How to do more good this year, great habits to add into your busy life

I work full-time, which means I am not always able to make time for everything I want to do.

It also means that I have to figure out ways to incorporate goodness into my daily life, whether it’s combining running errands with hanging out with friends (trip to Walmart + then brunch, anyone?) or sprinkling in a few delightful deeds and choices into each day.

Here are some easy ways to incorporate some good into your busy life.

8 signs you’re not actually ready to move out

8 signs you're not actually ready to move out - Am I ready to move out?

So, you’ve graduated from college. You’ve landed your first, adult, full-time job. You’ve saved some money. Buuut you haven’t exactly moved out yet. By you, I’m totally also talking about me. And possibly also you. Perhaps this is a niche post.

Basically, the idea that once you graduate and get a job you should immediately move out is daunting but really common. Of course, not everyone is able to live at their parents’ house post-graduation and not everyone gets a job that’s close to home. And yeah this idea certainly makes sense, I mean once you have an income and are an adult, moving out feels like the next logical step … but it isn’t always for everyone.

For those (like me) who are living at home, working, and unsure of whether or not it’s time to move out, these things might help you decide if it’s something you’re ready for right now. Here are some signs you’re not actually ready to move out.

How to spend money without feeling stressed and guilty

How to spend money without feeling stressed and guilty - tips for getting better at spending // ew & pt

Whenever something costs more than $10 I have to really think about if I want it. And when it comes to clothes, if something isn’t on sale or marked down in any way, I really hesitate before I purchase it. I tend to feel unreasonably stressed and guilty when I buy most things, even something as simple as a $10 lunch at work. 

I’ve been this way for about as long as I can remember! But recently, I found myself buying things that were full-price or booking trips that cost hundreds of dollars without feeling as guilty or stressed about it.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still a fairly cheap person and it’s still not super easy for me to spend money on things but I think I’ve definitely gotten better at spending over the past few years.

Here are some of my best tips for spending money without feeling guilty and stressed.

Everything to know about that phase of life no one talks about

Everything to know about being in your early 20s and how to cope // ew & pt

What’s up with that phase of life no one really talks about?

The one where you graduated a few months to two years ago and are still sort of trying to figure out when exactly your “crazy, just being an adult living my adult life in a BIG CITY following my dreams hustling but still thriving and traveling” years can and will begin.

I feel like most shows, movies, books, the works, have failed to acknowledge that strange phase. I mean, I understand. It’s not very exciting! But it certainly exists. It’s that gap between “I just graduated from college and I have BIG DREAMS!” and “I am in my 20s and LIVING MY LIFE and making small, but fun, mistakes but I have my own place and am independent and thriving!”

And it consists of a variety of concerns and special moments:
