What's the first thing you do when you get your paycheck (or let's say, a lil' extra money in general)? If you're being a responsible adult—and we sure hope that you are—you've probably thought about setting aside a portion of your income for savings or an emergency fund. This is great and you should totally keep at it because you're on the right track.
Not gonna lie, though– every payday, aside from adding to my savings account, I make sure that one way or another, I still get to treat myself. Don't get me wrong: It doesn't always have to be fancy. There are days when I order my favorite food or check out the latest sales from my fave e-commerce sites. These past few months have been tough and I have to admit, shopping online is really one way to cope! To be honest, when you reward yourself of the little things, it can already be a simple joy in itself. You should try it sometime– that is, if you haven't already!
If you're ever in the mood to treat yourself, here are some items that you can add to your online shopping cart.

Scented candles
Feeling stressed and overwhelmed? Try lighting a scented candle to relax your senses and clear your headspace. There are some with traditional fragrances that'll make your room smell like a spa and café. But if you're looking for something unique, check out the ones that are k-drama-themed or even balikbayan box-scented!

Supplies for different kinds of hobbies
Having hobbies is great because it allows you to try something that's totally unfamiliar and gives you an opportunity to grow. It's never too late to learn something new! Why not try getting into diamond painting, roller skating, or Korean ceramics?
