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?
shopping shopping
Ahhh! Here we go. Ok, let's start out by saying that I haven't gone to the mall in a while. In college, there was a point where I would avoid going to the mall on purpose (old school way of not shopping and being content). I figured that if I wasn't seeing all the pretty displays, I wouldn't know what I was missing or what was in style at the time. I used to be the girl who would go maybe 2-3 times a year and get a bundle of "good deals" each time spending $100-200.
healthy living: water filtration
Do you really know what's in your water? Growing up, I never drank filtered water and rarely drank bottled water. What came out of our tap was fine for us. You may be one of the select few that remember that time as well, but for our children, they will most likely not have that memory. However, the few options commonly known to most people are not really helping anyone. They provide the illusion of good water, or if in a bottle, at what cost to the consumer or the environment?
