a running list of things that i want or plan to buy, or otherwise acquire
like the journals, this is basically something between a braindump and a reference for myself. after all, why keep my budget in my head when i could share it to the world?

wishlists

- natural bug repellent for cupboards
- bottle cleaning brush;alternative bottle cleaning brush
- alternatively, this scrubber
- bleach for. well yeah. alternatively, this concentrate bar with clove and eucalyptus oils in it
- scrubbing brush for dishes. i like that you can replace the head when it gets ancient and worn-down.
- scrubbing brush for bottles. not necessary but nice to have
- i like the look of all of these sponges
- dusting brush for when my current one gives up the ghost
- i would use this as a cutting board and nobody could stop me. though i will settle for this gorgeous thing
- i want random spices in my kitchen again
- this wok
- mosquito repellent sprays, oil blend and band. if i could have one for each arm i would.
- deodorants that i want to try out when i pan my current
- solid conditioner, there's a few that i think i want to try
- for when my toilet brush gives up the ghost. here's a cheaper alternative
- i just wanna try these laundry detergent bars.but i'm also partial to soap berries when washing in a tub
- i am soap-curious. ha ha.
- this teatowel of bugs just for fun. or this everlasting daisy one. or this snacky one.
- this jigsaw puzzle, also just for fun
- some lip balms i might buy and try one day
- for when my umbrella gives up the ghost
- these solar lights look awesome and i want them
- secateurs
- gardening saw
- this gardening fork
- some bags i don't need but are cool and useful
ikea
- sofa bed
- convertible chair
- this hat rack
- tension mount rack/organiser set
- this chair with a fold-out leg rest
- sit/stand desk, particularly because it's lever-activated not electric
- sit/stand desk with a handle, i actually can't decide which one i want
- this would absolutely be an art station
- stool with storage
- coffee table with storage
living a lie-sit-stand life is very aspirational to me, if i could replace all my furniture with pillows. in that vein, i'm looking at convertible furniture. some more typical, like sofa beds, but i've been incredibly tempted by this desk. i also can't shake the fear of moving regularly, so everything i look at either has to pack down very easily or be moved as a single unit. i have finally learned the lesson that cube shelves strove to teach me.
