As a lot of you know, we are doing a No Spend January. If you want to read more about our wins and fails you can check out this post.
SO I got to thinking...what if I could commit to a NO SPEND YEAR - SAY WHAT?
Ok now, simmer down...I am just considering when it comes to clothes, shoes, jewelry, handbags and cosmetics. Honestly, I have MORE THAN enough of all of these things for probably more than a year, but let's just take this one year at a time..lol
I took a quick walk about my dressing room/closet and came up with YES, it's doable.
I will need to be creative with the clothing and mix and match like never before, but I can do it!
The only area in which I am concerned about, and only a little, is the cosmetics. I know it's not healthy to use mascara for more than 90 days at a time..so I might have to spend a little on that over the next year..giving myself $50 budget for the entire 2018 on cosmetics (this only includes make up, not facial cleaning and moisturizing.)
What I am hoping to accomplish by this personal challenge...
1. USE more of my clothes. Face it, most of us have our "go to" items and a lot of other items don't get touched but a few times a year.
2. USE more of my jewelry. If I am being 100% transparent, my husband is generous with his gift giving oflittle blue boxes jewelry. I should be wearing this more and not let it sit in my drawers.
3. SAVINGS - of course we will see a savings if I don't purchase anything.
4. Gratitude for what I have and how hard my husband has worked for it all.
I am excited!!! I love a good challenge!
Tell me, have you ever done this? Would you be willing to try?
Watch for updates as I am sure I will be tempted! Until next time...be blessed and spend less!
