    New Here~

    Hello, I live in the Southwest, currently working for a financial services firm and still working 100% from home. I spend my time always looking for ways to simplify my life and am currently doing a lot of decluttering and cleaning out my closet by selling on poshmark and mercari, ebay, etc. I am very outdoorsy and my partner and I like to hike, backpack, camp, offroad, and in general we prefer to just be 'doing'. Actually, he does way more backpacking than I do. I'm getting too old for his some of his adventures!
    I don't watch much television nor allow the news to permeate my daily existence.

    I am also a mom to a 23 year old college student who still lives at home. I have a cat. Always been a dog person, but this kitty needed a home so I adopted her from a friend and she's been a joy to have in the house.

    Hello and welcome, antelopebunny! You and your boyfriend sound very outdoorsy!

    I saw you were interested in the no clothes buying thread. Good luck with it!

    Welcome. It's good you enjoy the outdoors otherwise you might get cabin fever working from home. We have an Organizing Your Life section that focuses on decluttering.

    I visited the unique southwest in early 2019 and loved it.

    Welcome from SW Washington!
    My therapist told me the way to achieve true inner peace is to finish what I start. So far today, I have finished two bags of M&Ms and a chocolate cake. I feel better already!

    I used to have to dress very professionally for my job when I was in front of clients, pre-pandemic, of course. Now, I shop for fun and boredom. Hence the reason I am trying to simplify my life. When we go back to office next month, I'll only be going back once a week. I clearly won't need my massive wardrobe and I'm not even sure what fits or is in trends anymore anyway. Been living in yoga clothes for the past 2 years, it seems.
