August 2013 Learning to Live Minimally Update

First Update.

 I am making some progress with items. I am not going into my samples yet but hopefully will. I am realizing that it is hard to use items and not buy things. There are a lot of things that i really want to buy. I am going to try and put myself on a no buy for a time. 

The only thing that i am buying is a purse because it is time for me to get another one. I am going to buy some fall candles from Bath & Body Works. So far that is the only things that i am buying. We will see what September has in store.

 I wanted to do this because I moved out of my mom's house and realized that i had so much stuff that was not opened or opened and not used. I have to get myself in order so that i can have a clean house and not buy things that i do not need.

 What really moved me to do this is a Youtuber named Rebecca Kelsey. She started in November 2011 and is really doing great. You can check her blog www.rebeccakelsey.com to follow her progress. 

 Well to sum up. No empties this month.

 Hopefully i will have some next month.

So far so good.

So far I'm trying to use up a lot of things i normally don't use. I put on makeup everyday i work. That is helping me get through a lot that have been piling up. I'm still finding things that i didn't know i had. But its good to know that i do have the stuff and i can use it up. I'm proud of myself.
