How I Shop
Consumption is a lifelong practice. I’d be considered a minimalist by everyone but minimalists. I have a strong preference for durable, long-lasting, high-quality purchases and buying from makers that stand behind their products. That said, I’m totally human:) I make compromises for cost and convenience.
