I was pretty good in the spending arena this week. I only bought three things that I didn't really need to. One of them was a Starbucks drink of course! That was all I bought in four stores though which I thought was good. Another was this new magazine called ReadyMade. I'm not sure if it's actually new or not, but it was new to me. It is a magazine that shows you how to do stuff; as it says "instructions for everyday life." With my life seemingly stagnated with a directionless abyss of unanswered questions, the ones that used make me sing in the shower not so long ago, this seemed like it was calling my name. Those words seduced me so much that not even a $4.99 price tag would deter me. To encourage me further, as if it were intended just for me, "The Great Escape" was scrolled on the front cover too. The magazine didn't answer my volume of questions, but what it did do is give me perspective. For every goal there's steps to be taken to accomplish it. Every step in a project is done in an order, from first to last, and if you try to skip a step the project doesn't turn out right. In any case, and without getting sappy on you, I'll just tell you about the picture below.
It's GREAT to get organized, but even better to be organized on a trip. This picture seemed so idealistic. That your whole life could be fit snugly into a little suitcase...whether it's actually true or not, it sounds so perfect. So check out the magazine and the how to's in it that go with this pic!
The only other thing I got this week was a vera bradley make-up case for all the make-up on the go! <3 Getting more things done and spending less...this was a step in the plan :-)
