Having a slim wardrobe or a capsule has forced me to look more intentionally at my closet. How it works well together, where the gaps might be, and how it makes me feel on any given day. I don’t think I ever have spent this much time thinking about those things previously. I probably could have very easily done so before, but I didn’t and therefore continued to spend cluelessly.

Food. It can be a love/hate relationship at times. I've heard many different perspectives over the years of how to eat/not eat, diet/not diet, etc. I know there are different schools of thought, but I want to talk about my present reality and what that's looked like as of late.

I'm amazed at the difference between yesterday and today. Yesterday was not so pretty. It was rough. It felt like trying to button jeans that were definitely a size too small. Desperately trying to make them work, but inevitably having that disappointing feeling as you just can't get them to work. And then just feeling worse about yourself because you're just reminded that you can't fit in them like you once used to.

It's been a little over a year since we found out that we were pregnant for the first time. We lost that baby in the end of December and since then have been pregnant and miscarried two additional times. So in under a year that's been three pregnancies and three miscarriages. It's been a lot.

I've been thinking about writing this post for some time now. I'm still not really sure how I want to go about it since there's so much content floating around in my head all mostly related to this one thing. How can we be intentional consumers?
