Announcement:
There’s a 15% off sale store wide on my Etsy store Photocardsbeauty for the next week!
These cards are to write messages from your heart into and send to people you cherish.
It should come up automatically, but if it doesn’t just use the code AUTUMNSALE20 (yes, I live in Australia where it’s the end of the summer).
The link is in the ribbon above, OR here’s another link:

Happy shopping!
“Urges are like bubbles in a lemonade glass. If you leave the lemonade glass on the counter and go back to it the next day, [there are] not so many urges, not so many bubbles.”
Professor Mike Kyrios, a clinical psychologist from Flinders University

Loved this article from the ABC news about how to buy less stuff online. This is good advice, and also a good article.
Thanks ABC.
This is my response to the three things challenge from pensivity101
Shopping: Bargain, Parking, Shelf
Contractual relationships– our lives are governed by parameters and hierarchies. Breaking free of it leaves me breathless, searching out: faith, friendship, family, and work that serves the community.
And I know that Kmart doesn’t pay their workers right, but I catch myself searching for bargains. Who can resist those $2 bouncy balls?
Always hurrying my shopping so I don’t have to pay for parking, adding one more book to shelves crammed with books and ornaments.
Then complaining that I don’t have enough.
In reality there’s plenty of honey in the cupboard; I’m safe.
