I've really overhauled my surroundings lately. I've cleared out probably half of my wardrobe for donating, selling, tossing. I'm heavily in the midst of redecorating my room and throwing things away and all that jazz. Winter is here. My uni break has started.
Long story short, many 'clear outs' have taken place this year incidentally or purposefully and now, midway through the year, I find myself fundamentally lacking things in several departments. Most, not all, of these objects fall under the category of will make life more practical yet nice. For example, my pants selection is now very dismal. I am wearing shorts right now as we speak because my only two pairs of at-home long pants are in the wash. The above is a visual list I can refer to when I'm out and about of what I need to pick up. My to-buy list has actually built up so much so that I feel jumbled enough to need to structure it visually.
Not listed because I am the pickiest of them all when it comes to selecting images:
#1 Vegan/cruelty-free dark lipstick. I don't think I have ever been properly makeup shopping. It's hard enough and now I want to purchase good quality, vegan lipstick. I will probably find myself in a labyrinth of specificity and heartache.
#2 Nail polish. I haven't painted my nails in over a year and a half (excluding formal AKA Stubborn Shellac Time). I just lost interest because it takes my meticulousness and I literally hours to paint my nails. And then I do something dumb like nap and ruin them. And it also just felt weird to have polish on my nails. But winter is depressing, I want some colour I do think.
#3 Lighter for my candles. All the candles. So many candles. I went from the smokiest Dusk matches in all the world (it would actually overpower the candle smell they were so ridiculous I tried so hard to use them all but I just gave up, they were awful) to a regular lighter (that I stole from my brother's desk and have yet to return) that I burnt the tip of my thumbnail with. Yeah, that actually happened. A long lighter would be wise.
I keep thinking of more things. I have decided to do a Part II. Compiling a list of things to buy is weirdly taxing. That's pretty anachronistic of me to feel/say considering I am deeply within the trenches of the consumer generation/society. Anyway, lots of love and light to everyone. Think about what practical, yet wonderful things you can productively fill your life with.
