Shopping Ban

shopping

A couple of weeks ago I saw this challenge on Danielle's blog & my initial thought was: how insane. See, I answered yes to all the questions, I can relate; I have a shopping problem & the thought of not buying anything for 100 days? Yikes! It pains me slightly to have to do this but desperate times call for drastic measures, I need to stop burying my head in the sand before I end up bankrupt. Okay, slight exaggeration but I do live well beyond my means! I intend to finish the challenge on June 1st (which is technically only 83 days but who's counting?) & my rules are:

One No shopping for clothes, shoes or accessories,

Two No make-up or nail polish,

Three No skincare or toiletries until I've used all the stuff I have,

Four & no take-aways!

Essentials such as food & travel don't count & I'm allowing myself magazines & social events (eating out, nights out, cinema, gigs etc).

If you'd like to join the challenge, read the initial post HERE
Wish me luck!

      I have some willpower but it comes & goes lmao I've finally got one part of my life on the right track (weight loss) but everything else is off the rails! Sounds like a plan :)

    Good Luck Steph! I'm participating too, I can't believe the new Domino Dollhouse stuff has come out on the day I've started. Want to cry haha.

    I'm hoping to save up enough to treat myself to a Mac computer because I've lusted after one for years.

      Thanks lovely! That's like I went to London yesterday & all I could buy was food wahhh. A Mac computer would be amazing though, definitely worth it!

    This is exactly the inspiration I was looking for, thank you! In the past few months I've realised my spending has escalated and need a serious intervention. I'll be attempting this myself over the next few months. Wish me luck :D!
