"My new favorite toxic trait of mine is scrolling on my phone at 1 a.m., favoriting a plethora of TikTok DIY projects that I swear I’ll do on my next day off, and never visiting the idea ever again. Maybe it’s because I am a night owl and get motivated to revamp everything about my apartment in the dark hours of the night when woodworking and hammering are widely unacceptable. Or perhaps it’s because I’m a sucker for saving money on what would otherwise be a hefty West Elm purchase.
