It's only natural for us all to seek comfort, even when it comes from the cheapest of things as it is almost like a "small win". We often crave these kinds of wins as that's what life is all about; breaking the routine and finding something that adds more zest to the daily and mundane life clock.

To understand more about it, Bored Panda reached out to Eden Lobo, a counselor and psychology professor, for an interview. She mentioned how small, cheap purchases can have a surprisingly large impact on our well-being. She believes that they often provide immediate, tangible benefits that make us feel more in control, comfortable, or inspired in our daily lives.

"These small changes, while often subtle, add up to create meaningful improvements in how we feel and interact with our surroundings. By making these small, positive shifts in our environment, we often feel more capable, content, and fulfilled," she added.

While speaking about cheap items that can be actual life-changers, Prof. Lobo elaborated on the significant impact these things can have on our mental health and productivity. She narrated that they are often practical tools that improve or change our environment, routines, and habits.

ADVERTISEMENT

"Even the smallest of changes can have a cumulative effect, creating an environment that supports productivity and promotes positive mental health. These cheap/affordable investments make it easier to maintain habits, focus, and a balanced state of mind, which in turn enhances our overall quality of life," she explained.

However, it's not all rosy when it comes to buying such cheap things. Prof. Lobo claimed that there can be risks associated with relying on cheap purchases for happiness, especially if the purchases become a primary way of coping with stress, boredom, or difficult emotions.

Prof. Lobo emphasized that short-lived satisfaction, financial strain from frequent purchases, emotional reliance on the cheap goods bought, avoidance of underlying issues associated with these frequent purchases, clutter, and overconsumption are some of the risks associated with it.

ADVERTISEMENT

She noted, "To avoid these risks, it can be helpful to practice mindful purchasing—considering whether a purchase will truly add value or address a specific need. Focusing on long-term happiness sources, like relationships, personal growth, and health, can provide a more sustainable foundation for well-being than frequent purchases."

If you think about it, this does make sense, as it's very easy to get lost in the purchasing world if you are getting things at a cheap rate. After all, constantly purchasing such cheap things, and hoarding them all, will surely not be a good thing, will it?

We bought one for 30 bucks and it was a serious game changer.

Now with the massage gun I get my wife to go over my tension spots, and it's honestly one of the best feelings when you can feel the tension get relieved. Its an indescribable pleasure/relief.

When we asked Prof. Lobo about how people can make mindful purchases that will truly add value to their lives, she mentioned that they can reflect on their needs, goals, and lifestyle while resisting impulses that lead to quick, temporary satisfaction. Well, this does sound doable!

Lastly, she concluded the interview with some thought-provoking advice: "Mindful choosing focuses on making purchases that enhance well-being, productivity, and long-term satisfaction rather than providing fleeting gratification. By thoughtfully evaluating each potential purchase, you’re more likely to bring items into your life that support your values, goals, and happiness."

You use it every day so I suggest getting two. My skin and hair are so much better.

Silk is a protein based fabric. Our skin and hair are protein. Silk stays cooler, and breathes. Polyester satin does not.

Whatever pillow you like, put a silk pillowcase on it, and you will understand.

"Many Many Books": Folks Spill The Tea On 29 Things That Were Cheap And Changed Their Lives I guess this will depend on how bad your breath is but a good tongue scraper for less than $10.

A lot of people may not know that bad breath originates from your tongue. Your tongue holds a lot of plaque! A toothbrush isn't going to clean nearly as much plaque from your tongue as you think it will. A tongue scraper on the other hand will actively peel the plaque as you pull the scraper from the back of your tongue towards the front.

You'll be shocked to see how much plaque comes off of your tongue with just the first pull! Drinking more water and less sodas/sugar drinks is also a great way to control the freshness of your breath because water will help to flush particles without sticking to your tongue like sugary drinks will.

It's unbelievable how useful those things are. Yeah it won't let you iron your suit pants to have this nice crease but it helps with every other thing and doesn't require setting it up for 30 minutes. You need like 2 minutes with it to iron a t-shirt or a nice shirt. And because it's just steam the risk of burning yourself is also much lower than of an iron.

Thermal underwear. When the office is set to chill, and you're a woman trying to look professional while you're cold even with your suit jacket on, try a long-sleeved thermal singlet under your blouse. It's life changing. No one ever explained to me that layering starts by adding an underlayer, not just going straight to adding additional outer layers. So basic, right?

That underlayer doesn't need to be thick and heavy either. I'm not ashamed to say that years ago when I'd have to spend the day outside in very cold weather I'd put on a pair of pantyhose under my jeans. It's amazing how big a difference that made, with very little bulk.
