Day 6: The Skinny Bag Chronicles – The Curated CartThere’s something about grocery shopping that suddenly feels like an art form

There’s something about grocery shopping that suddenly feels like an art form if you make it one.

I can’t even toss a head of lettuce in my cart without making it intentional these days.

I’m not just navigating aisles—I’m strolling through the best whole foods produce section with a basket full of healing veggies, nourishing protein, and staples that actually make me feel good.

It’s all about curation.

Every item in my cart has to pass the “does it feel curated?” test:

• Fresh cucumbers? Chic.

• Frozen wild blackberries? perfection.

• greek yogurt, obviously.

• evian bottled water or a sparkling? Luxe vibes in my head.

  
  

I don’t just shop—I curate. My grocery cart is a little mood board, a collection of energy and intention.

Even the half dozen x-tra small cucumbers? Intentional. Chic. Necessary.

No awkward life-choice regrets at checkout—just curated energy and structure. And yes… guilty as charged, I peek at other people’s carts. Always. do you do that?

Here’s what I stocked my basket with this week:

• Bananas

• Cucumbers

• Romaine

Every ingredient matters because how I fuel myself flows into the way I show up—whether that’s in the gym, at my desk, or just living life fully.

Grocery shopping isn’t mundane—it’s part of the routine that keeps me structured, energized, and aligned.

So next time you’re in the aisles, remember: it’s not just what goes in your cart, it’s how it makes you feel. And yes… make it curated. These are on repeat for me. xxh
