process.

(I also bought really nice earrings, and a print of a lion from a local artist. It's a GREAT time to buy art.)
