#I also try to avoid candy with peanuts

[chiyana]

For Halloween I like making treat bags for kids that come in three "flavors": chocolate, caramel, and fruit candies (the last one used to be fruit and bubblegum but a lot of parents were worried about the gum so I switched it to just fruit candies). I put a few different kinds of candies in the bags, as well as a couple of toys for the kids like little stuffed animals or plastic figurines (this year was glowsticks and stress balls)

I started with about fifteen of each type of bag this year and this is what I've got left after about three hours

I'm pleased with the turnout of kids this year :)

It’s odd, the way change, good change can alter your mind. There’s something so moving about it, this newfound knowledge that something you thought would last forever was purely momentary.

Take this change for example, the kind that you never expected would arise three months ago. A new friend, a now close friend that was shifting the way you saw yourself and saw the world. A friend you didn’t really think could possibly exist, stuck only in half-realistic novels and 40,000-word fanfictions.

But here was this guy, this thunderstorm of a man who had changed your life in such a short amount of time. Eddie Munson said that you were his new best friend. And he seems, at least for now, to have meant it.

There was nothing like late September, when the humidity let up and light jackets were pulled in tight. A cool breeze started to set in, leaving Southerners at ease for the first time since March. Late September, where life felt even more like a gift.

So, when Eddie asked if you wanted to go on a night drive, you couldn’t say yes fast enough.

He picked you up, even going so far as to lean over and open the door for you. You hoisted yourself up, drawn in by his casual apparel. Tonight, he was dressed in a charcoal sweater, different holes being held together by safety pins. He was snug in his black leggings and boots, wrists still littered with bracelets. Knuckles still shadowed by rings. 

The only thing that felt unusual was the distinct scent of cologne that wafted toward you the second your seatbelt clicked. The sandalwood, that musk tinging with spice. An overflow of fragrance that was making your head a tad fuzzy.

“Wow, you smell good,” were the first words out of your mouth.

“You think so?” he asked, a smile tugging at his lips.

Avoiding the question, you asked, “Where are we headed tonight?”

The last breath of marigold sunset melted in his eyes. “Well, first, we need snacks. Lots of them.”

There was nothing better than a stroll through a QuickTrip, the many aisles usually guiding you to the drink selection that felt like a playground. What would it be tonight? Dr. Pepper? Apple juice? RedBull? Chocolate milk? Strawberry?

But there was something that seemed to switch on for you, standing in that cold air. This trepidation that figures would creep up behind you, shadows that could shatter your life with a quick snap. You went back to your ponderings, as if it was out of your hands. The reflections that came quickly under the fluorescent lights, the recognition that change brought about many emotions, many memories that you’d rather leave buried.

You could feel their presence as you grabbed strawberry milk and made your way to the candy aisle. It was there you caught Eddie crouched down, trying to decide between Reese’s peanut butter cups and 3 Musketeers. The ghosts felt ready to pounce at any chance they got, swirling in your head with a vibrancy you hadn’t anticipated. Months of being tossed around like a rag doll, made to believe that your best friend was a monster. Were complicit in their games. 

“You need to try Red Vines.”

Eddie sprung back up, leaving you to blink for a moment as your eyes adjusted to the pack he thrusted in front of your face.

“Oh, you mean red sticks of chalk?” you wondered, lifting an eyebrow. “Yeah, no thanks.”

He pretended to get upset, jolting back as if you’d stung him. “Jeez, don’t be such a hater.”

“I’m the biggest hater for Red Vines.”

He pouted. “That’s fucked up.”

Shrugging, you threw up your hands. “More for you!” 

“Yeah, but we could’ve enjoyed it together,” he groaned.

“Poor thing,” you said sarcastically, imitating his pout.

His eyes narrowed. “You are brutal, sweetheart.”

Sweetheart?

“Sweetheart?”

He searched your face, his widening eyes mirroring yours. As if he’d been caught. As if he were in trouble. “What, can I not call you sweetheart?”

He said it again.

Heat was starting to build in your neck, your face. “Um, uh…”

Eddie’s eyes screwed shut. “Shit, sorry—”

“No!” you exclaimed. “It’s not that. It’s just—”

“Lame.”

“Gentle.”

His eyelids opened, now surprised. A hush fell over you as you made eye contact, the only sound being his fiddling with the Red Vines packaging and the muffled hum of “Hold Me Now” by Thompson Twins coming through the speakers.

“Uh,” he started, a flash of red appearing on his cheeks. “Is that a bad thing?”

“It’s a good thing,” you assured him. “It’s just…unexpected.”

For the last few months, you truly believed you didn’t know what to think of Eddie. But in that moment, you realized that maybe the chains and the hair and his choice of music and movies had played a part in your blind observations. And it’s not that you thought that Eddie couldn’t be gentle. You just supposed he might be a little harder than he was.

But the way he said the pet name—nickname, the way it fit so softly in his mouth, his voice. You couldn’t help but feel a calmness washing over you at the sentiment. 

“It’s kind,” you answered.

His mood seemed to lift. “So, can I, like, keep calling you sweetheart?”

“Yes—” you said a little too quickly, clearing your throat to pause. “I, uh. Yeah. Yes.”

“Alright,” he replied, a smile lurking on his lips. “Sweetheart.”

You surely could’ve died right there.

During the day, Atlanta was a clusterfuck of traffic, chaos in the lack of turning signals and kindness to let people over. Nothing but honks and just-missed accidents. But at night, even in an overflow of traffic, the city seemed to turn electric. There was something in the air that made it magnetic, the sparkle of office buildings and street lamps guiding you towards your destination with ease. That orange glow that highlighted the path forward, the kind that made you wonder if you’d entered an alternate dimension.

And there beside you was your best friend. You couldn’t love anything more than riding shotgun next to Eddie, watching him belt out the lyrics to a Killers song in between shimmers of light dancing off his profile. “When You Were Young” set the scene for your journey, turning cinematic in nature.

This was so different from the life you knew mere months ago. The long nights of loneliness, staving off any thoughts of the friends that seemed to fade away as soon as you’d made new ones. And maybe it’d been stupid—pathetic—how much you cried. How much you hated yourself and hated the way you’d been used. 

But it was nothing compared to the self-loathing. That knowledge that you had everything to do with the downfall of not just your reputation, but the people who you’d held close. Especially one.

“Hey, you doing okay?” Eddie asked, turning down the volume. The crackle blaring from the speakers was what really caught your attention.

It was stupid, really. The they-said, she-said. The college drama that looked a little too much like high school. Maybe it was in the way outcasts find each other and realize they have too much growing up to do—and that involves recreating the high school experiences they never had. You just so happened to get lost in that crossfire and became the ostracized fool used in their petty schemes. 

You nodded, unable to keep the fake smile on your lips. “Yeah, yeah. Just taking everything in.”

“Care to elaborate on ‘everything’?”

You wondered what you’d tell her if given the second chance. How you’d describe Eddie’s friendship and the way you thought that they’d get along. If she were here, still attached at the goddamn hip, what would she say? How would she act? 

Who is she now?

“Have you ever royally fucked up your life and had to find a way to start over?”

“Uh, yeah,” Eddie drawled, letting out a low whistle. “Big time.” With a gentle sigh and a glance over at you, he asked, “Have I ever mentioned Ronnie?”

“Ronnie?”

“Guess not,” he said with a shrug. “Well, Ronnie and I were best friends in high school. I mean, super close. Like, we lived in the same trailer park and rode to school together every day until, like, two months before she graduated. Ever heard of a prom?”

You snorted. “Yeah, Eddie. I’ve heard of a prom.”

“Just had to check. Didn’t know if Southerners were too busy doing, like, cotillion or debutante balls or whatever.”

Rolling your eyes, you pushed out the memory of hairspray and curlers as you responded, “Well, we do but high schools have proms.”

“Excellent. Well, I kinda asked her to prom and she, you know, said yes.”

“You were dating?”

“Nah. No. It was nothing like that. I just…” He sighed. “I wanted to do something nice for her. Senior year and all. Since I was being held back another year, I wanted to put more effort in. Ron never dated anyone in high school, and it was her choice. Like, she didn’t want to date anyone ever. But I thought that because it was the last chance, I’d do something cheesy and fun. And she said yes which was really cool. I saved up to rent a suit and everything. But come like, fuck, three days before prom, she told me she was going with a group of girls instead.”

Your eyebrows furrowed. “The fuck? Why would she do that?”

Eddie grimaced. “They were all going to the same college. Thinking about it now, I guess she just wanted to have some kinda safety net going in. But, at the time, I was fucking furious. Like, this is my best friend. I spent the little money I’d had on renting a suit. In advance. And there was a cancellation fee. In a small town with fuck all people. Tell me how that makes any sense.” Eddie rolled his eyes. “Anyways, I was pissed. So, I went over to her place and just fucking unloaded.

“I told her she was selfish for trying to fit in with these lame girls who she’d hardly spoken to. Ronnie told me that I didn’t know shit about who she did and didn’t talk to. And when I tried to tell her we’d been best friends since we were kids and that I definitely knew who she did and didn’t hang out with, she told me that she’d been buddying up with these girls at school for months. Oh, and that she never told me because she knew how I’d react.”

“Y’all never resolved it?” you asked after he paused. “It seems like a mild miscommunication.”

“Well, it wasn’t exactly a mild fight, especially at seventeen,” he said with a quick glance over at you. “I told her she was a piece of shit for hanging out with these rich fucks who would never understand her or let go of the fact that we’re ‘trailer park trash’—again, I was seventeen so I had no idea I shouldn’t even think like that.

"But she said that, you know, not all rich kids are as judgmental as I thought they were and that these girls were kind. It didn’t matter if Chrissy and Heather were on the cheer squad. They liked her for her. Guess I couldn’t stomach it. I told her she was a gullible idiot. She told me to fuck off since I was clearly jealous that she had friends and I didn’t. Which is, shit, half-true.

“I told her to get her rich little friends to pay me back for my stupid tux and then to leave my life for good. I honest-to-god convinced myself that that had been her plan all along—get the full-ride scholarship and ditch her best friend. The next morning, I found an envelope with enough cash to cover my tux and Wayne and I’s bills for, like, three months with a note telling me that she’d never forgive me for what I said to her and…to have a good life.” 

You noticed his eyes begin to glass over, as if it was too painful for him to stomach. “And…and there was a note from Chrissy. Chrissy fucking Cunningham, this perfect-looking cheerleader that had the biggest dickhead for a boyfriend—captain of the goddamn basketball team and as hardcore Christian as people are here.” He shook his head. “Yeah, she, uh, told me that she was sorry that people treated me like shit and that, for what it was worth, she’d done everything she could to stop the bullying but failed. And she didn’t want to graduate without letting me know she’d always found me cool and to just push through. Said she believed in me and my music and everything.”

A tear escaped Eddie’s lashes. Without hesitation, you reached over to catch it before it cascaded down his cheek. And without any knowledge as to why, your pointer finger lingered there, brushing his skin. As if it was second nature.

You could’ve sworn you saw his tense posture ease, his spine finally meeting the seat. But he kept his eyes on the road, leaving you to remove your finger when he turned on his blinker. You didn’t look away from him as he veered off onto your exit.  

“I met all those weird kids that next school year and through them found Robin and Steve. Fucking Steve Harrington who was born into money and was popular and shit. I mean, his nickname was King Steve. Like, how fucking pretentious, right? But he’s one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met. Sometimes he’s a little stupid, the definition of a himbo, but nice nonetheless. He helped Wayne and I out the moment he caught wind from Robin that we were close to getting evicted. All three of us worked and got our degrees online at night. Then we…came here.”

You couldn’t help but watch him, noticing the way that he was filtering between different emotions by the second, as if he didn’t know how to feel about it. Even now.

“All of this to say…yeah, I’ve royally fucked up before. I made that bed. I lie in it every day of my life.” 

You stayed quiet as he pulled into the parking space facing your apartment building. The poor excuse for a streetlamp barely gave way to his features now. But Eddie turned his torso to face you, fingers tapping along the cupholder. His eyes found yours, the captivating brown swallowing you in its intensity. “Okay, so what’s your story? How’d you royally fuck things up?”

The only thing you could do was pause, the stillness of the van and the distant hum of cicadas finally allowing you respite. You couldn’t help but search his eyes, trying to find a reason to keep him in the dark, to keep that hidden pain inside and shield him from your mistakes.

But it was in that scouring that you realized that you had no reason to hide. If Eddie was willing to show the nasty parts of himself, why shouldn’t you?

“Can we go inside first?”

One spilled pot of mac and cheese, two cigarettes, and three shots of vodka later, you finally told Eddie what happened.

You both sat criss-crossed on the rug next to your coffee table, facing one another. Stray hairs fell over Eddie’s face, his curls now wrapped into a low bun. You couldn’t help but find it cute, even in the face of your unspoken history being brought to the surface.

“I had kind of a big friend group the last few years of college,” you started finally. “I had this D&D group with a few of them and I was really happy. But then I met this other group one night and, I don’t know, I guess I just felt this desire to be loved.

“It was these two couples who’d been best friends since high school and they found out that I was bi and since all of them were too, they thought it would be fun if we all kissed each other and even, like, go further, I guess. We never did the further thing, though.”

“This is the gayest thing I’ve ever heard,” Eddie commented, a hint of a playful smile on his lips.

This made you chuckle. “I know, right? Truly doomed by the narrative since the start.”

“Truly.” 

“So, anyways, I hung out with them a lot. Smoked a lot and kinda forgot my other friendships. I still saw them, but I was just so intrigued by how much those people wanted me. Me, some girl from Tennessee who hadn’t seen much and was in this huge city and… I think I got blinded by the opportunity to have four different people want me like that. I don’t even think I realized I was being used until it was all over.

“One of them even told me what to say whenever we all hung out. Just to, like, put out feelers for kissing, I guess? And I would say what they told me to and just giggle because I thought it was just stupid fun. Like, they knew the others better than I did so, to me, it was just a harmless joke. I didn’t actually expect for us to kiss all the time. We were supposed to be friends first. I even thought we were all close friends by the end of it.”

“What about your other friends?” Eddie asked. “Where did they go?”

“Well, they were trying to tell me that I wasn’t the same, that I was acting all weird and that it wasn’t like me to keep skipping sessions. They told me that they didn’t even like my new friends and that they were worried about me. That they’d heard bad things about them. And because I had a big mouth, I brought this up with the new friends and they just…” You took a deep breath, trying to keep everything inside you from erupting. “They told me to leave everyone. To forget about people who were hating on us for no reason. So…I did. But that’s when it all went to shit.”

It took another deep breath for your heart to slow, the resurfaced memories as bright as they could be. The feverish kisses in their dorm room, the twining of hands in hallway shadows. Their dark blue hair in your hands, tongue piercing brushing against your lips. How it was all you craved, how it was the most painful guilt you’d ever experienced. 

“The one that asked me to say stuff…we kinda kissed when other people weren’t around. And I didn’t know it, but they’d dated one of my other friends.”

“The one that did the D&D group?”

“Yeah, she’d been my best friend. But they’d dated long before I knew the person.”

“So, what, this new new friend didn’t want you being friends with their ex?”

“And said ex didn’t want me being friends with this new new friend. She was trying to warn me, but I didn’t understand. I didn’t get it.”

“Wait,” Eddie said, holding up his hand. “Okay, I think I’m getting confused. They’ve both got names, correct?”

You couldn’t help but chuckle again. “Okay, so Blake, my best friend at the time, was dating Devon who was part of this new new friend group. Blake tried to warn me that Devon was bad, but Devon was saying the same stuff about Blake. And then Devon was the one I kissed when their boyfriend, Ryan, wasn’t around. Which I admit is shitty of me, but Devon swore they were in an open relationship. Which I really did believe. We were all kissing, you know?”

“I’m guessing they weren’t.”

With a nod, you continued. “This group only lasted, like, five months at the most. After New Year’s which, by the way, was spent with all of us making out and being the gayest group of people on Earth, I suddenly had absolutely no contact with them. They all ghosted me. And when I asked Devon what was up, they told me that the kissing was too much and that they were concerned I was getting too close. And that I wanted more from them than they wanted from me ‘cause they were in a happy relationship.

"Which, not that it matters, but they weren’t. Both couples fought in front of me all the time. It was bizarre how many times it was like I wasn’t even there.”

You couldn’t help but think of the day all five of you went on a hike together. Devon and Ryan passed around a four-hundred dollar dab rig that they thought was a great idea to bring into the woods. Devon slipped on a rock, causing the dab rig to crack which then resulted in a full-on screaming match. Ryan unloaded into Devon, wondering how they could be so stupid. Devon had stayed at your apartment that night, crying in your arms. The other couple, Eve and Corie, had just as many arguments, usually pissing contests over who was more unhappy. It truly was a bizarre time in your life.

“And all this time…I resented the friends that I’d been close with. I resented Blake for so fucking long. I just thought she was so judgmental and rude and mean and…” Shaking your head, you turned away from Eddie. You couldn’t stand to look at him, to remember that he was even listening to you. “I let her down and couldn’t even go back because she didn’t want me. None of them did. Blake, Lisa, Jessie, and Jana told me that what was done was done and that I couldn’t come back. No matter how much I apologized.” 

“They didn’t even hear you out?”

“Nope.”

“Well, that’s kinda bullshit.” The comment made you turn back to him, watching as he shook his head. “I mean, you made some bad friends, yeah, but you realized you fucked up and had the balls to face them and apologize. They could’ve heard you out. Especially Blake.”

“Couldn’t you say the same about Ronnie?” you questioned.

You thought it would sound harsher than you meant it, but Eddie understood. He gave you a half-smile. “Yeah, you’re right. I could.”

Nodding, you added, “I take responsibility for the role I played in the destruction. I regret hurting them every day. Mixing friendship and romance is…” You sighed, shaking your head. “I don’t know. It’s tricky.”

His eyebrows lifted, voice laced with intrigue. “You didn’t mention it being romantic.”

“I said we kissed when Devon’s partner wasn’t there,” you stated plainly.

“Kissing and romance can be separate.”

A bitter scoff left your lips, quiet resentment still sitting in your bones. “Well, maybe I was the only one kissing with feeling then.” 

You never wanted to repeat that desperate yearning for someone that didn’t feel the same way. Never again would you waste your time on someone who didn’t want you. If lines were to blur and cross, you would have to draw a deep fucking strike in the sand. 

Especially if they were already in a relationship.

“I do know I was a homewrecker. I saw they broke up a few months later. All their pictures had been deleted off of Devon’s Instagram.”

“That relationship was unstable long before you came around,” he reasoned.

Shaking your head, you said, “Yeah, but I still kissed Devon when I was well aware they were dating Ryan.”

“And you haven’t stopped beating yourself up for your mistake for how long?”

“A little over a year,” you whispered.

Eddie paused, his eyes wandering around the room until they landed on you again. “So…when you said you were taking it all in…”

“I meant the fact that I actually have a friend again.”

“Best friend.”

As you gazed at him, you couldn’t help yourself from leaning over and wrapping your arms around his neck. 

“Woah,” he whispered before bringing you further into his grasp.

A rush of tears left your eyes, a choking sound leaving your lips. The release of a story once held too tightly to your chest, the understanding and compassion of someone who truly accepted you for your mistakes. It was overwhelming to feel this restored, to feel something unfurl and begin the process of mending. 

“I’m sorry,” you whispered.

“Don’t be,” he whispered back. “I’m guessing you haven’t told anyone?”

“There hasn’t been anyone to tell,” you admitted. 

You realized that this was the first time you’d ever hugged. 

“You’ve made a mistake, but that doesn’t mean you’re a piece of shit. You just got caught up in that feeling. I get it. I mean, I ruined shit by wanting to be picked over other people. It’s not the same, but it kinda is at the same time. So, I get it. I get you.” His eyes shifted away from you before they came back, elation filling them. “But guess what?”

“What?”

“We can move on. Together.”

“What do you mean?” you questioned.

“Well, we can keep each other in check. If you ever lose yourself in someone, I’ll let you know. I’m not going anywhere.”

You couldn’t help but blurt out, “You say that now.”

He lifted an eyebrow. “What, is that a challenge to prove you wrong?”

As you looked at him, you couldn’t deny that something was bubbling in your stomach. Bubbling? Blooming? Whatever it was, you liked it. “I don’t know, do you want it to be?”

“Yeah, maybe I do,” he stated, grinning.

And then Eddie was the one to initiate the hug, quickly wrangling you into his arms. You nearly sat on his lap, just holding one another. You couldn’t say how long you sat there, breaths lining up and grips tightening. 

Maybe looking back was the only way you could truly see how far you’d come. How far you were able to go now, with the past staying exactly where it needed to be. And, at least for now, you had Eddie at your side.

thank you to everyone who has been supporting me during this hiatus :') it has meant everything to me

Nancy Clothspin / Coil Puppington

Context: Clay brings Coil to the office for the first time since hiring his new assistant, Nancy ( @bread-sheeran ).

Clay sat Coil down in the chair just outside his office, patting the boy’s head absentmindedly. He glanced around the room, seeing no sign of his well meaning but useless assistant, grumbling to himself. He was too sober to care - hoping in the back of his mind she had quit - instead turning his attention back to Coil.

“You stay here and play, peanut.“ He instructed before stepping inside his office and closing the door.

Coil sat in the chair for a while, swinging his legs as he glanced around the familiar space. He got up after a few minutes, climbing into the folding chair in front of the folding table. He picked up a piece of paper that, to his five year old brain, didn’t look important and began to make paper airplanes.

He tossed them about, watching them soar and disappear around corners or crash onto the floor. Just as went to make another one, he heard someone cry out. He looked up, seeing a young woman round the corner rubbing her eye. Their eyes met, both widening and freezing in place.

Nancy was the first to break eye contact, glancing back and forth to try and see if there was an adult around. When she saw none, she looked back at the toddler sitting frozen at her desk.

“Uh.. are you.. lost?” She asked.

Coil hesitated before shaking his head.

“Well.. where are your parents?”

She did NOT apply for a babysitting position.

Coil blinked, pointing to the closed door of Clay’s office. Nancy followed his little hand before looking back at him.

“Mayor Puppington didn’t have any meetings on his calendar today-“ She muttered.

At least, she didn’t think he did.

Coil shook his head again which only served to confuse Nancy more.

“Okay.. well, what’s your name?”

Coil stared at her.

Creepy.

“Uh.. can you.. talk?”

Coil stared at her.

Creepy fucking-

“Okay! Well! Come on” you little child of the corn “let’s go find your parents.” She walked toward him and lifted him by the armpits and held him out stretched from her.

Coil continued to stare at her but he looked more terrified now. He kicked his little feet in a desperate attempt to get down but alas, it was no use. She carried him down the hall to the main lobby, trying to avoid his big lamb eyes.

She reached the front desk and set him down on it, “Hey uh.. this kid was at my desk, I don’t know where his parents are.”

She explained to the elder woman running the front desk. The old woman glanced up from her newspaper and perked up when she saw Coil.

“Coil, sweet heart!” She cheered, digging through her purse to give the boy old candy that she probably also offered baby Jesus, “What are you getting into now, hm?”

“So is he.. yours?” Nancy asked.

“Oh, heavens, no! He’s Clay’s boy.”

Nancy’s head drew back a bit in confusion, “Mayor Puppington reproduced?”

Wasn’t he gay?

“Yes, he’s got three boys. I would bring him back to where you find him before Clay notices he’s missing.”

Nancy’s brows furrowed, a bit confused as to why that would be a problem. The only thing Clay seemed to notice was booze. None the less, she lifted Coil off the desk again in the same way and carried him back to the office. She set him down on the floor and for a long, uncomfortable twenty seconds they just stared at each other.

“Well- uh.. do you.. want.. a drink?” She asked, rubbing the back of her neck.

Coil nodded, still holding the candy in his little hands.

“What do you want? Uh.. high ball?”

Coil stared at her and she stared back.

“Water?”

Coil nodded.

Great. Now she was a babysitter.

She returned with a glass of water for Coil and gave him a few pieces of blank paper and a pencil for him to doodle with. The second she say down, Clay flung the door open.

“Nancy why is my flask empty?”

Probably because you drank it.

“Sorry, sir, I’ll get right on that.” She sighed, getting up and taking his flask.

“You keep an eye on that for me, Coil, make sure she doesn’t slack off, hm?” Clay beamed, ruffling Coil’s hair which only caused Nancy to sigh again.

Good to know her boss trusted a toddler more than her.

aita for eating peanut candys in my room even if my brother is allergic?? my brother moved out of the family home to go to university a year ago. he comes home once every couple of weeks. sometimes i come home just to randomly see he has dropped by. he is allergic to peanuts. like, "gets sick from the smell and can die if he eats them" allergic. we had a ban on *all* nuts for years in the house because of the risk of cross contamination. i was not a fan of this, but you try explaining to a mom who had to rush her kid to the hospital how you should be allowed nutella if you keep it separately. the rules have relaxed a bit in terms of bringing other nuts in. so, i bought some reese's cups. i will basically eat one every 1-2 weeks. i am very careful to get rid of the wrapper right away, and wash my hands. i have never triggered an allergic reaction. my mom went to throw something out, found the wrappers, and got mad. she knows it was me that ate it, becasue i am the only one who likes peanuts that much. she yelled at me saying i am putting him at risk. but i do not think what i did is that bad? he and i do not share a room, i doubt he has even come into my room in the last 6 months. i clean up after myself. he also goes out with his roommates, who will eat his other major allergy (fish) right in front of him. he has told the whole family he does not bring his epi pen anywhere these days. i have also gone to friends' houses before, eaten peanuts, then come home and just avoided breathing on him for a while. he knows that i eat them, he has told me it is fine. so aita for thinking this is not a big deal and my mom is overreacting? should i be more worried about his allergy than he is?

What are these acronyms?

[deliciousstrangeobject]

So the previous poster had tags of "I couldn't give out any candy with peanut butter in it because of the outbreaks".

WHICH UNLOCKED MY SPECIAL INTEREST so here we goooo

Today, children, we're going to learn about something called The Peanut Corporation of America. See, in 2008, the PCA was the largest American provider of candied peanut butter, which is just peanut butter mixed with powdered sugar. That candied peanut butter is why your homemade Reese's or Nutter Butters taste a little different than the real thing. (And it's super easy to make, protip, you're welcome.) So that candied peanut butter has a ton of regulations to it, as it should, because peanut butter is prone to salmonella if not processed properly. And in 2008, this PCA corp sickened a bunch of people.

So what happened, it turned out, was the Food Safety Coordinator of the PCA, Mary Wilkerson, emailed her boss, Stewart Parnell, and said "Yo boss, we can't sell this batch of peanut butter. It's got hella salmonella in it." And that boss went "Mary, if you want to keep your job, you're going to sell it anyway. It's fine. People are resilient. And that recall is way too much money to lose, so sell it."

And then ~750 people got sick *and nine people died*.

Now, when this happened, it resulted in the then-largest food recall in the United States, involving 46 states, over 360 companies, and over 3,900 different products! Because this was a small but key ingredient in a ton of things! And because of regulations at the time, these people *went to fucking jail*.

Mary? Five years, because she was a foot soldier who nonetheless did not do her job well enough to stop this from happening. Stewart, the CEO? 30 years. His brother, the VP? 28 years. Yep, these two dudes are still in prison.

But what does that have to do with today?

Weakened regulations have allowed these two motherfuckers to almost-successfully file that they shouldn't have gone to jail *for killing nine and sickening 750* because "we only broke a regulation, it should be a fine". A fine. For getting hundreds sick and killing nine people. All because they failed to self-regulate properly. Mary WAS the self-regulator. That's what a Food Safety professional DOES. She went to jail for NOT seeing the fuckery going on and calling the FDA/USDA on them, because that WAS HER JOB. So weakening the self-regulations of the slaughterhouses is essentially giving us more Mary's of the world, but now they won't go to jail for not doing THEIR JOB.

The Human Face of the PCA Salmonella Outbreak | Food Safety News

These motherfuckers are ALSO trying to lobby to GET OUT OF JAIL EARLY because "weh, we're old, we're tired, but we're not sorry". Yeah? Tell that to the old, tired folks who FUCKING DIED eating your poison candy!

"B-B-But deliciousstrangeobject! They were old! They should have known not to eat anything that could hurt them if they were elderly and thus immunocompromised!"

Sure. Except they weren't eating raw oysters, which comes with that warning and is thus something that can sort-of be reasonably avoided. They were eating homemade things, like a peanutbutter cookie made from a grandchild. Or a PBJ sandwich. And also, peanut butter is a recognized healthy snack for immunocompromised folks because of the vitamin E that's supposed to help boost your immune system. And all of the peanut butter used was commercially packaged, which is assumed safe, *because of the regulations*.

What does all this have to do with Trump?

The above post mentioned the Boar's Head recall, a recall that is just as extensive as this one. 7 MILLION pounds of stuff have been recalled for listeria. That's wild! Two people, as of July, have died! And there's no call yet on if any of this is going to result in a change of regulation or not. I'm hoping that's because it's too soon to tell. But we don't yet know.

The weakening regulations are a problem because that implies that we believe that the honor system will stop something like this from happening again. But as we've seen time and again from problems like this, these corporations have lawyers specifically hired to find loopholes in laws like this to avoid jailtime. And the less regulations there are, the wider those loopholes get, and the easier these bastards can slip through. Mary was the honor system. She failed it. Others will, too.

Regulations are written in blood. They are formed because people had to die for them to be recognized as things that needed to be regulated. And easing those regulations is spitting on the graves of those who died because of greedy motherfuckers. And sure, maybe Boar's Head isn't full of greedy motherfuckers, and this was an oversight that turned deadly. Okay, that happens. But manslaughter is a criminal charge for a reason, it forces people to be careful or to face the consequences of their actions. And weakening regulations makes it so the consequences are just "bad press for a while".

Bad press doesn't prevent the dead.

TL;DR: Food Safety Important, Vote Kamala.

Headlines across eight years. Who you vote for really does matter. None of these headlines delve into the Boar's Head listeria outbreak because I can only post ten photos in one post. But the slaughter house self regulate headline? Yup, that's why.

[lambyexistsirl]

i saww my frriends talking about cutting out sugar in theirr diet and it inspired me to use this blog for like jotting down daily diet and whatnot

This is very long, so yeah. be warned.

Lamby is a person who deals with some immunity and health issues,, ((more simply,, autoimmune)) so what i eat effects my mood and health a lot more than it probably should

i don't want to completely cut out sugar, because whenn i did that i got really weak and dizzy all the time and it really didn't seem like it'd be lessening

Right noww,, I still eat things with sugar, but I don't eat specific sugary things which include:

- candies ((this is more of a preference thing tbh))

- corn syrup/high fructose corn syrup

- sugar substitutes from chemical origin

- too many flavourings, preservatives, or colourings.

<- a lot of these r in basically everrything nowdays so i just try my best to lessen/avoid it

mainly because it causes issues which i think outweigh the hassle of looking through food labels. I know some people will have seizures when eating these things, but for me personally I've never had that issue. It just makes me cough up way too much phelgm and makes it harder to think(?) so even if it's only that I still don't feel good after eating it so I'd ratherr not

The things with sugar I DO eat:

- rice <3

- biscuits, yoghurt, chocolate/peanut butter ((and not all the time,, just sometimes if i feel like it))

- soy milk ((in different flavours sometimes,, again if i feel like it))

- baked goods, but not as often as rice since rice is a more daily thing

Of course I have exceptions, like when I go out I sometimes get a drink, maybe boba or something. Or when I'm ordering at a restaurant I'll get something I don't usually eat. I also chew on chewing gum almost daily, which uses Xylitol as a sugar substitute ((i don't have any pets so it's not much of a worry ^^b)) and take a particular liking to herbal candies as a sort of breath mint.

Generally, I find that I'm still able to choose the things I enjoy without stressing too much, since there are many alternative options which taste as good and are more fitting for my dietary preferences

------

I strive to eat foods that make me feel fulfilled and good after eating, and I'm trying my best to eat meals which don't make me feel hungry or too bloated after eating

I've found that for me, I lean heavier on proteins ((meat, egg, etc)) to make me full and need green vegetables to make it feel complete and balanced

Pickled radish and miso soup are my favourite side dishes, and if I'm able to I'll usually have it with my meals

Putting in more variety definitely helps with that feeling of unfulfillment

while not forcing myself to finish a plate or eat all the leftovers can help with that feeling of being too full

knowing what works best for you takes a while to learn, but i wish anyone working on that to have a safe and healthy journey doing so <3

I've written this as less of a guide, but more as sharing my experiences with eating ((as someone with stricter dietary needs)) and what has worked best for me, and to give ideas or insight on what others may or may not want to do for themselves

in the end, the one who knows what works best for you, is you, and i sincerely hope that everyone can have meals they enjoy and are healthy for them !!!!

How to Choose the Best Snack Items for Any Occasion

Choosing the right snacks items for any event can feel like a big task, but it doesn't have to be. Whether you're hosting a party, planning a picnic, or just setting up a movie night at home, the right snacks can make everything better. Here’s how you can pick the best ones without overthinking.

1. Think About the People

The first step is to know who you are feeding. Are your guests kids, adults, or a mix of both? Kids usually enjoy things like popcorn, chips, and cookies. Adults might prefer healthier options like nuts, cheese platters, or crackers with dips.

Tip: Always ask if anyone has allergies or food restrictions.

2. Match the Occasion

Not every event needs fancy food. For example:

Movie night: Go with easy-to-eat snacks like popcorn, nachos, or candy.

Birthday party: Finger foods like mini pizzas, fries, and cupcakes work well.

Office meeting: Think clean and simple – maybe some granola bars, dry fruits, or tea biscuits.

The goal is to serve snacks that fit the vibe of the event.

3. Balance Taste and Health

Snacks don't always have to be junk food. A good mix of tasty and healthy options is always a win. Try combining:

Sweet and salty

Crunchy and soft

Healthy and fun

For example, you could serve fruit skewers next to a bowl of chips or include a yogurt dip with vegetable sticks.

4. Choose Easy-to-Serve Options

When you're picking snacks items, go for things that don’t make a mess. Avoid foods that need spoons or plates unless it’s a sit-down event. Think:

Bite-sized items

Foods that don’t drip or spill

Snacks that can stay fresh without heating

This makes cleanup easier and lets everyone enjoy without trouble.

5. Plan the Right Quantity

Too little and people go hungry. Too much and you end up wasting food. A simple rule is:

3–5 small snack choices for a small group

5–7 choices for a larger gathering

Make sure to keep a mix, so everyone finds something they like.

6. Don’t Forget the Drinks

Even the best snacks items need something to go with them. Always include:

Water

A sweet drink (like juice or soda)

A hot drink (like tea or coffee, depending on the time)

7. Try Something New (But Not Too Risky)

It’s always fun to add a surprise snack to your table. This could be a trending food item, a recipe you saw online, or something from another culture. But don’t go overboard—make sure you still include familiar favorites.

Trying one new item adds excitement, without making guests feel unsure about what to eat.

8. Keep It Seasonal and Fresh

Freshness matters a lot when it comes to snacks items. Use ingredients that are in season. For example:

In summer, go for cool options like fruit salads, cold sandwiches, and iced beverages.

In winter, consider warm snacks like mini samosas, baked goodies, or roasted nuts.

Seasonal snacks not only taste better but are also easier to find and more affordable.

9. Budget-Friendly Choices Work Too

You don’t need to spend a lot to offer good snacks. Some low-cost snacks items that work for almost any occasion include:

Homemade popcorn with different toppings

Boiled or roasted peanuts

Cucumber and carrot sticks with a simple dip

Toasted bread with butter or jam

Simple snacks, when served nicely, can feel just as special as expensive ones.

10. Presentation Makes a Difference

Even the best snack can look boring if it’s not presented well. Use trays, bowls, or even small jars to serve. Add a few napkins or toothpicks to make things cleaner and easier.

Neat presentation shows you put thought into your snacks, even if they are simple.

A Quick Checklist Before You Serve

Before your event starts, quickly ask yourself:

Are the snacks fresh?

Is there enough variety?

Did I cover sweet, salty, and healthy options?

Are there drinks to go with them?

Is everything easy to eat?

Final Thoughts

Choosing snacks doesn’t have to be hard. Just keep it simple, tasty, and thoughtful. When you plan ahead and mix a few options, your guests will enjoy the food and the moment. Remember, great snacks can turn an ordinary moment into something special.

Fun Facts about Sapphina

I still don't have a ship name/title for her with anyone despite having complicated histories and AUs for her to fall into

She is a gremlin when eating pie. peanut butter, and sunflower seeds. Never using a plate or making everyone who can see her uncomfortable

She wears a black tank top and black jeans with a red scarf tied around her waist (one that she traded with Zapp for her old white jacket [the one he currently wears])

She also has a pair of black gloves for her "weapon" as both gloves have a small pin at her wrist

She has nearly completely mastered the fire manipulation to the point the flames are blue (and she doesn't require a lighter or other source of fire)

Unfortunately she isn't very skilled with Crimson Orb Weaver or blade forming

The only other fighting skills she has is hand-to-hand melee (to the point that she can briefly disarm Raju for a few seconds)

While Raju does respect Sapphina for these successes, he is also extremely critical over her short comings, though he does show favoritism toward her over Zapp and Zed

She has a tendency to act like the cool older sister toward everyone, except Zapp sometimes as he is the reason for her sisterly behavior (everyone else makes it much easier to be chill, save for Steven sometimes who lowkey hates it because its coming from Sapphina and feels patronizing)

She has always liked tattoos and keeps adding more to her arms, legs, and back mostly. She loves showing them off (for the most part) and goes out of her way to do so

Raju was the one who gave her her first tattoo (the stars and moon around her neck) among others she had before joining Libra (coiled dragon, Saiyan royal crest, and Fairy Tail guild crest)

Raju is very critical about the tattoos she's gotten from others because he thinks tattoos are a very specific art form that only someone close to a person should do (something about only certain people can leave a mark on someone else and maybe a little jealousy that he is her Master [Sensei/Teacher] yet she goes to others for tattoos)

She and Zapp are always fighting over something, but no one believes that Sapphina starts fights

The only time Klaus and Steven remember Sapphina starting a fight was over Zapp trying to steal her white leather jacket

Her self-soothing method is hard-tac candies and lollipops since she refuses to smoke or drink excessively

Her favorite flavor is root beer, though apple/green apple is her second favorite

Her relationship with Zed is very lowkey, from when they first met up until they actually get together (some due to Sapphina's insecurities and getting in her own head, some from Zed not having the experience with his emotions)

When they first met, Zed first saw Sapphina yelling at Zapp for being rude and unfocused while Sapphina first saw Zed helping double down in a similar way (unlike Chain who goes too far with her bullying)

The only person she is perfectly okay with bullying Zapp (besides herself) is Leo since Zapp is starting it and Leo is only standing up for himself

When Zed goes through the loneliness existential crisis, Sapphina does try to reach out and be there for him, but he metaphorically stabbed her while drunk (saying how she choose to be different and missing the point of what Sapphina is saying) before being attacked by the agents

That sends Sapphina on an odd spiral (because she was the last person to talk to Zed before he was attacked) and leads to one of the few times she drank too much

Leo found her while she was half drunk and trying to buy a pie (cause it would pair with her feels) and couldn't bring himself to leave her alone. Instead escorting her home and helping her bake off the pie so she didn't get hurt

Sapphina drunkenly rambled at Leo that night about how the altercation she and Zed had hurt her feelings and triggered the complicated swill of emotions she had.

Leo tells Zed about this a week or two later because Sapphina was somewhat avoiding him (and Zed's guilt was flaring up/eating at him)

This whole situation is not quite set in stone in terms of relationship because I haven't decided if it would hurt more if they were dating or not and I plan to write it for both situations and leave it at that (multiple choice style or maybe just having the AU scenario for fun like the different dating options)

Sapphina is a total nerd but no one would ever guess that (despite the anime inspired tattoos) as she usually doesn't talk about her interests and hobbies unless directly asked (something everyone at Libra has failed to do until Leo showed up)

She is nearly at Gilbert levels of blending in the background around the office because she usually just relaxes (until Zapp does a stupid to disrupt the peace... except when he attacks Klaus, then she just silently judges her brother)

Both she and Zapp half freeze and deter to the other whenever they call each other "Brother" or "Sister" respectively

Sapphina uses this far more than Zapp does as its the fastest way to get Zapp to behave

[lucygraysboy]

“thank you, doll. both you and my ma are to blame for that.” for who he is today. “yeah, ‘cause we take playwriting classes together and there’s only eighteen people in our group so it’s impossible to avoid blair the grinch. but i guess that’s life, right? you sometimes have to spend time with people you don’t particularly like.” comes an honest answer, followed by a sweet smile and a shrug. it’s no big deal. “alright, glad we’ve got that settled early on and that we agree on three,” he laughs, melting into a puddle the longer he dwells on the possibility of a future like that — just them and their babies. “do we want them to be close in age?” they’ve had this conversation before, countless times while playing house, but he can’t help himself. it’s his favorite thing in the world. daydreaming with her. “hey, no… froot loops are my friends. they don’t rot my insides. if they’re so bad, why don’t they hurt my belly, huh?” huffing as he turns into a froot loops’ defense attorney, billy picks up the familiar red box again and turns it over to scan the list of ingredients. “mmm, maltodextrin! don’t know what it is, but it sounds absolutely delicious,” he muses, sarcasm heavy in his voice, pale blue eyes widening the longer they linger on the small text on the side. “red 40, yellow 5 and 6, blue 1. it’s a wonder i don’t glow in the dark.” which could be a possible side effect of having this radioactive mix for breakfast almost every single day. “but look, here it says, vitamins and minerals.” he points his finger to the bolded letters, brows furrowing in confusion. how can it have both?

“and didn’t god also create froot loops?” he inquires seriously, struggling to keep his composure when lucy gray goes on a rant about god’s creations and fake food, it takes him back in time to when he was just a little boy and she’d lecture him like this at least once a day. his heart soaring sky-high, ocean hues brimming with nothing but sheer admiration, he even finds himself nodding absently in agreement. she’s so cute when she’s all worked up like this. “well, yeah, but also back in the day, a lot of diseases went undiagnosed due to the lack of resources. not enough doctors with proper training. if you were infertile, it was god’s will. if you had cancer, it probably went undiagnosed until it was too late. and i don’t think they even knew what adhd or autism were. they labeled those people as crazy, put them in institutions and went on with their lives.” he wouldn’t be himself if he simply agreed with her. he has to try and rile her up, coax another rant out of her. 

“i don’t think i’ve ever had organic froot loops.” thinking out loud, he finds himself nodding along to her little lecture. after all, there are things that even he can’t argue with. he inspects the box that she’s holding, doesn’t spot any strange ingredients and figures he’ll have to remember to only buy this kind in the future. “cocaine and bad food equal each other? does that mean we’re skippin’ mcdonald’s tomorrow and findin’ ourselves a local dealer instead?” he teases with a laugh, loving how passionate she is about eating healthy, impressed by how much she knows on the subject. “the blue one,” he repeats, but this time doesn’t argue, couldn’t when she’s smiling at him so sweetly. he simply puts the jar of jif’s peanut butter back on the shelf and reaches for the one called richard’s. 100% peanuts. sounds promising, he thinks, handing it to lucy gray before pushing the cart farther down the aisle. candy. he’ll make sure to find organic gummy bears so she doesn’t take them away. “i mean, since you want to have my babies, guess i need to make sure they don’t grow up fatherless and crippled,” he deadpans, struggling to remain serious for a second longer. “you’re the cutest, pajarita. you know that, right? an actual angel.” even when she tells him to save the pie for tomorrow. “hey, what’s that? did i spot a paparazzo?” laughing when she pulls out her phone and takes a picture of him, he makes sure to beam at the camera. it’s followed by a series of goofy faces, his tongue out, eyes crossed, beanie pulled halfway down his face, to give her some extra footage. “aww, look at yourself! my new lock screen.” and he does just that, sets the photo of lucy gray with the biggest smile on her lips, hands forming a heart, as his brand new lock screen, then shows it to her, seeking approval.

“well, i am proud you are that guy.” she replies honestly, not afraid to admit that part. “you have to spend more time with them?” lucy gray wonders, after catching how he said that part. “that works too.” the brunette amusingly smiles, she wouldn’t mind that either. “i don’t care if they’re delicious, they’re rotting your insides. especially if your eatin’ them everyday.” she shook her head, she was very big on eating from the earth and growing her own things. when she couldn’t eat her own garden in the winter or at inconvenient times like now, she always tried to eat whatever is the healthiest at the store.

“god didn’t give us wholesome foods to fill our bodies with fake food. yes it does affect our bodies. what we eat is important. does a flower blossom and grow if you feed it bad stuff? it don’t, right? it doesn’t flourish at all. our bodies work the same way. food dyes and the same ingredients they put in bleach does affect our health and future children— why do you think things like cancer, infertility, adhd and autism were lower back in the old days? oh, cause there wasn’t all this processed food dye crap.” her brow perks, giving him a knowingly look.

“besides that…organic food is tastier anyway.” so she doesn’t see what the big deal is. she takes this box of cereal he chooses and stands up in the cart to throw it back on the shelf, getting down the organic version of froot loops. switching the back over. “colored pretty with natural things AND made with real sugar. and with a total of eight ingredients opposed to that box…” the kelloggs she points at, “that has like FIFTY ingredients just for cereal. mmhm.” smiling triumphantly, sitting back down and placing the organic cereal in their cart. “oh, cocaine and bad food probably equal each other.” cocaine probably is safer at this point. grinning at the kiss beneath her eye, her heart picking up every time he comes close to her like that, hands that placed on his cheeks slip away when he pulls back to grab peanut butter.

“no…not that one darlin’. go with the natural one, that’s called richards. in the blue jar.” she sweetly smiles, at least he’s trying. she appreciates that. “oh, but when you listen to me about eatin’ healthy— you’ll have the strength of hulk to build one hundred bird feeders. you can get pie, but save it for tomorrow.” so his system doesn’t overload on so much sugar in one sitting. when he takes a picture of her, lucy gray smiles for it and holds a heart shaped sign up. once it snaps, she gets the idea to get the other point of view for her instagram and camera roll so she takes out her phone and turns it on her camera app to get a picture of him rolling the cart like a mom.

the immediate switch from junkorexie to ortho is wild. (numbers below- slight vent)

how did i go from eating 700 of protein and junk food everyday to eating 1200 and buying like healthy food and avoiding junk is easy again.

its either this new strain or that i just got off my period.

i do feel sm better tho hopefully i can keep this up even when my period hits.

anyways gonna rant about the changes ive made rq

first off ive gotten lemon juice and started drinking lemon water again (like 2-3 liters a day). ive gotten really into tea lately and i think ill invest in some (i get free drinks at the cafe i work at. so many tea and coffee varieties) ive been taking supplements that actually help instead of just taking whatever im familiar with.

ive always had a thing for protein; eggs and protein powder are my favs. ive also branched out into other proteins like nuts, greek yogurt (finally found one i really like. the flavor is so bland lol) tofu, and greek yogurt. i rarely consume any meat which honestly i love it i wish i could, but the way its cooked and processed is so blah.

along with protein, ive also gotten really into fiber as well. i put unflavored fiber powder in my protein shakes and ive been eating more foods with fiber. greens and dates mostly (dates taste like vanilla ice cream if you havent eaten it in a few years lol) some nuts too but i have a peanut allergy and the brands that dont use peanut oil to roast their nuts get pricey. also hella apples lol its great when they taste like apple juice

ive also found lowcal snack foods i enjoy. ive always been avoidant of trying new candy, but trolli gummies and butterscotch hard candies are super yum and cheap too if you find them at the right places.

condiments. idk those are scary for me, but ive recently learned how to make my own with greek yogurt. i used to not like mustard, but ive found that i really do like it. idk i avoided it for a bit i think my tastebuds just evolved.

anyways wake and bake just did the zap thing to my brain so thats all for now lol

I get really frustrated when I see people characterizing impulse buys as "self-care".

Self-care isn't buying something unhealthy with a high unit price because you have a food craving when you look at it in line to check out at the cashier. Self-care isn't buying an overpriced, crappily-made piece of clothing that you don't need and will rarely wear.

Self-care is making sure you are well-fed to begin with so that you don't have the food craving to begin with.

Self-care is buying something that is both tasty and healthy. Don't buy that coffee drink or candy bar.

Self-care is buying clothing or shoes that are comfortable, practical, and well-made. Stuff that both looks good and feels good, that meets a need in your life, and that will continue looking and feeling good for many years of use.

Companies work really hard to try to get people to make impulse buys that are basically a rip-off. The item is itself typically junk (low-cost to produce, examples would be candy, sweetened coffee drinks made with various syrups, or fast fashion) and also overpriced for what it is (often when there is a whole bag of them for sale in the back of the store for a lower unit price, or with clothing or shoes, a ton of them for a fraction of the price in thrift stores or for sale like-new on Poshmark.)

People underestimate just how much these impulse buys can affect your finances. For one there's the simple fact that you're paying more for something you could get much cheaper if you shopped around and bought it more mindfully.

Also, in many cases the purchase itself doesn't even help you. If you're eating empty calories, it isn't actually nourishing your body. You will be just as hungry later, and you may have harmed your health. Medical expenses tend to be much more costly than food. You may actually be costing yourself more in the long-run by buying and eating junk. Impulse-bought clothes may just take up space in your closet until you give them away or throw them out, or they might decrease your quality-of-life like uncomfortable shoes or clothing that looks good but is too cold or too warm for when you'd want to wear it, or they might just wear out super fast.

Because the purchase itself is somewhere between near-worthless and actively harmful, you often end up just as needy in the long-run so you end up spending more because of the impulse buys.

If you really want to use "retail therapy" as self-care, try to think holistically. I definitely treat myself to luxuries sometimes. For example I might splurge on salmon, a fish that is expensive but healthy (high in omega 3 and vitamin D, two nutrients most people are deficient in.) Or I might buy myself a new pair of sneakers, a model that I know is super comfortable and well-made, in a color I like.

Ways to break out of impulse-buying cycles:

Journal and write down when during the past week you have had food cravings and made impulse food purchases. Go out and buy healthy snacks such as nuts and fresh or dried fruit, and pack and carry them with you so you have food on hand in those situations where you made impulse buys before. Alternatively, batch-cook and pack freshly-made food items in a container and then eat them when you get hungry so you aren't hungry when faced with foods to impulse buy. You can save incredible amounts this way. A $2 container of peanuts at ALDI could last you for weeks as you snack on it and avoid buying $20 or more worth of junk food from vending machines.

Do an inventory of your wardrobe and shoes and accessories, and write down any gaps in it. Start looking proactively for things that you need but don't have. Go to thrift stores, and/or shop for them used online, or better yet, look for them at clothing swaps or in local online groups where people give free items away. Go into retail stores before you are desperate for an item, and try items on but think carefully about the price. If something is what you want, but expensive, right down the brand and model and then shop for it online, or go back to the retail store later in the season to see if it went on clearance.

Journal and reflect on anything else you impulse-bought, and try to replicate the same process of the above things. Was the buy meeting a craving or need in the moment? If so, find a more sustainable, cheaper way to satisfy that need long-term. Also for any durable / non-perishable goods you sometimes impulse buy, do an inventory of what you own and what you need, and then when out shopping, keep an eye out for what you need and avoid things (or at least get much more selective about price and quality) for the things you don't need.

A lot of breaking out of impulse buying is about changing how you think about buying things and about self-care.

Buying things can be a form of self-care but there is a right way to do it. The right way thinks both about price and about the effect of the item on your life, and involves only buying things that both improve your life and have a good price.

Learn to feel good about passing up expensive items. See that shirt that you just tried on and looks fantastic on you, but that has a tag of $54, and then think about those two similar shirts you bought for $8 each in a thrift store recently. Think about how you could buy 6 shirts for the price of that one. Your $54 is worth more than that shirt. You want that money, you love having that money in your account. You love being financially secure, financially stable. That is way more important to you than getting that shirt you don't even need.

You feel good passing up the item. That's how you break out of impulse buys.

Season's Greedings, 2023!

Every year I try to post my Greed List (What I want for Christmas" which includes the even more vital "Do Not Want" list.

Do Want:

1. A functional dishwasher.

We have one, we've had it serviced several times, and I don't think it's ever going to properly wash dishes again. It needs to go away, a new one needs to be installed, and I have terrible decision fatigue about figuring out which one I want. I want it to wash dishes. I don't even fully understand the choices I'm faced with.

You can contribute in one of the following ways: cash or electronic transfer donations to the dishwashing fund, solid recommendations for a specific make and model, or bad "features" I should avoid.

2. Laundry on-site: I own a washer and a dryer. The washer is down in the basement, but has nowhere legit to drain. The dryer is still at my neighbors' house, in the garage.

You can either be part of the team to bring the dryer home and set it up, or throw some cash at the plumbing problem, or offer assistance to solve the plumbing problem.

Those are the Big Things. Here's the little stuff:

A handcrafted card. I'm a sucker for those, and it will be kept, treasured, and probably displayed every year for a long time.

BJD shoes. All my dolls have lost shoes due to the vinyl or adhesives disintegrating. I need all kinds of shoes, particularly in 1/4 and 1/6 scale.

Shoes for me. I need a good solid supportive pair of shoes to wear to work.

Feed my dish collections: black octagonal glass pieces are always welcome. (They say "France" on the bottom.) Also Steubenville Woodfield pieces, particularly the dinner plates which seem hard to find. All colors welcome.

DVDs: we can't stream, so I need hard copies of anything I want to see. I'd particularly like Marvel stuff (especially recent movies, I'm way behind), Leverage Redemption, anime, or something unusual that you love and aren't sure if I've seen it yet. Ditto for CDs.

Funny collectables: I still love gnomes, mushrooms, fairy aesthetic items, the Nightmare Before Xmas, Tea Party items, etc.

Cat toys. My cats like them and I love to play with my cats.

I do like shiny jewelry, but I appreciate handcrafted items the most.

Hand crafted items. Support an artisan and it's like getting two gifts in one.

I still love to get Lush gift cards. One year I got several and it was The Best Xmas Ever.

Toilet Paper. I am always delighted to receive disposable paper products like TP, paper towels, paper plates, etc.

Food: teas are always welcome. Heck, just bring me a bubble tea and I'll be thrilled! Candy is super tricky; I'd rather get a card and warm wishes than candy. Baked goods are welcome early in the season, but I really don't want a bunch of sweets in the house the week before I give up sugar altogether. (Jan 1) There are very few places I can go to eat, but I'd love gift cards for Thai Nivas, any sushi place, Panera, Cafe Mochi, or Pearl.

Food that you canned yourself. Jam, jelly, apple butter, even regular pickles (because my partner likes them) or, if you want to see me happy-cry, pickles with no garlic or onion in the mix.

Experiences: indoor things are fraught. However, if you want to give me a gift card for The London Tea Room (or better yet, offer to take me for tea) I would love it. Outdoor concerts or performances might be ok, but talk to me about it first.

Do not want:

I have a lot of post Covid issues, as well as my pre Covid IBS problems. Add in my Big Sugar Fast from Jan 1st to late March, and suddenly certain holiday standards don't work for me.

No MSG. This means soup bases, seasoning packets, salad dressings, flavored snack chips, etc. It also means no Alfredo or tomato sauces, and no mushrooms.

No garlic, onion, chocolate, coffee, or peanut. None. Zero. I can't have it in the house. Cross-contamination is a problem. If one molecule gets in the food I can't eat it. These were all things I loved to eat before Covid; now they are completely and totally ruined for me.

Try not to make me part of your Christmas cookie baking. May I suggest instead that you bake some salt dough "cookie" ornaments, and paint one to give me for my tree? Cookies and sweets are cruel unless you give them to me very early in the season.

I hope this helps.

Halloween Nightmare: The Worst Trick or Treat Items to Get Instead of Candy

Be smart this Halloween, pass out real candy and avoid items like baseball cards, jelly beans and pennies.

By

Stephanie Holland

PublishedOctober 31, 2023

When it comes to Halloween, there’s no need to get creative. The kids want candy. Don’t make it complicated with whatever weird item you think they’ll appreciate more. Trust me, when you’re looking for a Snickers or KitKat, the last thing you want is pennies, toothbrushes, friendship bracelets or baseball cards. To help your house stay egg free this year, these are trick or treat items you should avoid handing out.

Hard Candy

You know those candies that your grandparents have sitting in a dish on the side table. Yeah, those impossibly hard ones that no one can actually bite into? Literally no one has ever asked for more of those. Leave them on the side table where they belong.

Baseball Cards

You know there’s a guy who passes out sports cards because he thinks it’s so “cool and different.” And he thinks it works because there’s gum in the package. Have you ever had the gum that comes with baseball cards? It’s a punishment, not a treat.

Full Size Candy Bars

I know what you’re thinking, but hear me out. Yes, the kids will absolutely love you for this. The rest of the neighborhood, not so much. Your full size candy bars are just making the rest of us look bad. Plus, you’ve set a very high standard for yourself. Word will get around and the kids will be expecting this every year.

Hand Sanitizer

As valuable as hand sanitizer is right now, it’s not what the kids want for Halloween. If this is what you want to do, give it to the adults and still have candy available for the kids.

Friendship Bracelets

You can blame Taylor Swift for this. You just know there’s some clever Swiftie who thinks it will be cute to pass out bracelets. Sure, but maybe wrap them around a candy bar.

Jelly Beans

Jelly beans are a very polarizing candy. It depends on the flavor, but you either love them or hate them. Feels like you could probably just hand out Snicker’s or Reese’s and avoid the controversy.

Keychains

This is one of those trinkets you get from people who don’t want to hand out candy and just go to the dollar store and find whatever the least expensive thing is.

Raisins

I don’t know where it started, but somehow the crazy idea that raisins are a proper substitute for candy became a thing. This is absolutely 100 percent not true. No one has ever craved a Kit Kat and settled for raisins when they couldn’t get one.

Pennies

I’m sure this was great fun once upon a time, but here in 2022, pennies are just bacteria carriers that the average person doesn’t really have a use for. Honestly, when was the last time you were super excited to find a penny in your purse or wallet? Kids nowadays probably look at pennies like they’re something out of a museum.

Toothbrushes

Every neighborhood has some well-meaning person who wants to make sure the kids take care of their oral hygiene while they scarf down all that candy. In theory this is a nice idea. In practice, it’s dangerous, as handing out toothbrushes, toothpaste or floss can lead to a high probability of your house being covered in toilet paper or eggs. Seriously though, the kids should really brush their teeth at the end of the night.

ADVERTISEMENT

12 / 20

List slides

Nuts

Nuts are a great, healthy snack, but they’re not what you want on Halloween. Do I want them as part of a candy bar? Yes. Do I want a package of peanuts or almonds in my bag of free candy? Not really. Also, nut allergies are so prevalent, you really should try to stay away from nut-based products altogether.

ADVERTISEMENT

13 / 20

List slides

Stationery

This may sound like an urban myth, but there actually was a house in my neighborhood that gave out mini packs of stationery. I’m sure they thought it was a cute, unique thing to do, but come on guys, no one wants pens, pencils and paper on the one night a year that they get all the candy they want. Why are you trying to remind me of school work?

Homemade Items

I know this sounds crazy in our post-COVID world, but back in the day it was pretty commonplace for people to hand out homemade cookies, candy and caramel apples. Then there was a rash of kids being injured by foreign objects like razor blades, medicine like aspirin and in extreme cases poison. After the outbreak of incidents, parents began checking their kids’ bags, with people not even accepting homemade items. Now that COVID-19 is a part of our lives, I can’t imagine anyone being comfortable with homemade candy from a stranger.

Fruit

Orange slices, fruit cups and berries are all delicious and healthy. However, they don’t always keep well, so if you give them to a child while they’re out all night trick or treating, they won’t be good by the time the kid gets back home. Also, giving someone else’s child fruit is really more about you than them, so just stick with candy, it’s less complicated.

ADVERTISEMENT

16 / 20

List slides

Leftover candy

Halloween is not the only holiday where candy is the center of attention. Valentine’s Day and Easter also offer specialty candy as a signature part of celebrating the day. We all know that if you go to the store on Feb. 15 or in mid-April, shelves are overflowing with clearance price sweets. If you happen to have extra boxes of these hanging around the house, do not pass it out for Halloween, that’s just rude.

ADVERTISEMENT

17 / 20

List slides

Mints

It seems like this should go without saying, but mints are not candy. Yes, sometimes they come in sweet flavors, but that still doesn’t make them an acceptable Halloween choice. And they can be more expensive than generic brand candy, so you’re spending more money to not pass out candy.

ADVERTISEMENT

18 / 20

List slides

Trail Mix

This isn’t a knock on trail mix, but between the nuts, dried fruit and few pieces of chocolate, there’s not much sweetness actually happening. It’s also not what most kids are looking for on Halloween, so you can save this one for lunch boxes and afternoon snacks.

ADVERTISEMENT

List slides

Black licorice

If there’s one thing worse than candy corn, it’s black licorice. Normal flavors of licorice like cherry, grape or strawberry are perfectly fine. But then someone decided “what if we made licorice in hell” and the black versions came along. If you hand this out, you’re letting the rest of the neighborhood know you’ve chosen violence and they can’t trust you.
