From $40 blind boxes and “lucky scoops” to monthly subscription kits and those $200 to $2,000 advent calendars you’ll see everywhere this season — these “fun” little purchases are carefully designed to drain your wallet and make sure you're broke and dissatisfied with your purchases.

In this video, I’m breaking down the psychology behind why we fall for them (dopamine, FOMO, and fake “value”) — and showing you how to stop paying for maybes.

💸 Stop wasting money on clutter and gimmicks.
🧠 Learn the sneaky tactics behind “mystery” shopping.

We’re legal! 💍

Jacob and I officially got courthouse married today ahead of our ceremony with family and friends.

These photos are just screen grabs from my phone filming our very glamorous $125, three-minute visit with the judge (not including the $85 marriage license fee), but after that we celebrated with a photo shoot in downtown Bryan with .booth that I cannot wait to share when the images are ready.

The pups ( ) came along in little bridesmaid dresses, which were stupidly adorable and we shot in downtown and in one of my favorite bookstores. Lovely day. Destination wedding next!

Do you have any wedding advice for me? What do you wish you knew before your wedding?

My wedding is officially one month away, and while we’re planning a small budget destination wedding, there is still so much left to do. I’m sharing our real wedding budget, destination wedding planning process, what we’ve spent so far and how we’re keeping our wedding affordable without sacrificing what matters most to us.

Long time no see over on the tube 👀

I finally sat down to film a big life update because… a lot has happened. Wedding planning chaos, rental property updates, burnout, therapy dog wins, life getting very full and some harder things too.

Also yes — my wedding is officially one month away and I am wildly underprepared for someone who has been engaged for a year and a half. 💀

I’m also sharing our real destination wedding budget and expenses so far, how we’re keeping things affordable and why I think we may either be doing weddings completely wrong… or exactly right for us.
