Thanks sweet lady. It feels good and I’m staying accountable! TFW 🥰

Sooo proud of you for resisting buying in June. Once you’re in a groove of rethinking a purchase… it’s almost like training your brain to allow yourself some thought and make your decision. Resisting the purchase and shopping your stash can be super enlightening and the dopamine levels might be bettter ☺️ I also love seeing reviews and unboxing from others on YT. It’s as if I’m vicariously living thru them the joy of getting and experiencing a new bag. It’s what’s so awesome about this little space!

Thank you MJ! I have really been enjoying my collection. The rush or dopamine rush is short lived from buying all the time. Once my mind is set it feels so good to carry my own bags. 💪🏼🥰

I am always so happy when I can admire a bag on someone’s video but don’t want to buy it. 😂

Great job on staying strong with your no-buy challenge, Andrea! Your tips on unsubscribing from emails and shopping your own closet are super helpful. It's inspiring to see how you're managing to resist the urge to buy and finding joy in what you already have. Keep it up!

Thank you Naomi! 😊💪🏼. I am determined to stay strong! TFW 🥰❤️

Shopping my stash is the best and easiest way for me not to spend money ,I also go in my closet and see how much clothes I own and that stops me from buying more . Thanks for sharing your thoughts ,so much appreciated Hugs 🥰

I have not purchased any bags since my birthday in May. As for me sticking to not purchasing any bags is hard. So I tell myself you don’t need any bags right now, just enjoy what you have. So I’m staying strong with a no buy for now. I too screenshot bags, add to cart. And I still do not purchase. But watching our KZread family is an enjoyment for me. I love watching unboxing, WIMB videos, and collection videos. Tfs😊❤

Yay glad you’re being strong! I have really enjoyed carrying bags I haven’t used in a long time. Sounds like we do the same stuff. Stay strong you can do it! TFW 💪🏼🥰

I don’t remember where I read this but I write them in my journal each year and TRY to ask these questions before each purchase. I also have a 24 hour cooling off rule. Applied with varying success 😂 Ask-what is the best thing that could happen if I make this purchase? Ask-what is the worst thing that could happen if I make this purchase? Ask-do I already have access to something that substitutes for the item? Ask-can I get the item cheaper elsewhere? Ask-am I buying for social reasons?

Lol, my bf was a metal guitarist, he totally sucked me into the genre. 😂 You're really inspiring me to be strict - no more impulse purchases. Good to hear it's working out for you! I've been loving that dragonfruit Tabby too btw, while I normally wouldn't go for the Tabby or hot pink. That thing is just hypnotic. 😵‍💫

Oh my... I've been exposed! That T-Shirt is almost 15 years old now, love! It seems like a whole other planet now. I met you and my entire life changed in so many astonishing ways. Never had one regret leaving that band lifestyle behind me for an absolutely amazing friendship, loving partnership, soul-deep connection, and irreplaceable experience of starting a life as husband and wife with you, Mrs. AKB. I wouldn't trade any this for the world. *XOXO* ❤ p.s - I AM STILL YOUR BIGGEST FAN! 😊

It was going to be for my mom. Thankfully I can authenticate and they refunded me but the guys page is still up.
