Pretty little things

A little shopping excursion brought me to this lovely little bag! It’s the perfect summer clutch by Pilcro and the Letterpress. Since finding it reminded me of one of my favorite books, Entre Nous: A Woman’s Guide to Finding Her Inner French Girl
by Debra Ollivier, of course I had to pick it up!

//Mirrored Sparrow Pouch, Anthropologie

The book that inspired my impulse buy… and covers all sorts of pretty little things…

What type of consumer are you

There are two types of consumers. Those that use what they buy… and then there are the ones that buy things but don’t really use them. Then, there is my kind of consumerism…

I like to buy things (clearly). My usage though, is a little quirky. I have made a list of things I buy and how I use them.

Things I buy, and use frequently, and even overuse:
Clothes
Shoes
Books

Things I buy, use, then stop using or use sparsely because I don’t want to run out:
Eyeshadow
Shampoo
Hand Soap
Incense
Perfume
Stationary
Candles
And the list goes on…

Don’t get me wrong now, if I am running out of a great soap or shampoo, it’s not like I stop cleaning myself or my hair… I just resort to one I don’t like as much. The problem here, I am not living for today. Heck, if I buy it, I should use it right? That’s what it is here for! I should use these things until their death! I attribute my hoarding to my parents. Sorry mom and dad but I am selling you down the river! My whole life, mom and dad told me not to waste. Somehow, the term “waste” resonated with me and now don’t “waste” has become a don’t “use” ’til it’s death fear of mine… as if I cannot get more. We are the land of plenty right? This is another piece of the puzzle to my quest for true sanity.

Moral of the story, if you buy it, use it. If you don’t want to deplete it, don’t buy it.

A blender – a smoothie – and a sport bottle

Announcing (or pronouncing as my daughter would say)… the Oster BLSTPB-WBL My Blend 250-Watt Blender

What can I say? This little contraption is ahh-mazing! By the way, it works (no, really, I mean it This highly toned/tuned machine actually works well)… and… you can get it for only $29.99! Just for you, I am including my favorite smoothie recipe:

My favorite blended healthy beverage (that won’t pack on the extra poundage)!

In a blender, blend the banana, blueberries, strawberries, ice, orange juice, and yogurt until smooth. Now drink it, lick your lips and enjoy!
