I told you this blog would be about intentionality. And it should be, dammit!
So, I have been following The Minimalists for a few years now. In their recent podcast #262/Materialism they discuss thoughts about society and our relationship with material goods. There's even a notion that we just might not be materialistic enough! (that's actually a quote from their wonderful documentary)
Anyway, we are all subject to the lure of finding the "best deal" - but it still comes with a cost to occupy the thing. It may take more car insurance, more gas money, more storage space, more bank payments and worse yet, time. If you buy that new shiny dress, are you keeping the 5 other dresses you haven't even tried on in years? I don't own a dress, by the way, but you get my point.
The Minimalists are extremely intentional and provide some of the best tools I've yet found on helping people simplify their lives. I shall refer to them often!
Stay safe,

P.S. You might want to sleep on that Louis Vuitton sleep mask before you make such a purchase? Or maybe, it could replace the other 850 sleep masks you've been hoarding! Google it for the price, if you so dare. It’s crazy...
