M I N S G A M E: D A Y 1 A big bag of ripped/stained clothes, sheets, towels, etc. that I’ve been meaning to take to the dump for textile recycling for several months! Technically more than one thing, but go big or go home right? ... #minsgame #minimalismgame #decluttering #tokenandbliss

So I’m playing the #MinsGame for the third time. We’re putting our house up for sale this week and I feel like there’s a lot of stuff I just don’t want to bring with me when we move. Hence another big Mins Game purge! Not sure if I’m gonna make it to day 30 but we’re gonna try!! If you’d like to join in on the challenge, head on over to my blog (tokenandbliss.com/minsgame3) to download a free printable chart to keep track of all the things you’re getting rid of! Let the March minimizing begin! Day 1 post coming shortly...

I just love seeing all the adorable little Baby Yodas that y’all have made from my pattern! Thank you and may the force be with you all! I have spoken. #tokenandbliss #crochet #instacrochet #starwars #babyyoda #thechild #babyyodacrochet #babyyodaamigurumi #starwarsamigurumi #diy #crochetpattern

"A 'life-cycle assessment' is basically where somebody goes and looks at the full environmental impact of a productsay a smartphonefrom manufacturing to dispo...sal and looks at what the air pollution impacts are, the mining impacts, the carbon impacts. The one thing we do know is that the biggest impact of most products is the manufacturing side. So if you want to reduce the environmental impact of your consumption, the best way to do that is to not manufacture more stuff. In that sense, the best thing you can do is not buy more stuff." via NPR

Welcome to the decade! If you could go back in time 10 years, what would you tell yourself? I would probably say something like this: ... Hey self. The next decade is going to be wild. You’re going to fall in love, get married, and have a beautiful little baby girl. You’re going to graduate from university and travel to a lot of cool places. You’re going to experience unimaginable pain and heartbreak, but you’re also going to feel so happy at times that you find it hard to breathe. You’re finally going to get a proper diagnosis for that mental illness you don’t yet understand. You’re going to learn that by not facing your fears, you’re only making your fears more powerful. You’re going to stand tall in the face of adversity and keep going even when you feel like you can’t. You’re going to find new passions and learn new skills. You’re going to learn to take life less seriously. You’re going to discover the power of simplicity. You’re going to figure out the difference between living and surviving, and this is the decade that you’re finally going to stop letting anxiety dictate your life. It’s going to be tough sometimes, but it’s also going to be wonderful. Here’s to another year and another decade.

Hey friends!! It’s been awhile, but I’m back! I just posted a Baby Yoda crochet pattern up on the blog, because he’s just so cute that I couldn’t not make a pattern. Head on over there to check it out and see what I’ve been doing since January... www.tokenandbliss.com/babyyoda
