Materials of 2018 | May

Summer months fly by too quick! Now that I'm looking back at April, I did NOT do good at all for May. Definitely spent too much on materials...and accumulated too many items.

Update on April items (Note this is written in July)

• Meat raffle haul: 
• I have used the stick ons for cards. 
• I sometimes remember to take B12. 
• I am currently still using the pop socket. 
• I've been still using the top coat when I paint my nails. 
• Goodwill haul: 
• The purple dress' strap broke in our dryer! So I just superglued it as a quick resolution... 
• I love the T-shirt dress and actually just wore it today for church lol
• I have yet to use the picnic basket or try the weaving stuff. 
• I've worn the leather jacket a couple times (I actually totally forgot I even got it, but hey, it's summer) 
• The bag I've worn a couple time. 
• I have yet to wear the hawaiian shirt or the black shirt. After the wash, the black shirt seems to fit only.
• Asian store earrings - I wore once so far. 
• Goodwill - The bag and jacket I've worn a few times. I have yet to use the book or come up with a use for it. 
• Lifeway - I have yet to read the book or go to the young adult women's group for it. 
• Walmart - I sometimes remember to eat the Calcium thing. And I think I may need new wipers again... 

May  // $ 171.67 //  23 items  

3rd // Dollar Tree - $1 // 1 item
I last minute grabbed this while I was getting a present bag and bought some notebooks for the Sunday School kids.


4th // Artist's hat - $20 & Turnstyle $3 // 2 items
My sister and I went to watch improv, and a local artist was there. Of course I had to get something...


We began a financial class based on Dave Ramsey's Babysteps style. One thing he mentions is that you should only carry cash with you. So I started doing that. On the first day I went shopping at Turnstile for the first time, not expecting to buy anything so I didn't bring my cash. But when I got there, of course I found items I liked! Buuut, the whole strip had a power outage and their credit card machine didn't work. I had to go to my car, but when I got back they closed the store because of the power outage. haha, but that didn't stop me from going back the next day. I realized that the items didn't really fit me well anyways, but I did end up getting this black halter dress for $3.


8th // Walgreens - $5.67 & Amazon - $43 // 2 item 
I had a coupon, so I got an eyebrow pencil that I've been needing anyways. It turned out alright. I like that it lasts long, but the color was a bit to light brown for me. It did match my accidental root hair color though


I got a couple gifts online, and ended up buying a kayak too. I was too excited for summer! I used my Discover Amazon points though!


12th // Victoria's Secret - $10 & Half Price Books - $5 // 4 items
The coupon made me do it... Got a cute nude bra that was on sale, and a grey seamless panty for free.

At Half Price Books, I found a study bible on sale for just $3 and a larger book for the sunday school kids.


17th // Northtown Mall trip - $69 // 11 items 
I found myself at the mall again. I picked up the free lotion gift, and then a victoria's secret sticky bra because my old one is worn out. ($14.95)


At Hot topic I spent $34 and got a Save $15 off a $30 purchase in July. But I've been looking for light colored sunglasses and their deal was buy 1 get 2 free! I Also could not pass up the no face shirt!


At Just, I got a a shirt and jeans thatI couldn't pass up ($20):



23rd // Walmart - $15 // 3 items 
I got a pack of pink single blade razors to try out microblading.
Hair remover lotion because the one I got before is finished.
Playtex feminine wipes since I don't have any left. I actually really liked this one!
