This blog will be following my New Years Resolution of "No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries in 2012 Challenge" and how I deal with all the temptations and offers that always seem to be lurking. I would love to know how you lot do as well if you chose to do the same resolution.
To view what I have used up so far the list on the top will show it. I will update this every time I use something up.
Here are some helpful tips from a friends blog (http://victorias-vintage.blogspot.com/2011/12/no-buying-unnecessary-toiletries-in.html):
Here's the aim:
"No buying any new toiletries, cosmetics, perfume etc until I have used up all the ones I already have."
And here's some helpful tips from the forum:
- Do a stock-take and see if there are any gaps in your stash that you might need to spend on this month
- Set a budget for the month for essential purchases or to help with withdrawal symptoms
- List everything so you can cross things off as they are used to increase the sense of achievement
- Put a sum of money in a pot each time you use up an item to save for something you really want
- Remember the challenge is about making the most of your money, enjoying your products, finding which products really suit you best and are worth buying, giving yourself a well-deserved pampering and breaking the habit of buying for the sake of buying.
- It helps to avoid the places where temptation lurks: Boots, Bodyshop, the supermarket toiletries aisles, seductive department store beauty counter offers etc.
- Remember retailers make offers and promotions all the time, so there willl always be another deal!
