Ditch it: Goal pants and fat pants
In May 2011, I participated in a 5K race.

Tiny purses
I mentioned before, in No chihuahuas in my purse, that I was going to try out a little bag instead of carrying around a huge messenger bag as a purse. I absolutely adore my Ameribag Baglett, which is relatively tiny (a checkbook fits in it but that's about as long an object as it will accommodate) … Continue reading Tiny purses
Minimalist jewelry box
Is your jewelry box overstuffed?
