This is such a wonderful feeling...feeling content and do not feel such needs to buy unnecessary stuff and proudly say "no" to everything I used to "gotta have it".
-Dress and shoes from Bangkok, these gladiator shoes are sooooooo comfortable!!-
The best money saving method is to stop "looking" and 'wanting" altogether. I find this to be very effective. I used to be the one who dumped hundreds or thousands on new beauty and skincare products, and some on clothes, and some more on non-sense items, just because I felt like I wanted to try..I wanted to have.
-my very first Revlon lipsticks (purchased since January), I used a nude color as a base and glided a thin layer of red on top-

Perhaps I spent enough to the point that I feel extremely content now, I feel an unusaul peace in my shopping soul. I can live without buying that new lipstick, that new mascara, that new moisturizer, that pretty blouse and those shoes. I only hope this contentment will last for a long time - Amen. That will be good for my wallet.
-Chicken kabobs, Mac & Cheese and Green Beans-
My belly was very content with these yummy food on Sunday (delicious lunch: courtesy of in-laws)
-Sponge cake with fresh strawberries & whipped cream-
oh i totally agree...once you stop looking, you stop wanting because you don't know what you're missing. i feel like once i buy something, it opens the flood gate and i can't stop at just one, lol.
ReplyDeletethe gladiator sandals are cuute! i wanting a pair, but just haven't found the right one.
the food looks super yummy especially the sponge cake and strawberries. i love dessert. i will skip my entree any day for something sweet.

What helps me is to look at my credit card statements at the end of each month. The sticker shock will soon wear off to a feeling of ridiculousness, but then soon tapers off to, I'm so lucky to be able to buy the things I want, life-is-good kind of feeling. Content and blessed rolled into one.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress on you, so cute and quite original in the print mixing.
I'm a lip gloss girl, but tempted to get some Revlon lipsticks to try! It is so true when you say "The best money saving method is to stop "looking" and 'wanting" altogether." I wish it could be that easy, especially when sales are everywhere these days! Thank you so much for visiting my blog...As a newbie, I really REALLY do appreciate every single bit of support and encouragement; it means a lot to me! Thanks again Nelah!
