I've been tightening my purse strings of late after a little life evaluation. I'm saving for my very first car and a house deposit, yep things are getting serious around here. So while I've been carefully looking at what I do and don't need to spend money on, I'm gonna be honest, I love all things beauty, there is no denying that. I get joy from makeup and trying new products (there you go, it's met the KonMari criteria). So it would be unrealistic for me to impose a total spending ban on beauty products, I would inevitably feel guilty when I succumb to a little beauty purchase here and there and that's not what I want. I have been making changes though and thinking a lot harder about the products I spend my money on, there's even a beauty budget in place now to keep me in check. Exciting stuff I know, but it's gotta be done.
