I quit being a shopaholic last year and it's been the best decision ever. I rather save money for travelling or other experiences that matter more than new objects. I don't buy trendy clothes anymore only classic pieces, I own only 5 nail polishes and so on. It's a nice way of life, enjoy the journey and no pressure ;)<br /><br /><br />http://www.desiringsme.com/how-adapt-change/Yaramelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598736557348260661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316033986229535307.post-65625171694733774332017-11-01T20:08:03.828+01:002017-11-01T20:08:03.828+01:00Oh yes I know how hard it can be sometimes - gener...Oh yes I know how hard it can be sometimes - generally I just think about other things I could do with the money, most of the time thinking about trips I could plan in the near future! xxJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16155663667723808286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6316033986229535307.post-5693929720571565752017-11-01T20:07:20.423+01:002017-11-01T20:07:20.423+01:00We can easily realise how we don't miss the th...We can easily realise how we don't miss the things we get on a whim - I'm glad I'm not the only one who's experienced that!

I feel I need good face cream and I would spend more on it. But I don't need a lot of makeup as I'm working from home, so I recently bought a palette and that is it.
