Everything my budget (and maybe some of my friends who know my goals) didn’t let me buy this week!

Fall is here which means winter is closer than we think (or care to think about) BUT that means advent calendars and fun, moisturizing skin care!

I love mini things— why would I feel any differently about mini jams and spreads?! I learned about @bonnemaman_us advent calendars from @_gloyoyo_ and I don’t know if I’ll ever find a more perfect holiday treat!

Also if you have the @shop_peche loafers could you please tap in ? I need them? Yes or yes?

Anyway, if you need me, I’ll be adding to my @fidelityinvestments portfolio instead of my closet for the foreseeable future 🙄 taken in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania by @allybt_

SPOILER ALERT: @youthtothepeople and @remedyskin did make it off of the “to be purchased” list and I don’t regret it!

Budgeting doesn’t have to be hard but it doesn’t have to be strict either. Just another note to self that too much restriction isn’t worth it.

On the bright side, my @ouraring has stopped yelling at me about my sleep debt! More movement and not letting (most) things be too stressful for the win.

How is your Q4 looking so far?! taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

Does being in your thirties mean scouring the internet for hair serums that work?! Big fan of @oneskin.co hair serum!

Took some time to try it out and see if consistent use would work for me! I’ve been pleasantly surprised.

Also sorry to my esthetician for even considering she might have dermaplaned too close to my hairline 😂 you’d never do me like that, queen.

I could eat the OG Blonde Shallot chicken salad every day which is why I had to try and make it myself! It’s like a chicken salad pâté if you can picture that! It’s fluffy and so so good.

Also, add more or less seasoning for your taste! I probably added more than stated in the recipe because I love flavor 💁🏽‍♀️ But cooking is personal— add what you like!

The food processor is the way to go. Truly so simple and easy! I’ll be making this every week for the rest of eternity. taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

Everything I wanted to buy but didn’t…

This is the most self-restraint I’ve shown in a LONG time!
But that @remedyskin azelaic serum is really calling my name! Same with the @athleta raincoat… if you have either let me know if an exception needs to be made

Happy to live vicariously through your shopping— let me know anything you ordered this week and loved! taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

You mean to tell me that paying attention to what I’m spending on and avoiding mindless shopping was the key all along?!

That’s so boring. But fine. I’ll do it.

More walks, more broth, more planning and editing, and finally a budget coming soon.

What’s next, increasing my allocation to my investments??? Actually yeah. But let’s start slow taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

How could she not be my friend when she’s taken such good care of my hair?!

Incredible leave-in, detangler and heat protectant from @abbeyyung and @pantene! My hair is so soft and shiny after just one use.

Excited to continue using it and track my hair health progression! taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

Three months and three areas for improvement with one bonus section because I know there’s probably something hiding in plain sight that is just screaming for change! Q4 accountability loading…

This week alone I found $300+ sitting in subscriptions I don’t use. I remembered a way to get a cheaper @uber. And I added opportunities to increase my step count.

All because I decided this matters to me. If you’re joining me, just screenshot the last slide and use it as your tracker too! Or if it’s helpful I can upload a completely blank version to stories.

This week’s recap is coming! But until then, here’s a glimpse of where I’ve been focused! taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

Because why can’t you change it all in a few weeks (ok, more like 12)?!

Maybe not *everything* but yeah the things that matter enough and are actually worth trying to improve.

While the goals might seem delusional, I’m sane enough to know I need a plan, and getting crystal clear on the what and why have always helped me outline it.

Budget refinement, fitness and nutrition goals, as well as a content plan are all incoming this week. Ready or not, we’re doing it taken in Philadelphia by @allybt_

Nurse, get in here— she’s turning her life upside down in Q4 again!

Something about September, Fall on the horizon and the end of the year so close you can almost touch it, that makes me want to change everything. Or at least the things that I can’t stop thinking about:

- my physical health
- my financial health
- admitting that I want UGC and content creation to play a bigger part

I love a series. I love a challenge. I’m ready to lock the fck in.

In @abbeyyung we trust! Not to mention, I think we can all agree blonde was just not my look (my dry, chemical cut hair agreed as well)

The healthiest, shiniest and strongest my hair has ever been!
