Thirtydays #3 Shop small

Well I’m almost finished with my third thirtydays. Shopping small. I guess I should define what that means to me. Shopping small for me is shopping local. While in Maui I did go to Costco to get some of the food staples but that puts the locals to work. The rest of the shopping was at the small shops. I loved walking along the boardwalk in the historic district of Lahaina and down the street from our Airbnb in Kihei. I know some might consider these tourist traps but well I was a tourist lol. Some of those stores you could get lost in. Not because of their size but the amount of merchandise there was to see and touch….oops sorry Krystal lol. Good thing they all had hand sanitizer going in and out. My favorite find was the quilt blocks that were hand cut from Aloha shirts. Awesome! They did all the hard work for me.

I also consider shave ice a shopping item. Ululani’s Hawaiian Shave Ice was the best. Ice cream in the center with shave ice on top. Then you choose your flavor toppings and then add the fresh mochi and haupia cream. Yum!

I went to a few craft/farmers markets. This is what lead to the problem of packing it all home. Hahaha. Every. Single. Trip. Oh well.

Which brings me to my next thirtydays. Spring has sprung and I am in need of a little spring cleaning. So my goal for April is to get the house cleaned out, room by room. No, I’m not going all Marie Kondo and touching everything while asking myself if the item brings me joy. 🤣 I will be looking at it, determining when I last touched it and tossing it if applicable. I’m thinking that will be much less time consuming.

Fingers crossed for April 1st😁
