every wander

Lately I've been seeing videos pop up on my YouTube recommended videos list "Everything I bought the past year" and it's so crazy to see how little people buy! It has inspired me to try to buy less since last year I feel like I was buying way too much by the end of the year. I really want to become more minimal, finding content in the things I have now and to stop comparing what I have with what I could have. Hopefully keeping note of this will help me in this journey! Note : February has only started and I've literally already bought more than some of those videos I've seen on YouTube  😂 . But again, I should stop comparing myself since this journey is my own. January  // $168.98 // 29 items 8th // Walmart Checks & address stickers - $22.57 Okay, so the address stickers probably weren't necessary, but they're puppies come on 💖 And hopefully it'll motivate me to send out more snail mail 11th // Goodwill  - $46.06 Just picked up ...

Those online store ads on Facebook and Instagram actually got me! Below is my quick review on a couple of my recent online store purchases from Zaful and Goodmanity. Zaful  The handful of items purchased. This shirt seems like pretty alright quality. The label also states that it's sweatshop free, which is awesome. ($14.25) This sweater is quite cute! The color and fit are both very nice. The packaging was also sleek in the Zaful ziplock bag. ($16.99). I'm not one to spend much on clothes, so $16.99 was kind of expensive to me, but this sweater is unique and worth it. You definitely get what you paid for. When I put on the first necklace (gold without the bead - $2.56), one of the metal circles was too loose and it fell apart. Although it was an easy fix with putting the metal back into the circle, it's definitely not something that should be necessary to do when you buy an item. The other two necklaces have not broken (yet). Overall though, the necklaces are...

A few Antique Store finds today! I love going antique shopping. Though it can be kind of creepy and sketchy in those stores sometimes, you can find some brilliant items! My favorite local antique store near me is Antiques on Main . This morning I grabbed some coffee and headed there before going to "work" at home. Coffee at Avant Garden before antique shopping :)  A Whiting & Davis cross-body purse ($ 22.50) When I saw this I immediately knew I was going to buy it! It's chic and the perfect size that I wish all purses were. I then looked up the brand and saw the brand is actually quite an expensive one going for $150+. It was definitely a plus that it comes with a small cross-body inside it. This bag will be perfect for days and nights out!  A Dofan France handbag ($19.50)  There was another purse similar to this that also caught my attention, but the white leather lining inside totally bought me. This leather purse feels quite fine. I like ...
