Made a pretty decent dent in that bed pile... shirts, pants and skirts are back in the closet... separated the blouses and t-shirts. Not sure how I feel about that. Might have to switch them back. Thinking a lot of those military and concert t-shirts are going to be a T-shirt quilts soon, especially the autographed ones. Maybe. :). And with that day 1 of Tidying Up is done. Hope my guest bed is comfy because my back is killing me! Ugh. #tidyingupwithmariekondo @mariekondo #step1clothes #konmarimethod #konmari #simplifyingmylife #decluttering #sparkjoy https://www.instagram.com/p/Bualw3yBQ-4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1id4ybdwhpjpl

As I watched my cell phone fall to the ground after a student was just trying to hug me & I picked it up in terror what I knew would be--this saying came to mind. It's just a cell phone. #littlereminders #stillworks #simplifyingmylife

I found a gold mine.

Well, not an actual gold mine, but a spot in the mall called Eastern Trader where they have tons of stones and crystals and even geodes for less than $20! Sydney and I added a large Rose Quarts and Amethyst to our collection last week and I am so happy and excited! I let them charge in the sun on a huge slab of Selenite that I saved up for and the vibe in our room is amazing! :-0

So excited! My next endeavor is to get a small, basic sewing machine and make my own bags for my stones and a tarot bag with a separate section for some protective and intuative stones to share with their travels with me.

ALSO! Sydney bought me a camera charger! She's gonna use it for shooting videos and I am gonna use it for just capturing life. I cannot express how excited I am!

Now I am seriously considering downsizing my phone to something more simple and giving her my phone so she has something nicer than what she has. I feel so bad with her having such a crappy phone and she can't watch youtube videos on or do anything she wants to. So I am thinking about rebooting it and starting over.

I have so many "selfies" and stupid photos in my phone that I am not going to do anything with. I don't want to be one of those people who walk around glued to my phone anymore. A simple, smaller smartphone will be just fine for me. I kind of want one that can only store so much data so I don't end up with 1,000+ pictures I'm never going to care about like I do on my phone now.

Google + has been saving all of my photos, I don't think that's a good thing but it's nice because I'm not going to lose the photos in my phone that I am trying to rid my data of.

Tonight, I am:

1. Deleting my photos from my phone and saving the ones I care about in my folders in my laptop.

2. Making a list of apps I did like and would like to download onto another, more simple start-over phone.

3. Getting rid of accounts I haven't used/that are old/that don't matter.

4. Delete profiles on anything not Tumblr, Instagram, or Facebook but also build up my Google + account because it can save bookmarks and pictures and awesome stuff that I DO give a shit about. (:

The tags made me laugh.

:D I am currently exploring safe ways to be angry, and calling people/things "stupidhead" is a lot of fun. I am basically six years old.

The ereader search continues...

simplifyingmylife said: Maybe you would like a tablet. An advantage to using one of these as an ereader is that you are not locked into one book seller.

That *is* my main aim, to avoid something like the Kindle, where it's a pain in the arse to buy from anyone other than Amazon. And I hate DRM quite a lot too. (Essentially renting files, doesn't stop people sharing.)

I already have an iPad, which I like very much. However, I'm finding that I only use the reading apps and very occasionally a drawing app. So I think it's time to sell it and get a dedicated ebook device.

So far I've found that there are some reputable ereaders tied to a particular shop, like the Nook for Barnes & Noble, and the Kindle for Amazon.com. But there are a couple, like the Sony ereader and the Kobo, that are not made by a publisher or bookshop chain. These are the ones recommended to me on Twitter, and so far I really like the look of the Kobo Glo. It also supports lots of ebook formats, has removable storage and wifi, and pretty good resolution.

Any ereader I get will be so much lighter than my iPad. Yes good.

Is this your etsy shop?

Oh my word no. I am partly buying this top in order to learn how to sneakily make duplicates though. I am getting it sent to my holiday location because I leave on Monday, bwahaha.
