#BUY THE MINI WOKS!!!!!! | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

I've spent the better part of yesterday afternoon convincing myself I don't need a mini wok station or a raclette grill, tell me about something you don't have any way to justify buying but you just want anyway? Either bc it sounds fun or kind of neat or bc you just always wanted it :)

First of all, you DEFINITELY need the mini wok station. The raclette grill—I guess it depends how much you love raclette. 😂

Second, the problem with me answering this is that I usually just buy stuff when I feel like it. So instead, after the jump, I’ll tell you about some of the insane, impractical purchases I’ve actually made. 🌈

I think the first one that comes to mind is a custom-painted, Drag Race-themed tea service for 10. It’s like 52 pieces, and it’s displayed in a lighted cabinet. I love it and I’m thrilled that I have it but…I mean yeah, it was objectively insane. I’ll DM you some pics if you want. (In my defense: I was on Percocet and having a bit of a bipolar meltdown.)

I used to buy literally everything I ever saw on an infomercial until I just decided that for my own sanity, I can’t watch infomercials. Those purchases included wrinkle cream when I was 16 because “it’s never too early,” a Montel Williams blender which we only ever used to crush ice, and a thing called an “egg wave” to cook eggs in the microwave. Which btw is the grossest way *possible* to cook eggs but I was living in a dorm with no kitchen at the time, just a microfridge. (And we were forbidden from having hot plates because of fire safety.) Anyway. I don’ watch infomercials anymore.

A gym membership that I used approximately 5 times in the 3 years I had it and the only reason I canceled is because I got a new credit card so I didn’t actually have to call them.

Dr Fluffernutter himself. The man, the legend. It started when I wrote a god like him into Galactica and then got jealous of my character's fictional dog. And I love him to pieces but it was objectively too much money to pay for a dog. Also, the way people in LA gave me SHIT for not getting a rescue from a shelter. But in fairness to me…he’s VERY cute. Like, so much cuter than any of the dogs I saw on the rescue websites. No offense to those povo dogs but...just not my style.

I ALMOST bought a new car when I was having my bipolar Percocet meltdown, but didn't. Responsible? Totes. She's learning.

Except that a year or so later, I spent about $500 on Build-a-Bear clothes for Doc. Like, there's so much that he has to have his own closet. So I guess I also bought an entire Ikea wardrobe for my dog. But look, I don't have kids!! And what's the worst that can happen from spoiling your dog? It's not like he's gonna grow up to be a douche who buys a social media company and runs it into the ground...

Lastly...when I first moved here to Sweden, it was really hard to find housing that would allow the dog, so I rented a room from this guy. And it was fine for a little bit but long-term, it was not the right situation. And it was SO hard to find something so I just bought an apartment. In cash, since I don’t have a full-time job here and so I don’t qualify for a mortgage. Which was pretty much all my money but on the plus side, now I own an apartment and I can sell it when I want to move. The only issue is that I don’t know the rules for taking money out of the country. I should have looked into that but…it was a cute apartment in a cute building in a cute neighborhood so I didn’t really have time to think too hard. 🤣

I don't think I can top "an apartment" but in terms of shit I definitely don't need but WANT, I do have my eye on a painted lady style dollhouse. Come on, LOOK HOW CUTE:

Plus you an get so much adorable stuff to put in it. Fruit and veggies, sushi, little teeny condoms so that your dolls don't get knocked up. A TINY DOLLHOUSE TO GO INSIDE YOUR DOLLHOUSE!!!

Really the question here is, how do I NOT buy this??

#walking down the glittertrail #why did this take me all week?#well #it was the week from hell so that's probably the main thing #love you though #BUY THE MINI WOKS!!!!!!#MINIIIII WOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKS!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely manga. I want a huge collection of them but I have no way of justifying spending money on them because they are 1) so tiny and 2) SO ridiculously expensive, plus i can just read them on the internet for free (and once i actually get them, when i do give in and buy one, i never read them more than once; my tiny collection is currently sitting on my shelf catching dust ;-;)

#also is just not a good investment overall bc most of the time they stop translating series halfway through #but i want them badly anyway #also also i am an enabler so buy it buy it buy it #if its the lidl one its only 60 euros and all cooking apliances from lidl are great quality itll be a good investment #ask #now i want a mini wok station too

Mornings. (Alhaitham/reader/Kaveh) Note: More Al Haitham imagines because I still haven’t drafted the Scaramouche idol fic and also because I’m craving curry. I’m too slow with the updates. Also, I just remembered I have an Ayato series that I still haven’t updated. Warnings: None Masterlists: [masterlist 1] , [masterlist 2]

Most of the time it’s you that cooks in the house but today you somehow slept in and the cold of the previous night already dissipated. It seems like today is going to be a hot day. Temperature around the place fluctuates a lot because of two opposing forcesds from left and right. The cool winds from the forest to the left and the desert winds from the left sometimes clash, giving you a headache. You quietly descended down the stairs and were immediately greeted by loud voices. Much like the forest and the desert, they really love to clash a lot.

“I’m just saying since you’re already on the stove you should make lunch as well.”

“Aren’t you getting paid? Why don’t you just buy one?”

“I like home cooked unlike you!”

Slumped on the table is a still sleepy Kaveh. His hand holds a hot coffee and his hair is still a mess from the night’s sleep. In the mini kitchen stands Alhaitham with a long apron on. His hair is styled with hair pins (presumably from Kaveh) to keep it out of his face as heat and the smell of spice permeate through the air.

"Eh? Oh, it's you. Good morning", Kaveh lifted his head up from the table and greeted. Alhaitham comes out of the kitchen carrying the freshly cooked rice in… “Did you just cook rice in a soup pan?” you asked as you rubbed your eyes. Alhaitham placed the pot down and pulled a chair for you to sit on. “I would cook it in the wok if someone didn’t use the wok to boil water for coffee.”

“I forgot where the kettle was!” “You’ll forget you have a head if it’s not a part of your anatomy!”

You took your seat between the bantering men and spooned the freshly cooked rice and curry to your mouth. The taste of fresh ginger paired with other bold spices such as Jueyen Chili lingered in your mouth as you swallowed the spoonful. In the background, the voices of the two bantering gentlemen fade as you inhale the spice. Honestly, if mornings are always like this and then you don’t mind it at all.

I'm currently obsessed with frame TVs that look like a piece of framed art when you're not using them. Totally not anything I need and out of my home decor budget. But my heart just wants one, because coordinated gallery walls! 😍😍😍

I bought a hand pan.

Like a drum instrument that no one has heard of. Because I followed a guy on tiktok who played one and taught himself and I was convinced that I would teach myself how to play it despite having like, no self discipline especially when it comes to music. (I played two instruments as a kid and never practiced). So that’s my stupid purchase

But also I want a PlayStation even though I have an Xbox and a PC just because I’m playing God of War right now and I can’t wait a year (at least) for Ragnarok to come out on PC. But I really don’t need it

#fucking PS exclusive games

For me, it usually ends up being tickets to drag shows. Alaska and Lagoona Bloo are going to be in my city next weekend, and I really want to go, but I can’t quite get myself to buy a ticket because I would have to go alone. I’ve gone to plenty of drag shows by myself, but this particular event is all general admission with no seating, which just feels like it would be weird to attend alone. I feel similarly about Raja’s tour next year. She isn’t coming to my city, but she’ll be fairly close in Kansas City. I’ve gone to Kansas City for concerts and drag shows before, but I don’t particularly like it that much, so I’m having a hard time justifying it despite the fact that I love Raja and would like to see the show.

#i also just need to stop spending money on drag in general #it feels very frivolous because it’s literally never necessary and i’ve already spent so much on it recently #that being said i did buy a ticket to see victoria black when she’s in my city next month without a moment of hesitation :/

The Living Alone Vortex

For the past few days, I find it entertaining to watch ‘living alone’ videos on Youtube. These are videos that usually show tailored clips of a person’s everyday life mostly including, but not limited to, working out, cooking, watching TV, doing laundry, groceries, etc. The uncanny trend was started with Koreans, if I’m not mistaken, and I’m not going to deny that I, as well, have thought of joining this bandwagon that is fondly appreciated by kids nowadays. But, nah. Even before I did, I’ve already thought beforehand that I’d have little to no time filming and editing clips. I don’t want to have my days off being spent in a quicksand of editing. Twenty four hours ain’t enough for a day.

Like seriously. It sometimes crosses my mind if there’s any way to decrease the rate of the earth’s axial rotation so we’d come up with longer hours to do our things accordingly and have a little more time for ourselves. But that’s how the universe is meant to tell us ‘f*** you, deal with it, you puny peasant!’

And then, in the middle of these dubiously mundane thoughts about striking the Earth with thousands of kilotons of nuclear energy to slow its rotation, I sometimes find tranquility. A sea so peaceful that it made me take the wok (gifted by Ez-chan) out and toss some rice in. I had groceries from Marketplace delivered to my doorstep by Grab the other night so I included chorizo in my bag to go together with my egg fried rice. The Vigan longganisa was a bargain that Ez-chan bagged from Farinas Ilocos Empanadas via FoodPanda. Mix ’em altogether in a bowl, together with sukang Iloko or pinakurat, and you can die happy.

As a highly introverted demigod, I was baptized with a little to an almost nonexistent self-esteem. It could sometimes reach abysmal values at some point. I have thought endlessly of producing videos and uploading them online but I always get to the same, exact point ultimately—it’s always better when I just write these thoughts up.

So, here we are, lurking in the shadows and the thick canopy of my abode. It’s always better this way. For people like me who’s incessant in enjoying solitude, living alone is the dream. I meant, THE DREAM. Now I made a mess of my finances and hauled another budol buy from the latest 7.7 Shopee sale. Thank you, Ez-chan for fueling my desire of spending money on things that make me happy. Hehehehe.

Nespresso Essenza Mini for the lazy people who already got an espresso machine at home but prefers espresso to be made A LOT easier.

Mom: "I'm gonna buy you one of those old fashioned mason jar mixers so you can just make yourself ice cream and I don't have to buy it anymore."

Me: "Can I get a wok too? What about a mini toaster?"

Mom: "Don't push it."

#my birthday is in 3 months #and i know that thing is gonna come fron a flea market #and i'm happy with that

Funny you say this bc I’m trying to convince myself that no, I don’t need to buy these Pokémon trainers that are in stock in my size despite me needing new trainers bc they’re £60 but I want them so fucking bad I can’t lie

Like- that’s a good purchase but augh that’s a lot of money when I’m currently looking for a new job but they’re BULBASAUR THEMED

should I get them?

A pink kitchenaid stand mixer and a matching ceramics set (I'm talking plates and bowls, all the pots and pans, that really cute le creuset dutch oven... everything). All in all that would cost me thousands of dollars and I absolutely cannot justify it because I already have perfectly good dishes and kitchen appliances, I just think it would be pretty <3

i didn't know you could get mini woks but that seems so useful, you've made me want that too 🤣 off the top of my head i'd have to say the pretty teapots from T2! looking at them online my desire isn't *as* strong but oh my god going into their physical stores and seeing all the pretty teapots and cups 😍 i am always so tempted but i can't justify spending that money on teapots when i rarely use the ones i have, nor do i have the space to store more (plus these are so gorgeous they'd need to be displayed!) examples under read more!

#ask #glittertrail #like maybe if i had these teapots i'd want to use them more...#but also i cant justify spending this much on a teapot fghjki #fr tho if i hadn't got this new job i was gonna apply at t2 lmao #because then i could justify it

I do have a raclette, it's a lot of fun to use when you're eating with a couple good friends. I bought a circulator for sous vide and 6 months later I decided to become a vegetarian. At least it can still be used for things that aren't meat.

For real, I keep getting the urge to buy new kitchen appliances all the time. But I live somewhere where space is definitely an issue, so getting them would just be a bad idea overall. I'm also not in a financial situation where I can afford all of those things anyways.

I love cooking. It's one of the few ways I can unwind. I'd love a stand mixer with all the attachments, a vitamix blender, a rice cooker, candy thermometer, all kinds of niche baking utensils... and probably a lot of other appliances. One day I'll have my own kitchen where I can at least get some of this stuff.

Are these essentials for cooking? Absolutely not. But they sure do open up new doors to making something spectacular you just can't with the basics.

It’s mostly clothes! I would fill my whole apartment with clothes if I had the space and money. I have to dress well for my job which can be very outward facing and extremely event-heavy at times so I pour a lot of my money into dressing for work and not very much money into fun or risky or overly-sexy clothes.

Oh god i feel this SO bad. I’ve been telling myself that i do not need one of those hair straightener and curling iron in one things. Like i should not spend that money .. but its travel sized 😩

I also really want a striped suit. Just a basic black jacket snd dress pants with white stripes. Do i have an event to go to in it? No. Do i still want it? Absolutely.

Also pro tip: ask around if someone you know has a Raclette grill and ask if you can borrow it some time. My friend only uses hers like once a year so i can borrow all the time and give her my bowle in return if she ever needs it. And like, so many people have those grills rotting in their basements, maybe someone will just give you one for free since they don’t use it. Thats how i got two waffle makers on accident. Work smart, not hard ;)

#also pls invote me over if you get it i love raclette #glitterasks #I’m so close to making your tag something like mommyasks or glittermom but I’m scared of the people mommyasks might attract

these^^

we have a couch and a chair but the living room is huge so it always felt like something was missing lol. when i thrifted, i just decided to see if i can find anything else to add and it’s was these things! they weren’t necessary to have because they’re just decorations but i bought them anyway so that the theme of the living room looked more put together :)

also as a bonus we even had a halloween theme going on:
