New Years Resolution II

Can anyone remember your own new years resolution. I didn't remember but it's about time to see what happened in my life and what difference it has made in my daily life. There are basically three categories which are:                  
   1. Clothing
   2. Skincare
   3. Others

In the clothing department I haven't bought a lot. I bought a jean that was on sale for €4,50, a scarf for €1,25 and a vest for €6,-, that makes the total €11,75. This amount is enough for 8 months. I think this is something I should be proud of. I didn't need to replace any coat or shoes, that's why I didn't had any huge expenses. A good pair of shoes in my size (size7) doesn't comes cheaply, at least €50 but it always has been a great value. I can were a good pair of shoes for about 2-3 years.

I just bought one bottle of tea tree oil in the sale which makes it €2,25. I already stocked up on skincare products last year that's why I didn't need to buy.

Other things which excludes food or every day supplies would be: one universal battery loader for €9,- and one Bluetooth keyboard just €8,95. The total for this category would be €17,95. That's not much but I really thought about these products before buying. I was looking for the right price drop for the keyboard and knew if the price gets under 10 it's a great buy, especially when others are still priced at €15-20. The universal battery loader is an other buy that has been in on my mind and yesterday night I found it online and today I went to the store to get it.

My grand total is less than €50,-, other expenses like traveling cost, eating out, gifts or food are of course way more than €50,- but the point is that the things/stuff I see in my daily life are they worth their price. The things I buy and keep with me for a longer period are they needed or will I trow it away.

Being happy with the things you need instead of the things you have!

Before buying the stuff mentioned above, I really had to think about it. Do I really need it, isn't there something I already have fulfilling the same purpose. What is going out if I buy it because the 1in2out rule applies with every buy.

So letting go of "useless" stuff is also a must in my resolution, I have donated a lot of clothing to H&M because they give for every bag you donate one coupon for 15% discount on their items. C&A has also been great, they gave a discount coupon for 5% for each clothing. This fall, I have to buy baby clothing for my newborn nephews and those coupons are more than welcome in my wallet.

Thinking back to the resolution, I did great.
