Eat, Pray, Spend

Priv-lit and the new, enlightened American dream

Eat, Pray, Spend

Article by Joshunda Sanders and Diana Barnes-Brown, Illustrated by Ana Mouyis, published in 2010;
 
For decades, self-help literature and an obsession with wellness have captivated the imaginations of countless liberal Americans. Even now, as some of the hardest economic times in decades pinch our budgets, our spirits, we’re told, can still be rich. Books, blogs, and articles saturated with fantastical wellness schemes for women seem to have multiplied, in fact, featuring journeys (existential or geographical) that offer the sacred for a hefty investment of time, money, or both. There’s no end to the luxurious options a woman has these days—if she’s willing to risk everything for enlightenment. And from Oprah Winfrey and Elizabeth Gilbert to everyday women siphoning their savings to downward dog in Bali, the enlightenment industry has taken on a decidedly feminine sheen.  click here to read the rest of this article.

I Have Been Punished

By Stacya Seattle The Great American Apparel Diet 3 Comments »

Ok. Just went to Newark on Alaska Airlines, and lost that yellow coat I bought. My client says it is pay back for cheating, some kind of punishment from the universe. I don’t think filling out the “lost and found” form online with Alaska will do me any good. I really don’t think I will ever see that coat again. Shoot!

How much more time do we have left? I talked to Stephanie Greco the other day, and we are both so ready for this to be over. But….I am glad I did it. I really do see how many clothes I do have and I have been wearing them. And I think I will be a better shopper when this all comes to a close. So, when is that? I am going to take that day off to shop.

Thanks, Sally!

A few days ago, Sally came to my shop and gave me a fantastic sweater. She also gave me a blue 3/4 sleeve top…on the tag is says “Anne Fontaine Paris” and that make me feel fancy. Her website is annoying, though. Sorry Anne Fontaine! The wrap around sweater has beautiful flowers on the shoulder and the tag says Taxi CDC. Never heard of that one…doesn’t sound fancy. After going to the website I see it is a recycled clothing company, which I love! Now this sweater is my favorite sweater! I almost wore it two days in a row. This apparel diet is turning out pretty good for me. Thanks Sally! I owe pictures of my Via Spiga faux shearling coat from Bluefly and these two things, too.
Now, off to work on the redesign of my website www.beautyalert.biz because we have three gorgeous doctors who recommend our system!

OK, I Got the Coat

Hi. OK, the coat came from Bluefly.com and it is so fantastic. It is faux shearling from Via Spiga. I saved 39% by shopping at Bluefly.com. That is what is so hard to resist. I will try to make this my last cheating expedition. I am sorry. It won’t happen again. I don’t know what came over me. Now, off to blog about my new mascaras at www.beautyalert.biz/blog
