If you watch a lot of YouTube, you may have seen this topic going around. For those of us that love to shop, physically writing down a list of things that you will not purchase, may be helpful for your accountability. I’m definitely in that “love to shop” group, so I thought I would share my list with you!

1. I’m not buying any extremely cheap jewelry for one time use. I have been on a jewelry kick for the last 6 months or so, and over that time I have purchased some investment pieces. I’ve really enjoyed building my fine jewelry collection. I have also purchased some costume jewelry, but I have been pretty selective with that because I know that I have a tendency to buy things because they are “cheap”, but then I never wear them. At my big old age of 40, I’m pretty much done with that. There is nothing wrong with inexpensive jewelry, I just am being very mindful with those purchases. I also like the idea of having jewelry that will last the test of time that I can eventually give to my daughter or future daughter-in-law.
2. I’m not buying any more large tote bags! I love a good tote bag and they definitely serve a purpose in my life. They are great for travel and if I need to carry a lot of things with me. However, I think I’ve reached a point in my bag collection, that I have tote bags for any reason that I could find. I’m not the person who loves to carry a large tote day-to-day, so realistically I probably don’t need more than 2 (and I have way more than that)!
3. I’m not buying cheap shoes. Now I know this one may be controversial, but hear me out. It’s really not about the price of the shoes, because I love a good deal. It’s more so about the quality and in this case, “cheap” means low quality, not low-price. I have been that girl to purchase $7 sandals and then wonder why my feet are killing me. I’ve found this to be even more true with closed toe shoes such as boots and pumps. I’m no longer in the business of sacrificing my feet just to save a few bucks! This also goes for shoes that don’t feel comfortable when I try them on!
4. I’m done buying eyeshadow palettes. If you saw my makeup stash, you would think I wore eyeshadow everyday. In all actuality, I only wear eyeshadow around once a week. At this point, I think I have every single color that I could ever possibly want. Eyeshadow palettes are always so tempting to me, but enough is enough!
5. I’m not buying any SLG’s. If you are a person who consumes a lot of luxury content on the internet, you know what an SLG is. For those of you who don’t, an SLG stands for Small Leather Good. This basically applies to wallets, key holders, card cases, pouches, etc. I personally love having a variety of these sorts of things, but I don’t need anymore. I have probably over 5 card cases, 2 or 3 wallets, and pouches of every size. These little items bring me joy when I open my bag and see them (especially in bright pops of color), but I have enough. I’m not saying I will never buy any of these again, but I won’t in 2024!

Now, I know I didn’t touch on fragrance in this post, but I do have some fragrance resolutions. Would you like to see those? If so, in what format, text or short form video?

Until next time…
