- Jessica Figueroa: Hi friends. I love being here with you so much every day. It just fills my cup. So today on the Just For Today podcast, my name is Cindy Marlar. If we haven't met yet, and here we talk about things we do just one day at a time. And today what we are going to do, this is a fun one. Some are serious, some are sad, some are hard, some are fun. And they all make this big, beautiful life that we get to live. So today's one is fun. Today we're gonna buy ourselves something. Yeah. Where are my shoppers out there? I am a shopper. Love shopping, big fan, and don't like trying clothes on. Do you ever get frustrated just trying clothes on? That's probably the lighting and the age. However, I do love shopping. So today's thing is fun. We're gonna shop. There is something out there that you could buy that would bring improvement to your life that you're just not buying. I want to name a couple things in my life. So my sleep mask that I was given as a Christmas present one year, I think they're like less than $10, but it's one of these sleep masks that has like the puffy pillows around the eyes. But then it's like a concave. So you could actually open your eyes while you're wearing them and it doesn't hit the mask. This is brilliant. Who thought of this? How many years have we had eye masks around and no one had thought of this? Well, I feel like I can't live without this thing now. I bring it in the car, I bring it on airplanes, I'll just sit on my couch. I put this thing on. Because then even when you open your eyes, it's still dark and I am a big napper. So maybe this $10 purchase would add so much value to your life you didn't know. Maybe it's time for that. pop socket thing or a different phone case where you can prop your phone up so you can see it while you're doing that. Maybe you're just like, ⁓ I'm not going to spend that $20. Isn't it funny how sometimes we get cheap about something because we already have it, it would just be replacing something we already have, but it is actually something that would bring so much value to our lives. ⁓ another thing I love my Ug house slippers. So my Ug House slippers are were a big splurge when I bought my first pair. It was probably 12 years ago. And then I wore them Every day for 10 years. I'm a house slipper person. Where are my house slipper people? I put them on the minute I wake up, the minute I get home. I am just wearing my house slippers around all the time. And I wore these pair of house slipper for about 10 years every day. And then finally decided a couple of years ago to splurge and get myself the next pair. But they really were fine after 10 years. So I just they were black and I wanted the tan ones. So, where are you not spending 10, 15, $100 to something that would bring you so much pleasure and so much joy in your everyday life? Where have you gotten cheap? Maybe it's a new pair of glasses. Maybe you're still wearing like crooked glasses. Maybe it's prescription sunglasses. I just got myself a pair of them. They're waiting to be picked up. What is it that you would enjoy that would bring you joy that you just haven't been able to pull the trigger on spending the money? Today, I give you permission to do it. Don't be financially responsible. Pay your mortgage, pay your rent, make your car payment. But today we are going to do it. We're going to get that thing. Let us know what your thing is. I'm curious because maybe your thing is one of my things that I just haven't thought of. I love these little things. And then what's great is when it's your thing, then you give it as gifts, especially if it's in that good gift-giving price range. And then you're giving the thing that might be the thing, the thing that people didn't know they wanted. So great, guys. Today we're going to buy that thing that we didn't know. Would make such a big difference in our lives. But you've been thinking about it. I give you permission just for today, buy the thing. I'll see you guys tomorrow.
