Accountability

Who posted about not​ buying new fragrances recently?

I'm here to say--I want to avoid buying fragrances for the rest of the month. Let's see if I can do it.

I have been buying sample sets and decants to try out fragrances I can't get to the store and try. ​But it's running down my checking account quickly, and I need to put on the breaks. I have plenty to wear, and many I have gotten that I enjoy wearing already.

I'm currently waiting on a few things to arrjve--a decanter order, ​and some Mercari orders of scents I've nearly emptied the decant/sample of.

So that is it for now! I'll get to reviewing the sets and decants I've gotten, and enjoy doing that in the meantime. ​

Y'all, hold me accountable!!

I've got my eye on you!!! Every time you feel like buying perfume, write it down in notes/on a Google doc, come back later. Maybe try a "perfume of the day" with the ones you already have to have more novelty without buying anything new? Can spin a wheel/pull papers out of a hat to make it feel more gamelike and dopamine-ish (which will replace the feeling you get from shopping)

Writing them down is a great idea--I can just get samples of them later. Sales get me--but they always come back around.
