All my pretty ones

I've always been someone who likes stuff - trinkets, plants, more clothes and accessories than I need. Lately though, I've been more selective and thoughtful about the stuff I acquire, which means going for things I really love and will have for a while. I'm trying to pare down a bit, which actually started with beauty products - a couple of months ago I noticed that I had gone from an arsenal of hair and body products to a handful (several different kinds of oils and shea butter), completely unconsciously. From there it spread out to other areas in my life: the way I cook for myself, the clothes I buy, the pieces I buy for the house. I'm also trying to be okay with the fact that sometimes you have to be patient and let things come together organically. This all seems so basic and who knows if this way of living and thinking will last for any substantial amount of time, but it's an interesting change.
