If you had $200 to spend on yourself right now, what would you buy? Not for your kids, or donations to worthy causes, or your spouse, or your bills. Assume those are taken care of.

Leggings, duh....
The collapsible proofing box from King Aurthur.
I've been drooling over it since I got the catalog in December.

I've been eyeing up some reactive glaze stoneware from West Elm that I adore but don't *need*. I want to order some Curious Elixr drinks (NA cocktails). I just splurged and bought a pair of Hawaiian leather booties that I am obsessed with but definitely didn't need. New bathroom towels for me and not my children.

I would either buy nice skincare products or some cute clothes. Thing is, I never leave my house.. I wear the same 3 pairs of sweatpants 24/7. So the clothes would just sit in my closet.

I would buy new bras. Mine have seen better days but I hate spending so much money on them.

I have found proofing in the oven with just the light bulb on to be quite successful. In the summer the cabinet above it works great. Our oven is actually too warm with just the light in summer. And then it is too cold in the winter. Our main problem is when we take out starter out to make bread. It's really hard to get a good solid temp to it to feed properly.

I think that I would buy myself a new winter coat. I'm not loving the one that I have.

Gardening stuff. Technically it's for the family, because everyone benefits, but it's kind of my therapy

There’s actually so many things now that I think about it 😆. All of my bras & underwear should really be replaced. But nobody sees them so I always end up prioritizing our budget for other things.

I would get a Stitch Fix. I look better when someone else dresses me.

This is after IG informed me of two friends with kids <4 who are teaching their kids to ski. Ugh. Probably. This year is weird too with timed tickets. So by day I mean half day. But P is still free usually. But will spend on goodies to go with it anyway.

Have you tried using warm water when you feed it? I feed mine straight out of the fridge with warm water and flour and then put it in my laundry room where the boiler is.

I would get my car detailed, it's sooooo grungy. And then if there was any leftover I'd put it toward a massage
