Shopping Ban Combination Update for February & March 2019
Let’s avoid the throat clearing and get straight to the point. I have been fabulously failing at sticking to my shopping ban rules for both February and March.

Shopping Ban Update for January 2019

Day 16 – Summer 2018 Mins Game
I love fun socks, but I probably own over 60 pairs and that is not including the 16 pairs I am giving away. It is a sacrifice to the fun socks god. There are a few pairs I picked up while visiting South Korea. Everything in SK is so adorable & since I am …
Day 13 – Summer 2018 Mins Game
I am trimming everything down in my life as I have so much stuff I cannot use it all. Even my knickers’ drawer is bursting at the seams. I work out a lot so my full back panties are rarely worn. I am not throwing these out and yes, I am giving them away. …
