After 23 long days we have finished our shopping detox! Even though we were not perfect and admittedly had a few relapses, it worked!
Liv:
I pretty much kept myself busy
the whole time. As odd as it sounds I need a distraction from wanting to go to
the mall. Then I realized, “how did I even have time to go to the mall in the
first place?” I’m so busy with school, work and balancing just everyday life;
going to the mall was the last thing on my priority list. It felt really good
not constantly feeling like I'm missing out on something. I did, however, end up buying two new things.
I felt really bad about it and instantly had shoppers’ remorse.
All and all, it was nice taking a break from shopping it isn't needed
anymore. It's just like taking a break from social media sometimes you just
have to. It's a struggle at first but after awhile you don't miss it.
Krystal:
At first I thought this was going to be so hard. I kept getting emails about deals, and wanting to check all my shopping sites. But, next think I knew a week had gone by, and the another. I committed all that time I did previously shopping to focusing on school, work, and this blog. Of course will shop again but in a more controlled way. The UPS and Fedex man will be happy not to do the hike to our apartment door weekly any longer.
