Beauties...
It just so happens that the month I started my blog is the same month that I came up with #nobuyjanuary. Like i said in my last post, i am beauty/makeup obsessed. My makeup collection has grown in size very quickly, to the point that my friends and sister told me to stop buying stuff in October next year, so they will know that i haven't bought every makeup product in sephora.
In addition to being obsessed with makeup, I'm like any other girl and have a closet full of clothes, some that i haven't even worn yet and some that i forgot about. I decided to start #nobuyjanuary as a way to give myself a break from the mall, but more importantly give my bank account a break. After all, it is right after christmas and all of our bank accounts have probably been a little drained.
This began as a little thing for myself to see if i could do it, but everyone who knows me knows how hard this task is for me... so i got put to the challenge... my boyfriend bet me $50 dollars, a co-worker bet me lunch... and before i knew it some of my friends started joining me in my #nobuyjanuary challenge
If you want to join, feel free... it may be difficult, believe im still having withdrawals, but it feels pretty good to know that my bank account is building up again. If you join, tweet how its going and hashtag #nobuyjanuary.
#NOBUYJANUARY RULES:
1. no buying makeup or clothes, simply buy only essentials - i.e. if you need facial cleanser, you can buy that... but only if you must.
2. you can go to the mall and try on clothes, but you must walk out empty handed. No rules about walking around the mall.
3. you can still get your eyebrows done or any maintenance, because hello... you still want to look good.
4. feel free to go out to eat, just dont do it that often.
5. i think spending gift cards is fine, however i still havent yet... (ill tell you why in a second)
I said you can spend gift cards, because its not your money, however you may want to wait as all the stuff at the malls is just the old stuff/clearance stuff that they are trying to get rid of. SO THINK TWICE before doing so, you may just want to save that gift card that you got for christmas on all the new spring stuff that will be coming out in February!!!
ONLY 17 DAYS AWAY UNTIL I CAN SHOP!!
