i went to a party recently and met this guy who says he does a variety of cleanses. he currently is on a 30 day facebook cleanse...which as you can guess means no facebook for 30 days. that of course got me thinking.
i am now two days in to my personal 30 day cleanse of no shopping. sure i need food, and household essentials but i don't need clothes, items for the house, etc. so far so good. of course i noticed a couple things immediately - don't open catalogs. don't open emails from retailers i like.
of course there are a few dates coming up where i would give gifts (aka shopping) but me being me...those were taken care of months ago! the only stumbling block is my anniversary. i had been going back and forth as to what to get my husband with no luck. and maybe that is the answer. i don't need to buy him stuff to celebrate our time together. instead, i am taking him out to dinner and making him a card. perfect. problem solved.
i know this is one cleanse where for sure i am going to feel lighter at the end. yay, no extra bills!
happy May!
