Hi everyone, my name is Lexi. I have recently done an experiment and it has come to my attention that my wants and needs are two very different things. I was told that every time the newest iPhone comes out I don't need it or I don't need a new pair of converse every month. What I do need though is to go to the grocery store once a month, especially with 5 people living in the house. I have to tell myself every now and then that my phone is just fine and I don't need the new one, even when my friends wont be quite about it. Not only would I be saving money by not getting the new phone but I will also be helping the environment be a better place.

Hi Lexi! I'm glad you realized that you don't need new things every month. I am also a person who likes new shiney things but instead of buying new converse you can jazz them up, upcycle, dare I say. To be honest if you put time and effort and jazzing up some of your old items clothing your friends will be interested by them, I know from experience.
