Hi there! Happy Monday!
I am really enjoying my no-buy. I have noticed that I get excited to even buy basic things now, like replacing my favorite facewash. I do think this showcases that I do crave the thrill of buying, but I think that being able to be excited about the simple and mundane is good. This brings me to another element that I have brought into 2023 along with my no-buy.
My Contentment Journey
I am trying to be more present by not distracting myself all of the time with YouTube, streaming shows, and music. I still listen to things (I am listening to a YouTube video as I type) but when doing things like making dinner, switching the laundry, or washing dishes I am not having entertainment on. I am trying things like using some of my many (many) eye shadow palettes that I haven’t reached for in awhile, changing up my earrings, and trying to enjoy the process of getting ready. I’ve also tried to be present and notice the touch, sound, and beauty in the mundane.
Have you attempted a no-buy or a low-buy? What category (makeup? skincare? clothes? home decor? craft supplies?) do you overshop?
