Whether it be an article of clothing or an object, I wanna know I'm getting my money's worth.

I'm still trying to practice what I preach here. Capitalism makes it pretty hard; they want to keep us buying things so instant pleasure and gratification is marketed and thrown at us everywhere, and makes us feel like to be accepted in society, we must always have the latest "thing." But I've started to realize nothing deeply good can come easy, or cheap for that matter. It feels way more satisfying to know I've purchased something of quality, something that means something to me, something that'll last, rather than a cheap fad that'll have to be replaced soon anyway. Not to mention knowing and caring WHERE your money is going (small businesses over large corporations, looking into what the company stands for.) There are so many times I've told myself I can't afford something I really want and am drawn to, when I've realized how much I've spent on stupid little cheap things that don't matter to me. For yourself, for others, for the planet, spend INTENTIONALLY. And if that means you end up owning less, good! And while you're at it, do a bit of Marie Condo-ing (but please, donate what you can for christ's sake.) You might experience a little withdraw with the lack of stuff and lack of spending, but I think overall you'll feel lighter, freer and more satisfied!

its so tempting to get a bunch of cheap items from somewhere but since buying a couple long lasting non tarnishing jewelry items and real leather clothes n shoes, wallet and backpack even, i feel like we should go back to the olden days and get things that will last decades on decades

If you have ever been to a swimming hole with a rope swing and ran around lifting up rocks to look for snakes you must be living an epic and also awesome life. If you haven't, try it sometime :-D

The Yellow Deli is a restaurant chain owned and run by the religious group called the twelve tribes. The original location was opened in 1973 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, but they are all around the world (there are a few in upstate New York). The interior and exterior of the buildings are straight out of the shire from Lord of the rings. If you can picture Bilbo Baggins’ house-that's pretty much what they look like. They say that they serve “the fruit of the spirit”, which is all made from scratch and grown on their own farms. Their Country ranch sandwich and veggie burger will buss your head right off. They also have insano waffles. It’s my death bed meal forsure.

I’m talkin about the classics. I love that spine chilling outlaw shit with lyrics about scary ghost cowboys, sleeping in a boxcar on a moving train, prison blues, repenting for your sins, and being heartbroken. From albums like The Louvin Brothers’ “Satan Is Real” (1959), to Johnny Cash's “Live At Folsom Prison” (1968), to Bruce Springsteen’s “Nebraska” (1982), I can’t get enough!
