yes, I have gone from a consumer to a maker 👀
If I wanted to have something, I used to search for where or how I could BUY it, quick and simple; But now I would either learn how to do it myself if it's fun, or I would find the right person to MAKE it together, I want to understand how things are being made from scratch, and I'm generally more involved in things I use or eat now, instead of blindly trusting any brands.
Yes this is a big one; i've tried my best to become more creation-oriented as well rather than consumer. Infinitely more satisfying (and cheaper) to knit your own sweater or cook your own meal rather than consumer others'.

or it can be more expensive if you want to create better quality and long-lasting ones!
But generally I prefer learning how to fish or at least knowing the honest fishermen than keep being feed the average or bad fish 🎣

Yep, dont always wanna cheap out but i do want more sats....
Cooking specifically though is the biggest cheat code: cheaper, healthier, better quality, better tasting, everything.

Yogurt - just started making it. Don't need a yogurt maker or anything, but I do use a thermometer to get the milk to 180 degrees F, then cool it down to 115 before I add the yogurt. It's tasty. Save some yogurt for the next batch

yes! one of the super food, and can use it for skincare too 🤫
yogurt + honey + chickpea flavor + turmeric = a nice face mask
