Sorry my posts have been slightly sporadic lately (sometimes posting on Tuesdays, sometimes Thursdays), but this was a travel week (ie flying back to Cali from Hawaii). I’m not one to travel too often (and each time it tires the heck out of me), but traveling with an infant is 100 times harder for sure. I look forward to staying home for awhile! Though I’ll still be busy with moving (yep haven’t moved into our house yet)+fibroid surgery+all the holiday stuff. Fun times.
This is something you guys all probably already know but buying less is better than buying green. This article was a good reminder that just because I’m buying “better” doesn’t mean I should keep buying. A “green materialist” as they call it, is a materialist all the same with a bunch of (“green”) things in a closet/house/etc. that will need to be taken care of and eventually responsibly disposed of. My favorite way of decluttering is to sell things since I know the new owner wanted the item enough to buy it (but this only works when you buy quality resellable things to begin with, ie no fast fashion). But still I wonder how simpler my life would be if I wasn’t constantly buying and selling things?
Also I’m still trying to finish my bottle of Sunday Riley’s Good Genes, which I like as a face mask (but it’s too strong for my sensitive skin if I leave it on as a treatment). But I mention this because I read this week about how Sunday Riley’s CEO made employees write fake reviews on Sephora and then I went and read some reviews of this product. Long story short, I can no longer recommend this product because of the dubious ethics of the CEO and they apparently reformulated the product so it no longer is as good as it once was. Since my bottle of Good Genes is at least a year old, it’s still the old formula and works well. But I guess the newer stuff is no bueno.
And lastly, I feel like adding some light blues and browns to my winter wardrobe this year. I don’t really want to buy anything new so I’ll try to see what I can come up with using what I already have. But the pics above are some of my inspo from pinterest and they got me excited to try some new combos!
