No Buy Year 2025
I have managed to resist falling prey to new clothing sales. I have a $30 credit that will expire mid-March so I know I will buy something, but what? It's strange to realize that there isn't anything I really need. There are some things I might
No Buy Year 2025
Last week was... rough. I don't know if it's just the state of things or just... everything... but it was rough, and I don't think I am alone in that. I cancelled pre-paid plans on Thursday because I just couldn't deal with
Monthly Empties
Used up: 1. Bioderma - Sensibio H2O Micellar Water (500 ml): this was the last of my Paris bottles. I love this micellar water. It's by far my favorite. I will forever repurchase. Right now I'm working on a Costco-size bottle from Costco so it will
No Buy Year 2025
I feel like I have a good plan how to tackle the house. We don't have any trips hanging over our heads this year. At least, not knowingly. Knock on wood that everyone is in good health and stays safe to ward off funerals for the year. Anyway,
No Buy Year 2025
I feel like I'm spending so much money this month. But part of it is because I'm being conscious about my spending so I'm more aware of it. But yesterday we went to a show and I bought some merch (being in the "
No Buy Year 2025
This is not related to a No Buy Year, but I must clear my head. In 2021, I thought I should pick up journaling again. Y'know, good old fashioned pen on ink. I had a handful of pretty yet empty journals (as a lover of stationary, it just
No Buy Year 2025
I spent almost $50 for hangers on the Evil Online Megastore. I realized I had some pants and skirts that were taking up so much room being draped over a hangar but I didn't have any clip hangars. Also I can't find my scarves because they
No Buy Year 2025
I've gotten sucked into some decluttering and organizing youtube channels. Which is inspiring and motivating, but I still haven't gotten around to doing it myself. I did purchase a couple more clothing storage bins (my favorite ones that have been out of stock for months) so
No Buy Year 2025
I spent $137.13 at the forbidden clothing store. Yes, it was a moment of weakness, bourn from an amalgamation of my triggers: depression about the Big Trip being cancelled, "last day" of a sale where I also had coupons, browsing after bedtime, and feeling annoyed at some
No Buy Year 2025
The Big 2025 Trip was unexpectedly cancelled, for reasons beyond our control. We were a bit devastated. Yes, first world problems, but we don't travel like we used to so these big trips every couple of years mean a lot to us. Yesterday we genuinely grieved a bit
No Buy Year 2025
I still keep feeling the pangs of wanting to buy something. No, not necessarily "buy" – but research and window shop. It's more the feeling on wanting a puzzle to solve. There's more to unpack about that but wanted to jot it down before I
No Buy Year 2025
Today was a special shiny-member sale at the orange store. This is the first time in a few years that I am not the extra special shiny member. Just a shiny member. So there are perks I'm missing out on. Except, not really. I haven't been
