First, I bought a DVD. I sold it back to the used movie store.
Then, I went to Yves Rocher! I have loved Yves Rocher since 1991. This is the time of year they launch new products. I got Magnolia Shower Gel, Muesli and Honey Shower Gel, and the new Ice Plant Toner, with GWP mini serum, cream, and Quelques Notes D'Amour perfume. Can't resist Yves Rocher right now, and want to order more too. Set new products aside to use later, as a reward.
Then, I went to L'Occitane. I missed the L'Occi box, and I wanted a set with those cute Elle graphics. I found a hand cream set, then added Clear Angelica Face Soap to get free shipping. SuperBowl special - got free Magnolia and Mure perfume. SuperBowl special - I don't even watch football. I set the products aside as a reward for later. I kept the pretty boxes to use for my storage, and added the foil samples to my project of finishing all my foils before anything else.
Then I went to Ulta and got the Argan Wear things - bronzer, blush, oil and BB Cream - buy one get one 50 percent off. I was watching a YouTube beauty video and there was an ad for the items at the beginning - that's what got me wanting them. I set them aside to use as a reward later - still in their boxes. They are very pretty but are summery products anyway. Ulta did not include my variety sampler - just one fragrance card - but I was glad to have fewer foils to use up!
Then I got the Sample Society January box (I love Erno Laszlo). I put the nail polish away to use as a reward later. I can use the baby Erno Laszlo soap after I finish my older travel size cleansers.
And signed up for the February Birchbox. I cancelled as soon as the box shipped out as Birchbox was not an allowed sub under the plan.
Then I signed up for Netflix - streaming plus DVD. This has helped. I play old movies while I am using my products and this reinforces that my project is fun and relaxing.
And I don't feel I am through yet. I want a Macys Lancome GWP! They sent me a flyer in the mail - I tried to tear it up without looking, but I still can't get those beautiful makeup bags out of my head. I wanted that GWP so badly that I tried to reopen the charge card for the store that had the bonus. But the bank turned me down, stating I owe too much already. Thank you bank! As time has gone on, I want this less and less. I got paid and could have purchased it, but I felt more like buying food and getting ahead on monthly payments. Plus my February Glossybox - allowed under my rules - came, and is prettier than any GWP!
And I want Clinique undereye mascara, Kate Moss mascara, and maybe Sally Hansen Luxe Lace! I had forgotten about these. I focused on what I have and the cravings to buy got better.
