January is over. At least I can't buy any more for the month. This is everything I bought on the binge I have been on since Sunday:
It all began with watching too many You Tube videos ...
Aliexpress
- 1. It began when I wanted a $2.00 bracelet. When that was purchased, my No Buy was a failure. So I figured I may as well get everything else I wanted.
- 2. Another bracelet I wanted $1.99. I'm not usually into jewelry, but saw some You Tube videos and began getting interested.
- 3. Bracelet $6.33.
- 4. Clothing $3.68. I usually do not buy any clothing.
- 5. Pretty makeup brush I fell in love with $2.41.
- 6. Pretty makeup brush I fell in love with in another color $2.41.
I am really into shopping on Aliexpress now. I don't want to stop.

Etsy - Ebook on how to do a project pan - $10.00. I thought if I got it I would stop shopping. Did not work.
Then I started to look at the sub boxes. I always think that if I find the perfect sub box I will stop shopping.
Boxycharm - $22.47. I always read that people get so much from Boxycharm and they never need to buy anything. So I signed up with it as an answer to wanting to shop.
Ipsy - Then I was nervous I would not like Boxycharm and signed up for Ipsy thinking it will make me not want to shop - $10.00.
Glossybox - Then was nervous I would not like Ipsy and signed up for Glossybox so I would not want to shop - $21.00.
Beautified You - $7.00. Then I went to My Subscription Addiction and looked through every page of their directory to find the perfect sub that would make me not want to shop. I found this site called Beautified You that has a little sample bag of skin care stuff for $7.00.
Total for shopping binge: $172.27.
When I see something I want and get it, it makes me want to get more and more and more. The more I shop, the more I want to shop. That makes me feel anxious, so then I buy things I think will stop that feeling, like sub boxes. I'm like a gambler, chasing my losses.
