There was a time when we didn’t need much. The patches on our jeans measured our commitment to a simple life embroidered with beauty. But somewhere along the way many of us turned into Hippie-crites, becoming more materialistic than the establishment we condemned. As we enter the next phase of our lives we have to ask ourselves what all that consumption got us?
