i ditched my apple watch over a year ago bc i just thought it was ugly and considered replacing with an oura ring but tbh i had a baby and the biggest thing i got out of that experience besides the baby was trust in my body. i don’t think i need any special tech subscription to tell me im tired or i didn’t sleep great last night or i should take it easy on my workout today. a quick glance at fb marketplace tells me a lot of others feel the same.

I wore a Fitbit for 12 years, if you can believe it. Flagrantly sharing my bodily data with a tech company who has since been purchased by Google. I know we all carry a phone with us and our cars have trackable GPS. But damn, I want to be less online, less trackable. Why does Google need to know my heart rate (literally how intimate is that)? Also, learning that the recommended 10,000 steps a day was made up by a marketing company… blew my mind. As long as I’m moving my body and taking good care, I don’t need to track my steps.
I finally kicked the smartwatch from my wrist and am getting excited about the time-telling possibilities. Here are two ā€œinner child healingā€ options I’ve acquired: a pale pink Baby G from Tokyo and a candy necklace-inspired Swatch.

I would love to get rid of my phone entirely but it doesn’t really feel like an option right now. I try to look at it as little as possible but my sense of time ranges from just accurate enough that I feel confident about it to so wildly inaccurate that I feel like I have to check up on it constantly if I have anything important to do on a given day. As a result I end up spending all day accessible and on social media when all I really want is to not be bothered or subjected to the algorithm. Lorelei was taking the EU to UK ferry earlier this summer and there were mad duty free watches - I realized I should just get one so I was like hey should I buy this watch and the love of my life Al was like you should do research and buy one you want at home instead of impulse buying some random watch on a boat and that was definitely the right call. I bought a weird box of shortbread with King Charles on it for my roommate instead. When I got home I bought a cheap casio watch and it honestly is the best - I always know what time it is and I think I cut my phone time in half.

i have two under two and i’ve never felt more vulnerable or in love with the world despite the calamities! i’ve never had more empathy or patience or compassion for all living things! i’m also so tired and hormonal rn so don’t make any rash decisions but so far it’s working for me ā˜†
ps. pregnancy and labor and delivery physically went very smoothly for me. i had freaky ppd the first time around but so far this time is just overwhelmingly wonderful?? results may vary.
