Life as a Dare

Making Every Moment Count

My Phone Controls my Life!

I am pretty sure I have some sort of phone addiction. I’m not kidding.

I’ve been on a quest for simplicity and minimalism in my life for the last year or so, and although I am getting there slowly but surely, online stuff is really my kryptonite. (That and all the hoards of beauty crap I’ve accumulated over the last 20 years of being female.)
