Deep Thoughts about Shopping

This was my life for so long. Until I finally realized that running this “one” errand never ended with me purchasing just one item but rather getting to the store -likely finding what I need but not without grabbing a bunch of other, in the moment, seemingly important items. And now, years later I am finally having what I lovingly refer to as “Deep Thoughts” about just how one shops.

A Capsule Wardrobe: The Gateway Drug

A Capsule Wardrobe is the gateway drug to conscious consumption and a minimalist lifestyle. Once you begin to feel the positive, mood boosting, anti-clutter affects of a cleaner/ lighter closet, there is no doubt that you will need that kind of high throughout the rest of your life. And like a proper junkie with that first taste, you are a minimalist! Because being and becoming a minimalist are one and the same, just like building your capsule wardrobe was, it is a process, not an overnight transformation.
