Reduce, Recycle and Reuse

A materialist concentrates on accumulating things and a minimalist thinks of how to get rid of things, ultimately both are focusing thoughts on stuff. We accumulate stuff and then think of ways to purge it out of life (this is the First World Phenomena).

Owning more than what we need is consumerism, I think we all are consumerists in that sense. All I can say is don’t have a lifestyle of mindless consumerism, don’t be an impulsive consumer be a mindful one. The more realistic thing to do is donate things that you don’t use than giving away things in the name of minimalism. Know what is in your drawers, cupboards, fridge, and corners. Donate anything that is not used for a few years. Ultimately have things that you utilize and utilize what you already have!

Girl on the train

'Girl on the train' has a very gripping story. I just couldn't keep the book down and finished it over the long weekend, no wonder it is New York bestseller since last two and a half years. If you like murder mysteries then I would definitely recommend it.

Urge

When we look at something beautiful why can't we just appreciate its beauty and move on? why is this constant urge to have, to own it? After not buying anything for 3 straight years (except obviously groceries) I thought I was over and done with the URGE until I saw this skirt....
