Time for them to go!<br /><br />@Afrikan Latina Thank you!Letting go of things that are taking up space is definitely liberating!<br /><br />@Milan Get one, it will be the last computer you ever buy! They are built to last :-) - And I used to be the biggest hoarder as well, I swear getting rid of things was like ripping out a piece of my soul. LOLLLL<br /><br />@Closet Confections I love how you put that, as I tend to realize I didn't need whatever I was holding on to AFTER I finally got rid of it. LOL And yes! I am going to put some stuff on Ebay sometime this weekend ;-)<br /><br />@UrbanGlamGyrl We need to link up one of these days since you are local! Letting go of things you have held on to for awhile is hard, but mandatory to make room for new things/memories! <br /><br />@Beverly Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!!<br /><br />@Encourage and Uplift Exactly, we make room for more meaningful memories, and we lose our need to have "stuff" fill whatever void we have in our lives.<br /><br />@mysskay Hello fellow hot cocoa fan! I totally feel you, especially here living in L.A it is easy to get caught up in trying to "keep up with the joneses".<br /><br />@Liz Ha! Thank you so much! I scored the hat from Ebay!<br /><br />@The CultureCynic Thank you so much chica! You couldn't have said it better, we have definitely become a nation that invests in trends rather than ideas. We need to hang out one of these days!! I love connecting with others who are traveling along the same plane [although I am not sure of your location, however I do get around]<br /><br />@IdreaminChanel Thank you so much :D<br /><br />@Anonymous Thank you very much!!!

I love living vicariously through you in thrifting, and you're super creative, which I love. I know this blog is mainly about you, but I can't help to experience hair envy when I see photos of your friend, Lo. Would there be any way that you could do a spotlight on her? I'd love to know her regimen; I've got hair that is around the same texture as hers but mine is no where near as long. :-) Thanks bunches, and keep on inspiring!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6619950971211244776.post-43376447093090904212010-06-16T15:26:06.396-07:002010-06-16T15:26:06.396-07:00The CultureCynic stole my thoughts right out of my...The CultureCynic stole my thoughts right out of my head.

In this culture where we obsess over trivial fashion trends and investing in things rather than ideas, it is refreshing to see women who are not consumed by it but rather try to rise above it.
