Happy One Month to Me!

Today's the day! My one month anniversary of my retail fast! I can't believe it's been a month already since I've decided not to buy anything other than consumable objects. It's gone by so fast but it has surprisingly been easy. It might be harder to resist as time goes on, but I'm excited to conquer the next month of my retail fast! :)

♡ Hi! I'm Emily!

For many years, I've used Retail Therapy as an excuse to shop. I'd shop when I'm happy and I'd shop when I'm sad. As a result, I have accumulated a bit too many products for an ordinary person.

I started this in 2015 with a goal to not shop for any more products until I used up all the products I currently had. Unfortunately I struggled alot and experienced more regret than appreciation from my products. I've decided to start fresh with new goals. Because I tried to cut myself off from shopping completely, I basically turned myself into a ticking time bomb and it resulted in huge makeup hauls even though there were less frequent shopping trips.

I think it shouldn't matter when the last time I shopped was. What I think should matter is, though, setting money aside for things that I want and saving the rest.What can start as a new years resolution can turn into a lifetime goal, and I'm ready to start now!
