Hey Bari Besties 💜

Today’s dump is short, sweet, and a little sugary. After staying up way too late with Brandon, Sacha slept in, powered through her Miracle Morning, and spent the day running errands for herself and her mom — with a side of protein shakes, slippers, and Costco chaos.

Between a fridge clean-out, a new vacuum-mop hybrid from the TikTok shop (oops, No-Spend November loophole?), and the best cookie she’s ever had — the Martha Stewart Chocolate Chip Cookie Thins from Crumbl — it’s a cozy little Saturday full of real-life balance: discipline meets dopamine.

✨ Mentioned in this episode:

• The Miracle Morning by Hal Elrod
• Sam’s Club & Costco bulk finds
• Eureka TikTok vacuum-mop
• Crumbl Cookies — Martha Stewart Cookie Thins (dangerously good)
• Scentsy (sachasmells.com)
• Yoga & self-care routines

🔑 Key Takeaways

• Rest is productive — especially after a late night.
• Costco runs totally count as cardio.
• Even on No-Spend November, sometimes practicality wins.
• The best self-care is often found in the small moments.
• Chocolate chip cookie thins are a trap — a delicious, buttery trap.

⚠️ Content Note

Casual mention of chronic illness (Type 2 diabetes), GLP-1 medication side effects, and caregiver responsibilities. Otherwise, lighthearted, cozy weekend tone.
