12 Months of Resolutions: July (& June Revisited)

Each month I'm doing a different resolution every month in the hopes that my resolutions will stick! See previous months here.


For June, I resolved to say no to shopping. And I did it successfully! And it was easier than I thought.


GRADE: A


WOULD I DO THIS AGAIN? NO! Well, not for a whole year, but a month every now and again wouldn't hurt the pocketbook. I would like to challenge myself and not spend any money for a month (minus bills, groceries, & valid necessities).


NOTES: Luckily, I've had practice with not shopping before when I was unemployed last year. But this time, I gave up shopping by choice. I admit, I did get a new shirt or two, courtesy of my parents. However, I did not buy a single clothing item or beauty product, minus necessities (like shampoo).

For July, I'm going to stop cursing. I definitely don't have a potty mouth or make sailors blush, but I would like to stop. We'll see how it goes!

Would you give up shopping for a whole month? For those who have, was it difficult?


PS--Beach Week is next week!!! Anything specific you'd like to see? I've got tons of fun posts planned.
