end of the week exfoliation
Another week comes to an end. I have to admit, this week’s exfoliation item didn’t get picked right away. I looked in my usual spots (kitchen, closet) and eventually came upon this woven belt which I have used the last two or three years. Last summer I wore it more out of necessity than choice. [...]

Tuesday, March 3, 2009
The term makeunder often brings to mind simplifying and paring away unnecessary clutter. And this is generally the idea. But a conversation with a friend brought to light a distinction within that definition which I can only describe using an example I learned from a Mexican executive at a business conference in my previous life [...]

This weekend I spoke with a friend about how my vegan cleanse fit under the makeunder umbrella. My friend didn’t understand how eating vegan was actually making under, since it was more expensive, made eating out difficult, and made cooking more complicated. And I admit, she was right on all three accounts. It was challenging [...]

This week’s exfoliation was both obvious and a bit tricky. It is obvious that I should pass on this camera to someone who could use it because I have gotten a new, better camera. Since I only use one camera, I only need one camera. Duh. But then this little voice in the back of [...]

So now that I am back to being flexitarian* I have decided to continue a few of the habits I formed while on the cleanse. Here is a quick run down of my new intentions: Regarding meat and dairy I actually didn’t mind going without dairy as much as I thought I would, so I [...]

At long (three week) last, I have reached the end of the Kathy Freston’s Quantum Wellness Cleanse with my friend, Kaitlyn. I have mentioned this cleanse a fair amount but now I feel it is time to come “clean” and share the ups and downs of making under my diet. To summarize, I have decided [...]

Friday, February 6, 2009
You would think that someone who is interested in living simply would fix or throw away boots with a broken zipper. But strangely, that has not been the case for me and my tall brown boots. These questionably faux leather boots were my “go to” shoe of winter, 2007. I wore them daily until the [...]

Thursday, February 5, 2009
unfortunately not my actual credit card, but boy is it funny! photo found on flickr A few days ago a friend mentioned that in order to curb unnecessary spending, she chose to stop using her credit card for a month. I was incredulous. A whole month with no credit card? I am the type of [...]

This is the coolest trick ever. Okay, maybe not the coolest, but way up there. Up there with turning a tangelo into a dessert bowl. It’s that cool.Here is the deal: every two weeks I shop at Trader Joe’s for groceries and I struggle to determine whether or not it is worth buying fresh cut [...]

Monday, February 2, 2009
Part of my quest to live the “made-under life” is to appreciate things that I have in addition to ridding my space of things I don’t need. So this post is an ode to my silver daily planner and blog inspiration notebook. I love everything about them. They are soft, supple, and collect all my [...]
