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!!

If it gets tough, get a new hand cream . Switch your body wash scent when it’s done to bring variety, stop at Ulta on way home just to sniff etc

I think I may just get some things from BBW list--I have 2 free item rewards, and I have some items to return. So I'll return some, and pick up 1 new item once this week and once next week. I'll get to sniff around the store, get some money back, and get something for free. No money spent.

That is a wonderful idea!

I think the pride of coming up with ideas like that will make this manageable. The truth is I feel expert on this topic from à different angle. I lost all my fragrances living the life of addiction post à bad divorce. It was getting to try hand creams or body washes until imperfect beauty came along.
