Day 17 - 25 Days of Ridiculous Things I See in Holiday Catalogs

Day 17 - Release Bowl




So this is a bowl that looks like I made it myself at a ceramics place in the mall.  Its cute and all, but they're not really selling the artistry of the bowl.  They're selling the idea of what you're supposed to do with the bowl, which is "Put your thoughts down on paper, say a prayer, and then burn the paper", which is a fine idea if you think it will help you in some way, bring you some peace or "create a new pathway for your journey through life", as they suggest.  But, here's the thing -- you can do that for free and throw the burnt paper in your kitchen sink, or in any old bowl in your cabinet. You don't have to pay $27 (+ shipping)  for a Release Bowl, which someone in your house is going to just end up putting chex mix in, messing up your whole energetic vibe.
