Stocks or buy some rainforest to save it :)

You can do it through many trusts! Rainforest trust, rainforest rescue (in Peru), amazon watch, amazon conservation team, world wildlife fund, nature conservancy, survival international (works with indigenous leaders which is dope), rainforest action network

They all go about protection in slightly different ways so I recommend reading a bit about them to make sure it works the way you’d want!

Burberry winter coat. I’ve had mine 5 years and it’s still in style. I wear it multiple times per week during the winter. It’s worth it. Or other designer long last pieces like a nice watch

Oooh thanks for all the suggestions! Have a Tag watch so not sure if I want to splurge and get a full upgrade, worth the investment to get a much nicer watch (maybe a AP?) or nah?

Could go much higher than $1-2k in theory but want to be responsible with $$ too. I promise I’m self aware about my privilege but parents gave me a lot of hand me down luxury items growing up so LV bags / Hermès scarves are less appealing to me right now...

I got an Apple Watch and a ted baker coat when I got promoted! Love those two things 😊

Handbag or electronics are good ideas; could also do a (very) fancy meal

I bought myself an LV speedy 25 to celebrate. I’ve always wanted one and am so happy! I think it’s about what item would you happy. I hope you find it.

An ipad or a bunch on cute plants to clean the air in ur house

I love buying myself jewelry or a nice purse that I’ll have forever for a promotion because it’s totally me spoiling myself and there are few times in life we get to do that!

Hey ladies. I had a miscarriage July 2021 and my cycle started back up not long after. Then in January it just stopped. It’s been 3 months without my period and not sure what could be causing it (I’m not pregnant). My diet hasn’t changed and neither has my activity. I run marathons but I’ve been doing that for years now and it’s never impacted my period prior. I have an appointment to see my OB in a week but wondering if any of you experienced this.

Has anyone just been feeling pretty sad and down these past few months? I’ve never really felt this way pre-pandemic but now no matter what I do (workout,talk to friends, yoga) I still feel waves of sadness. I live in a cold city with strict covid lockdowns so I know that that is contributing to my sadness but just wanted to see if anyone else feels like this and how you are coping? I also haven’t traveled or gone on many social outings since last March so Ik that is taking a toll on me as well

But she didn’t offer the weekend (which I feel is included in “this week”), didn’t say “lets do another time” or anything like that. Should I take the L and count her as not rly interested 🥲
