Shopping Ban!

Like many people -especially women- I have a shopping addiction. When I'm bored, I go shopping. When I feel sad, I go shopping. But I also often go shopping for no apparent reason, or just because I want to buy something. And it doesn't matter whether it's online, or in local stores. I just have to shop!

My current obsession: black/white dresses

Whenever there's something I really want to have, I can only resist it for so long. It keeps popping up in my head, until I finally decide to buy it. And then -of course- I get buyer's remorse. Usually because it was something I didn't need, or because it was more expensive than I can afford.

I did one online order again next week, because I couldn't resist. Heavily discounted shoes, a cardigan, and a black/white dress. All very nice, but I do feel quite guilty! So I decided that this should be my last order in a while. Hence the title: Shopping ban!

I'm going to ban myself from shopping for 2 weeks. I will allow myself to go to the shopping mall or to visit online shops, but I'm not allowed to buy anything. And no excuses! No things such as: "I had a bad day so this purchase doesn't count".


The only things which will be excluded, will be:

• Groceries (naturally)
• Personal hygiene (shampoo, shaving accessories, toothpaste, etc)
• Daily make-up (foundation, powder, blush, mascara)

If I manage to keep up with it for the upcoming two weeks, I'll reward myself by buying something. Just something nice for myself, such as a cute top, or a nice lipstick. And then I'll set another shopping ban for myself.

So let's see how this will turn out!

How about you?
Do you also have a shopping addiction?


Love,
Nonette

Long time no see!

 

Spring is on our doorstep, but it doesn't seem to really want to push through just yet. I'm sure most of us are longing for the warmth of the sun, and the blossoming flowers again. I know I am!

During winter times I always feel more gloomy, with the cold weather and the dark days. Spring is probably my favorite season, because it's neither too warm, nor too cold. And I just love to see all the young animals, and to see the trees slowly become more and more green. I enjoy life most in spring.

A while ago I wrote that I was going to lease a horse, but because of several circumstances I had to call it off. Which is a shame, but I'm now in search of other possibilities to be able to be among horses more often.

As for my blog, I re-named it to 'The Equestrienne', because I feel blog names related to lolita fashion don't suit me anymore. Horses are a very important part of my life, so that's why I decided to call it this way.

But I won't merely blog about horses. I'll simply blog about life, all things I feel like writing about, all the things I like. I hope to at least be able to blog once a week, so let's hope I'll feel inspired enough!
