Welcome to Wearing on My Mind, a weekly newsletter that features sarcastic (but totally useful) product recommendations and brief narratives on identity and culture. Rants appear here occasionally, too.
Happy New Year to my family, friends, future friends, readers, and loyal fans (joking). Let’s be real now— New Year resolutions can stir feelings of trepidation. You must change and thrive and be better than you once were. I think resolutions are great, but resolutions tend to be wrapped in pressure and stress (cue the new wellness trends that you absolutely should do in 2024).
What’s guiding me for 2024 is staying true to myself, patting myself on the back, and looking to myself for validation. So, in the spirit of staying true to myself, there’s no way that I can recommend products that usually coincide with resolutions (e.g., workout clothes). Nah, we do recommendations differently around here, and we are focusing on self-care. As in, finishing that eggnog in the back of your fridge. Shoutout to Lactaid’s Lactose-Free Eggnog (love you, girl!).
Call it a New Year's Resolution: no wasting!
You’ll need a robe, an oversized shirt, a facemask headband, and fluffy slippers. Don’t worry about pants or socks; I’m trying to save y’all money. Now, you have the perfect look: Person Standing in Front of the Fridge Drinking the Leftover Unexpired (Lactose-Free) Eggnog from The Holidays. You look fabulous, honey!
