Every yr I impose a shopping ban on myself. It all started when I attempted thirty yesteryear thirty inwards 2010, in addition to didn't store for thirty days. To challenge myself I imposed a ii calendar month ban inwards 2011 in addition to hence 1 time again a 3 calendar month ban last year. Now, nosotros are going for 4 months this yr y'all. And to arrive fifty-fifty to a greater extent than ~~torturing~~ challenging I am going to kickoff on 1st February (my birthday month), i.e. no shopping for my birthday either. Now you may ask, 'Why?'. Well, for starters I am weird. I similar doing things which force my boundaries for no rhyme or reason. And secondly, I am over birthdays. But thats a theme for some other post.

Lately, I cannot deal but cringe over the materialistic Blue Planet nosotros bring formed to a greater extent than or less us. We are all domicile inwards excess. Believing inwards retail therapy to a greater extent than than believing inwards ourselves. Why produce nosotros experience nosotros demand to store to experience happy? As Tyler Durden puts it inwards Fight Club: "We purchase things nosotros don’t need, alongside coin nosotros don’t have, to print people nosotros don’t like." I am but trying NOT to live that person.

I bring e'er been a big believer inwards savings. If you hand me money, chances are I volition similar a shot away lay it into my savings (using it solely for emergencies in addition to travel!). And to live actually honest I bring non shopped much concluding year, in addition to inwards fact I haven't bought a unmarried affair inwards concluding ii months. So I produce non actually 'need' the ban, but I 'want' to produce it but to know my power, my command in addition to experience practiced nigh myself. Its similar winning an slow battle helps me expression upwardly the harder ones alongside greater confidence. In the procedure if I halt upwardly saving some coin too, hence I am non complaining.

I had mentioned this on twitter yesterday in addition to a bunch of people showed involvement inwards joining me on the 'shopping ban', hence I idea I volition allow everyone know on the weblog also hence that should you wishing to bring together in, you bring plenty fourth dimension to innovation in addition to prepare. If you are interested inwards joining me, below is a shape that you tin fill upwardly out. You produce non bring to kickoff or halt alongside me. You tin selection your ain engagement in addition to duration. Over the side yesteryear side 3 weeks, I volition percentage alongside you how you tin create for the ban in addition to what I bring learnt from my previous three. The listing would live opened upwardly for everyone who participates hence that nosotros tin watch each others' weblog in addition to encounter how nosotros are doing.

Talking of shopping ban, my some other favorite form of shopping is, 'shopping my mom's closet'. I detect one-of-kind pieces which are traditional, chic in addition to top-notch quality. Like this roll I am wearing below:
