    One Shirt, Two Shirts, Red Shirt, Blue Shirt

    March 22, 2011

    Tweet Hi, My name is Amanda and I have a problem. (That’s where it starts right..) When I find a shirt I like, I buy it in every color. Or at least I buy it in two or three colors.  Now, there may be a line of reasoning somewhere that says this isn’t such a bad idea. I mean, when you really like something, why not have multiples of it? The problem comes when this is not a one time process. And I mean, really, how many striped polo shirts does one person need? Because I have a green striped one, a blue one, an orange one, and a grey…

    Inspiration from One Dress Protest :)

    March 17, 2011

    Tweet Wear the same dress everyday for a year. Fight the tides of consumerism and materialism and status quo for a whole year. Endure questions and ridicule and praise and media attention. Inspire, challenge, and motivate others to do the same. Meet Kristy Powell and her One Dress Protest. Not only is she an amazing person, who took on an incredible challenge, she is a sister in Christ and an astounding role model.   For the past few weeks I have been really convicted over my habits, my desires, and my thoughts about fashion, and clothing and have been really challenged to think differently about my role in this crazy,…

    Becoming a Minimalist

    March 4, 2011

    Tweet While its maybe a little late in 2011 for resolutions, I am declaring a theme for the rest of the year. Less is More or Experiments in Becoming a Minimalist Living on a small island has developed in me a love for simplicity and as I start to determine what of my stuff I am going to ship home, I am realizing just how much I have that….I don’t need! So while I shipped 15 or so boxes out here, my limit for going home is four. This is experiment #1: Get rid or give away 11 boxes of stuff-more if I can! I want to keep the stuff…

    Why not?

    February 22, 2011

    Tweet I have spent much of my morning reading up on the blogs I follow and catching up on my Twitter list and through that hit a point of revelation. Kinda one of those duh moments.. Passion+hard work=ability to make dreams reality I was reading about all these normal people that got fired up over ideas and made them a reality. They started a clothing business like this one. Or they created a play like this. They are teaching women to sew scarves here. The list could go on and go as I have spent two hours reading up on similar ideas. As I was reading their stories and getting…
