I mentioned in my latest haul post that this year I’m putting myself on an 100 day spending ban. Me and the other half really want to move out of my parents house and get our own place, but we’re both terrible at saving money! We’ve sat down and worked out how we can get some pennies together, and one thing I’m going to do is to put myself on an 100 day spending ban challenge. I did one this time last year and completely failed, but this year I’m determined to give it a proper go!
I’ve decided to start my spending ban from the 1st January, meaning that the last day will be the 11th April. During this time I won’t be spending money on any beauty products, clothes, or things I don’t need. Although if I run out of something like deodorant, I will buy some more! I will also still be spending some money on social events, but I will try to cut back on these! I’ll also be posting an update on the blog every week, and I will confess if I slip up!
Anyone else taking part in a spending ban? Let me know how yours is going!

A few weeks ago I mentioned how I broke my spending ban and gave in to buying a few Origins products. At the time my skin was in a dire need of TLC, and my current skincare routine wasn’t helping at all. So when payday came around I decided to give in and buy a few…
Natural Collection tends to be a brand I’ve ignored in Boots. It just always reminded me of when I was 12/13 and started first playing with makeup. I always thought that because their products were cheap that they wouldn’t be any good. It wasn’t until a couple of months ago I heard about some of…
A few weeks a go I was spending far too much time in Boots, looking at make up I didn’t need, when I came across the new Maybelline Color Drama lip crayons. I have hundreds of lipsticks, but of course I needed these. I stood for ages swatching away at all the shades, but one…
When it comes to lipsticks I’m not very experimental, it took me about 2 years to even get the confidence to wear a red lipstick outside of the house. I tend to stick to pale pink shades, or one’s that provide a little bit of colour. One thing that I’ve never been into is nude…
I can’t believe it’s the end of February already. Having started in the world of working full time this month I’ve been crazy busy and time has just flown by. February wasn’t really a month of trying out new products, but it was one for discovering a few old favourites, and a month of a…
