A tongue-in-cheek collection of the tips, tricks, and recipes that will fix your life without busting your budget.
$9 Therapy proves that it&;s possible to take self-care seriously without taking yourself too seriously.
Self-professed lifestyle gurus Nick Greene and Megan Reid know that sometimes it takes as little as spending nine dollars on an act of self-care to turn your day around. While working their first, low-paying jobs out of school, Nick and Meg learned to spend wisely&;and fabulously&;and firmly came to believe in the radical potential of simple pleasures. In $9 Therapy, they use their hard-won wisdom to show how small, inexpensive treats can elevate your adulting game: whether it&;s mindfully repotting a plant to finally drinking from a decent wine glass (even if you can afford only one), to recipes you&;ll actually want to cook, to design tips to make even the tiniest spaces look like Instagram-bait.
With enthusiasm and sass, (and featuring 30 colorful illustrations), $9 Therapy brings together the lifehacks and mini-upgrades that encourage you to make your life a little bit easier, a little bit less stressful, a little bit better, a little more loving toward yourself and the humans around you.
