Imo it doesn't matter if you live in a luxury high rise or a shitty college apartment: I highly recommend gifting homemade cookies or some sort of sweet treat to your nearby neighbors. Tbh you don't even have to look face-to-face at them if you're too anxious: you can just knock on their door, set the plate down (with a note explaining why it's there ofc), and scurry off and it'll all be fine
I recommend this because honestly: we don't know our neighbors anymore, and it's really lonely and isolating to not know them. I don't think there's any need to be best friends with them, but to establish a sort of "hey idk you that well, but I'll look out for your shit if you look out for mine" kind of relationship can go a long way. And I think sweet treats are a great way to break the ice and everything bc hey, we all gotta eat somehow

I have to disagree with the people who say that we need to “stay” and “fight“ for IG to be a better platform because in actuality, it’s our presence and engagement that gives them data, and therefore money. As long as they have those 2 things, they make their bottom line and won’t really care about its users desires unless they’re making a move for the optics.
If we REALLY want to hold them accountable, we need to impact the money they make, which means permanently deleting or marking your account as inactive & never coming back. They’ll only care if they’re bleeding money— so make them bleed.

Every piece I wear has some sort of sentimental story backed behind it (my bracelets/rings/necklaces/some of my earrings). For me, wearing sentimental jewelry serves 3 purposes:
1) Bringing life to pieces that have been given to me with love
2) Carrying my loved ones wherever I go
3) Prevented me from making impulsive jewelry purchases (because fast fashion jewelry doesn't feel the same way a gift does)
Ig the only exceptions I make in fast fashion jewelry is earrings, but only bc I need boring earrings for corporate-wear lol
