From BundleHQ: Are you a packrat or a minimalist?

This photo, people. This is what it's all about.

(That said, I didn't stop and smell them. I had a morning note to write.)

What's going on in your world? One of the glorious things about Bundle is that you're already sharing it: Monica is jonesing for a periodic table shower curtain (who isn't!), Moriah is home-brewing shampoo from baking soda and apple cider vinegar, Emma's friends are downgrading their pet food, and Logan is thinking of travel insurance (for, you know, the next volcano).

I, meanwhile, spent the morning learning about Pasadena, Texas, thanks to Angela. I did a quick search on Flickr for images of the city, and this was the first one I found. The PWA is not yet a Bundle top merchant in the entertainment category.

Don't underestimate the cost of napkin holders: Morning shout-out to our new Friends of Bundle over at SavvySugar in SF. One of their readers today offers up some tough-love advice when planning a wedding: "Whatever you think your budget is going to be, add 10 percent."

Essential purchases for the home: In addition to the shower curtain, Monica took us through a list of dream purchases for her next apartment. And it explains why cost of housing is not just an isolated number — most people then need to (or eventually will) fill the thing up with furniture, electronics, exercise equipment, rugs, taxidermy, and other goods.

Question of the day: When it comes to your home, are you a packrat, or a minimalist? Post below, or tag yourself on the Twitter, #packrat, #minimalist.
