Moving from conspicuous to conscious consumption and doing reviews along the way.  Find plenty of unsponsored reviews of Quince, Everlane, Grana, and Cuyana on the site!  I'm working towards a minimal waste lifestyle, and oh yea I love bags >.<

May Shopping Ban Update

What?! I can't believe it's already June!  This means my shopping ban is almost half-way through!  And funnily enough, I'm just starting to get used to it.  I mean I still want new stuff of course, like these Elizabeth Suzann Clyde linen pants up top (the search for the perfect ethically made linen pants continues!).  But I don't feel like I need it right now, and I'm actually okay to wait until next summer.  Somehow the urgency is gone and the need to shop is gone.

However I am still getting new things in for review from Everlane, Grana and Cuyana.  But most of those are requested by readers, and I can't say no to readers (lol, actually thanks for enabling me guys and giving me suggestions.  I totally love it and am just using y'all as an excuse but really keep the requests coming).  So I do get a small steady stream of new things into my life, which I'm super grateful for.

But right now I'm feeling good.  It's like day 3 on a juice cleanse you know: you get past all the crankiness and hard days and you finally are on a day that feels effortless.  I think that's where I'm at with this shopping ban.

By the way these jumpsuits from YSTR caught my eye, and I would probably have tried one out if I wasn't on a ban.  But I don't need it.
