Tuesday Update: Keeping Sandy in Mind.
November 6, 2012
My hometown continues without power. The whole area is completely devastated. I wish I could physically help, or at least donate all my excess clothing now that it’s so cold out. Still, I struggle. I wanted to browse at TJMaxx this morning. What stopped me? The thought of how gross it would be if I…

Tuesday Update: Goal-Based Shopping.
January 29, 2013
I don’t want to buy any more clothes until I lose weight. I know, I know, everyone says this. But this is the first time I’ve ever said it. See, I’m a firm believer in dressing for your current body. I always want to look good so I make sure I have clothing that fits, even…

The Proliferation of Perfection.
January 30, 2013
I love Pinterest. It’s a fun way to gather thoughts, recipes, and cool home decorating ideas for how to make your house look like an Ikea catalog for even less than Ikea prices. However, the more I look at it, the more I want to stick a fork into the word “perfect“. The perfect winter…

February 5, 2013
One of my goals was to find some healthier habits to replace shopping. Honestly, this was one of the lowest priorities for me and I didn’t think I’d actually tackle it this soon. But my heart and mind were ready to be inspired by the success story of a stranger. It was the right time,…

Tuesday Update: Fitness Broke Unshopping.
February 12, 2013
So much for my new habit! Getting healthy and fit is taking a toll on my wallet. It shouldn’t, except that I am a gadget geek, as is my husband. Last month, I bought a nifty little device that tracks my daily steps and calories burned. This month, I had an episode of sanctioned shopping…

Tuesday Update: One Size Fits Most (of Me).
February 19, 2013
It’s Tuesday! I bet you thought I’d skip an update again? Yeah, I thought I would, too. But only because the kids are on vacation and my days are off-schedule! I’m still working on one of my important goals, and probably will be forever. Replacing a bad habit with a good one, and in this…

Tuesday Update: Two Plus.
February 26, 2013
Remember last week, when I said I was only going to buy one top and one pair of pants for working out? Well, if you’ve been reading this blog, you know how well I do with sanctioned shopping. It was planned, I had “permission” to spend, and I had justification. I just didn’t have the…
