Notes on Life : Improvement

So I have found that it is very satisfying and self-esteem producing to enhance one's life. I read a lot of lifestyle blogs in the pursuit of this and learned a few things about them.

1. Blogs tend to want to inspire you by showing you things that are in no way achievable by you. (a generalization of course)

2. Bloggers tend to be rich with blog money and give endorsements.
This means:

A. They are paid or sponsored by companies to feature and recommend their products. (Which still gives you a broad spectrum of products to see but tends to eliminate brands that can't afford promotion.)

B. They purchase materials for their beautiful life that are unattainable to the poor.

In all this, we are looking to surround ourselves with things that are beautiful.

I guess as a series on this blog I want to tell you about the things I have found that make me happy... that are attainable where you live now, with what you have now .. Things that I have learned through trial and error and I now recommend to you, so you don't have to! (I'm hoping)

Featuring ideas and products that are rigorously tested and researched!

Its not how much stuff you own or what you own .. its surrounding yourself with only the things you enjoy.

Minimalist editing.

-----> Remember this kindle ad? It made me believe that with a kindle I could definitely have a more magical life. But *spoiler* its not the kindle. These people's houses are organized and beautiful and filled with comfy and happy things.. and they are lit well, and they have done all their chores.



If you don't have your world arranged right, it doesn't matter if there is a kindle in it or not. Sure, the kindle can enhance your world's magical-ness.. so does any well designed device.. but if its already a mess, then the kindle isn't a wizard who can change that. Neither is a handbag or a cute dress or a new pair of sheets.

As I have been exploring my own world and what I want, I have found its not always the best organized, best designed or edited as beautifully as I'd like.

Join me on my journey as I impart my knowledge and redesign my own life!
