Living without a TV and finally being out of school has afforded me the luxury to start reading again. I have been reading about a book a week before bed and in my baths which is fabulous. I have applied for a library card, but I have been ordering my books online through Amazon and Barnes and Noble. I've been able to get some incredibly budget friendly deals - like Diane von Furstenberg's The Woman I Wanted To Be - new and hardcover for $2.71! I almost feel bad revealing it because it should not be so deeply discounted.
I am only a third of the way through this book, but I am deeming it a must-read for every woman. She has such a deep, rich past and it feels like you're getting an intimate lesson in life from the glamorous and daring grandmother you wish you had. For me, being 23, living alone in NYC and discovering so much of myself it is fascinating and inspiring for me to see how Diane looks at different situations and the remarkable success and accomplishments she has had in her life. I still don't know where I see myself in 5 years, but I find it encouraging to see where life can take you in the course of a decade (or several decades) and life is just really beautiful.
Had to share - I will let you know what's next on my list! Have several bargain books in transit. Other updates - I did a little damage because I had been so good and I found it only fair. A fall refresh was needed and now I am on my best behavior again - possibly for another 30 day detox. I also have a bright new addition to my apartment that I can't wait to share! I've been working hard on some of my quick projects and am trying to hopefully add some more freelance clients. Fingers crossed!
Best,
Tori
