Materialism Vs Minimalism

Queen of Materialism Versus Queen of Minimalism She shops and shops and shops and shops. She is either in a store or on the phone. Amazon boxes surround her house. Some are opened, some are not. She is a consumer, smothered under boxes. You can find her hand reaching toward the computer As she tries to click “buy” but the rest of her is under boxes. Hear that click? She just bought something else. Will she have time to open all of these boxes before she dies? Doubtful. The Queen of Materialism lives. Our next Queen has signed up to be in a tour of homes. Her friends are horrified. It is a Christmas tour. She has no Christmas stuff. She has no quilts, no tree, no ornaments, no stuff. Her house is black and white and blah. There are no pictures on her wall. She would not recognize an Amazon box. She is not curious, not interesting, not tantalized by shiny things. Colorful sassy things do not amaze, intrigue or entice her. She does not go into stores, and she does not shop online. Her house is stark, empty, bereft. She is the Queen of Minimalism.
