Greetings from the Dark Side!
And welcome to the round up for Week 5 of my No-Buy!
Week 5 (February 4- February 10) has also been a tough week. I almost went over my budget when I saw the new Flower Cosmetics display at Walmart. Besides what I purchased from Flower Cosmetics, I have not purchased anything else. Still, new temptations come every week and I am trying my best to stick to my budget.
If you are new to my No-Buy, please check out my past posts:

These two goals are my weekly goals for next week. These two goals must
be completed by next Sunday in order for me to earn reward money.
Goal #1: I must make at least two book reviews on my literature blog, The Library of Babel.
Goal #2: I must post at least 1 look with indie makeup, 1 look with drugstore makeup, and 1 look using high end makeup.
Go, Nancy, go! You are doing an amazing job with your no buy! It was just a great idea to use your love of makeup to motivate you in your other goals. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :D
DeleteBy all means I am still spending bit of money on makeup, but I would have spent a LOT more if I didn't have this system. It does in fact motivate me to do better in school and to read more :D
Keep it up, you're so inspiring ^_^ I may end up doing a no buy, I like "game" of it so much it might end up being fun lol
ReplyDeleteIt is quite fun! Sunday's are exciting because I get to tally everything up~
DeleteNice job Nancy! I've been thinking of doing another no-buy, but I'm not sure. The last one was really hard! :)
