A little bit of shopping

My shopping an lasted until the 17th of August. Yes I broke my promise on my birthday when I found a dress I had been drooling over all summer on 70% of the 50% sale. Yes it was almost free from the original price.

I have worn it since and got so much praise for it.

Half way through shopping ban

Ok so I'm almost halfway through my shoppng ban. Someways it has been easier than belived. But main reason is that I'm poorer than a churchrat.

This week I have done some shopping though:

• Hairremoval- I may be poor, but still don't want a forest grown on me. Prefer the trees and animals in the wild ;)
• Dry schampo- I'm at war with my hair. Next step dry shampo
• Lens cover for a camera lens
• Colouringbook and crayons for flight -this is a must for me on longer flights (call me chilidish all you want)

A t-shirt from H&M Lanvin collection has also become mine in december.

For my flight to Egypt I have a little list for duty free:

• New mascara- I'm sorry but my trial with budget mascaras didn't go well- Back to old faithful
• New facial cream and cleanser- the jars are as empty as can be
• Everyday perfume- belive it or not but had a harsh discovery that all my perfumes (3) were more glamour/party smells than something I want to smell everyday

Thats all. Will look for a niece pair of leather sandals on the markets but other than that relaxing is on my agenda.

Winter shopping

So winter has arrived (in case you have missed it). We have currently between -10 and -20 degrees here and I decided that its time for a new pair of thermal pants now when I have to start walking to uni from next week on. While out chasing thermalpants I decided that a beenie might be nice (all mine are in my flat or at my parents place).

For my birthday I also got a gift certificate to one of my favorite shops and they had this round scarf that I fell in love with so it also followed me home.

Oh sumemr sweet summer where are you??

1½ month

I have survived a month and a half with no breaking the shopping ban (except in Stockholm). It feels good and I'm proud over myself. Had to add a winterjacket to my list since it turns out I don't have a waterproof winterjacket anymore.

So my need to shoppinglist looks as follow:

• Nailpolish remover
• toiletries bag
• Everyday Jeans
• Facial cream
• Inner soles for my hikingboots AND winterboots
• Nailpolish Top coat- To be clear TOP COAT not coloured nail polish
• Winter jacket

3½ week

Its has now gone 3½ weeks since I gave myself my promise. I think I can easily admit that I have a shopping adoction (anybody surprised out there).

But have done no shopping at all since my Stockholm slurge, except shower gel today (that I needed because I forgot mine at home in my flat).

Oh and facial cream as I told you my bottle was almost empty and since I'm going to travel quite a bit I figured my almost empty bottle could stay at home for me.

On friday whenI went out withmy friends I got a late birthday gift: A gift voucher to one of my favorite shops. I went in there today, but nothing struck my fancy. So have a little that I can splurge on my self when in desperate need.


So my need to shoppinglist looks as follow:

• Nailpolish remover
  
• toiletries bag
• Everyday Jeans
• Facial cream
• Inner soles for my hikingboots AND winterboots
• Nailpolish Top coat- To be clear TOP COAT not coloured nail polish

2½ weeks in

It has now gone 2½ weeks since I gave my self a shopping ban until 1 april, 2011. So how has I managed this far?

Well week 1 didn't go to good: Bought tights, lipstick and traveling towel when in Stockholm
week 2 went better didn't buy anything.

I have realized that there are some items (ofcourse) that I need to buy/replace:

• Nailpolish remover- should have done this about a month or two ago
• toiletries bag- my old one is falling to pieces, is tiny and very unpractical. With all the travels on my agenda for the next four months it might be a good idea to invest in a new one (or wait and get one for christams)
• Everyday Jeans- My two pairs of plain everyday jeans will die anytime soon. Hoping for a new pair underneath the christmastree.
• Facial cream-The bottle is almost empty
• Inner soles for my hikingboots AND winterboots- one pair is to big and the other the soles are starting to feel hard in the heels (gel cusions for the heel?)
• I'm quite sure there was something else on the need to list

Here the things I DO NOT need to buy new (eventhough I'm trying to come up with excuses):

• Singlets
• make up- think I have a lifetime collection of this and with a brand new mascara in the collection there is nothing that needs replacing or are running out
• Shoes- always try to come up with a reasn why I need new ones, but right now I think I should be set until summer arrives
• Scarfs- you can never have to many, but I'm quite set with me 20! I use regularly any more and its just a waste of money
• Perfume- have about 2-3 years worth of perfume in my fridge
