For most of us, spring is the best time to take a break from material joys and go out to enjoy nature. This is why now is the time to join the #nobuychallenge trend – perhaps for a whole month?

This challenge is a great way to fight the impulse shopping habits as well as to save some money for more important things. If you need some tips on where to start, consider setting a no-buy goal for these categories.

🐪💖 Pink Wednesday #motd 💖🐪 . @volitionbeauty Prismatic Luminizing Shield SPF 50 @glossier Wowder and Cloud Paint in Storm @jouercosmetics Rose Gold Blush Duo @narsissist Orgam After Glow Lip Balm . I have a confession you guys… I am a terrible driver. It’s not that I have a bad diving record, I just get really nervous behind the wheel and try to not drive as much as possible! I am especially bad with highways and long distances… 🙈😅 . Which leads me to my random impulse buy of the day- this pinky beige scarf you see here by #loveandlore . I live about an hr and 20-30mins drive (on the highway 😰…) away from school but usually take the public transit to school. This takes me about 2hrs to get here. I know it sounds long but I nap/ read/ chat on the phone/ catch up on socials so it’s not too bad at all. (Saves me from having to drive!) BUT! The bus driver cranks up the AC really high in the warmer months, so much so that I feel like I might get sick from being in and out of the bus! 🙈 (has anyone else experienced this on the GO Bus?😅) . Though the scarf is very soft and really pretty, and it is getting colder so it will be very useful, I have tons of them and didn’t really need another. I feel like I have spent waaayyy too much in the last couple of months, and will be going into a no buy till the holidays (hopefully I can last till then🤞🏼). I even picked up a few things on the holiday Sephora Holiday preview🙈! I have a ton of things to test out and review, so I’m going to try to get through it all and not buy more. Wish me luck!! . As always I hope you guys are having a great week so far! If you want to join me for this no buy, dm me and we can keep talk each other out of buying things! 😘💕 . #femfeed#palmcrew23#pinkaesthetic#pinkwednesday#fallvibes

Books

We bet you have plenty of reading material at home so it shouldn’t be a problem not to buy new ones for a month.

Gadgets

A new phone case? Again? Only if your old one actually broke or tore apart.

Makeup & Skincare

Decide to shop your stash for a month, even if you use up something you think you can’t live without. Chances are, you already own a decent replacement.

Eating Out

Instead of going to restaurants on the weekends, how about cooking something for your friends?
