every wander

April was quite the weather in Minnesota, from a Snow blizzard and emergency to going to 70s the next weekend. My spending was more steady, but I could still improve. I just have to keep reminding myself that I don't need....STUFF! Updates on the items I bought in March  Acteens Retreat fundraiser bags I have not used either since the retreat. i also got 2 free earring there that I have also not worn.  Mall trip:  I've packed away the santa sweater to wear next year.  I have not yet used the eye closers...maybe I'll use it tonight!  The yellow jacket I fore to the 70s crawl, but I guess I left a pen in the pocket and washed it in the laundry, and the jacket is now ruined! I'm thinking about just dying it black. I was thinking of possibly making the black splotches into "holes", but that would've been way too many holes.. I have yet to use the lotion.  I've been trying to use the eye cream daily.  I've used the sephora perfumes but I ...

Orchid still hasn't bloomed, but a tiny new leaf is growing.  Kohl's haul:  I haven't worn the earrings or the hat yet... Goodwill #2 haul:  I was able to wear the heels to a wedding a couple weekends ago, but I'm still waiting for better weather to wear the shorts and brown shoes.  Mall haul: I've probably worn all of the undies. I don't remember where I put the tiny lotion...but it's gotta be somewhere in my room unused still. I haven't tried the Glam mini items.

My journey to spending less, giving more, and being content! Updates on the items I bought last month  The checks are of course useful, and I've used the address stickers to send out letters to friends already.  Goodwill haul:  I think I lost one of the brown gloves shopping at the Goodwill on February 1st.  I have yet to wear the tank tops.  The floral button up has a whole in the sleeve.  The grey Zara T-shirt is large, but super soft and comfy.  The coat I bought does not have a zipper, but the buttons suffice for me - I hardly zipper my coats. I wore this coat sledding and it was nice and warm!  Target haul: I have yet to use the bottle opener, soap, Nexus, one of the Batiste dry shampoo, the Sonia brush, or write anything in the book.  Ulta haul: I like the BH cosmetics eyeliner, I'm still trying to finish the OGX Sake Essense shampoo and conditioner.  Succulent: IS STILL ALIVE! Yay!! February  // $ 194.13 //...
