This year has been a cluster fuck of ridiculousness and tomfoolery but all I can say is that the best time of year is here and starts now. Halloween freaks, Thanksgiving foodies and Christmas crazies, whatever holidays you celebrate. Take the time to treat yourself. Let yourself indulge in and enjoy the goodness that is these holidays.
Buy all the scented candles, decorate your cozy place. Cook, bake & eat all the holiday goodies that might put you into a food coma. Don’t only buy gift for others but buy gifts for yourself. Do a little something to make yourself happy.
Tomorrow is September 1st & I’m ready for morning fog, crunchy leaves on a walk for a pumpkin spice latte, wearing a thick scarf that comforts me, baking pies, Tim Burton movies, picking the perfect pumpkins, embracing childhood nostalgia, warm tea. It’s my favorite time of the year. 🎃🕸🌙
My witchy senses are tingling too.
Speaking of that, witches! The best way we are kicking off the start of fall is with A FULL MOON!
cashier: I’m sorry it’s going to be a 5 minute wait for your food
old people: let me speak to your manager. This never would have happened in my day. And yet you all want the minimum wage raised. I’m going to kill you.

millennials: okay, my apologies. I apologize for the inconvenience. I’m sorry I’m here.

Had a baby boomer in front of me at the Dairy Queen. She INSISTED she was a Blizzard EXPERT and there was simply NOT ENOUGH chocolate pieces in her blizzard and she wanted to complain to “whoever is in charge”. She’s going on and on with this teenager. The teenager is calmly explaining they make them all the same etc etc procedure etc etc. But this woman is now yelling at the teen.
So I walk past the woman and put money in teen’s tip jar. Haven’t even gotten ice cream yet.
Woman looks at me. Turns back and yells some more with the teen. I put more money in the tip jar.
The teen smiles at me. The woman can’t think of what to say to me and stops yelling, because I’m looking at her dead in the eye like “atm is over there, I can go all night. The more you yell at her, the more money she makes.”
Aggressive generosity to combat boomer selfishness is so punk
There is a company called “Vector” that sends out “work opportunity” letters in the mail for graduating seniors. It’s a scam. They promise a nice $17 an hour for zero experience which should be a red flag. It’s a multi level marketing scheme that preys on kids trying to make money for college and it’s gross. If you get one of these letters in the mail, just toss it in the recycle. Some of you may have heard of this or have already received one of these in the mail, but I just wanted to post about it just in case!
they did this shit to me too but they had no information about the company anywhere on the flyers and the website for applying was just a google form which should have been a red flag but basically they wait until you fill out the google form and then reveal that they are Vector Marketing. their scheme is they make you buy like $100+ worth of knives and tell you to sell them all to your family members in exchange for a cut of the profit. i ignored them once i found out but they started like sending flyers to my mom somehow
here’s a list of similar multilevel marketing scams! notable ones are itworks, amway, lularoe, herbalife, scentsy, younique, monat, beachbody, mary kay, and more. you might even see some of your peers advertising for them on facebook or instagram, but always remember to google the companies’ income disclosure statements. you’ll quickly find a solid 95% or so make no money from these schemes at all, and about 90% actually lose money. be careful y’all!
