- eat better: start cooking more and eating out less
- exercise more: practice yoga/Pilates again, use a standing desk at work
- declutter house
- no buy on makeup/beauty items Jan-March: can develop a wish list and purchase one or two items from it in April
I did a small, but psychologically helpful, decluttering project this week. I was really, really tempted to buy one of the new Clinique blushes this week, as Bloomingdale's was have a nice GWP event. So, to combat this urge, I decided to organize and inventory my blush collection.
Well, I have 120 blushes all nicely cataloged in an Excel spreadsheet now, which was an eye opener. On the plus side, I could shop my own collection for months to come and not be deprived. On the downside, how many peachy pink blushes do I really need? Will that stop me from getting one of the Clinique Cheek Pop blushes when my no buy is over? Of course not.
So, the no buy limped on. Some new items have emerged for the wish list, namely the new Maybelline Color Tattoo cream shadows from the Dare to Go Nude spring 2013 collection. My local Rite Aid has a display of them with other products from that collection, and Musings of a Muse posted a preview here and Nouveau Cheap has swatches of all six here. There is a bit of uncertainty as to whether these are limited edition or not. Rite Aid has a Maybelline BOGO going on this week, so I'm pretty my no-buy is about to go bye bye. Or buy buy :-)
