Ah congratulations for your new chapter :) It's nice to see an update of your low spend, thanks for being honest and taking us through your thought process. I'm also doing a low spend this year and I've set up a strict budget for each month, so if I ran out of funds this month then I'll save it for the next month, or if I overspend this month then I won't buy anything next month. So far it's been good and having a notion budget planner helps a lot :)
Thank you! ❤️ And appreciate you sharing helpful tips. I think I'm going to do a mix between only buying things I absolutely love and some monthly budgeting with a bit of wiggle room. If only we had the ability to predict future stationery releases 😂
Congrats on your baby - how exciting! I have 3 kids and yeah, purse or bag options depends on your lifestyle. Obviously when you go out without baby, it’s like normal, otherwise every bag seems too small and not enough space to carry all the things. Or you mostly only need your baby things and don’t want to keep track of so many bags…. It’s a challenge for sure but you’ll eventually figure out what work for you and your family. I think strict no spends are hard because in the end, suddenly spending a lot as a reaction after a no spend period can still result in spending too much. Some kind of budgeting probably makes more sense… thanks for sharing your thoughts! I think there’s only ever going to be more to buy and prices are increasing, so this topic is always on top of mind!
Thank you so much! ❤️ I think I made the right call on waiting to buy a nice, handmade bag - as much as I've been looking forward to it for over a year, I just don't know what my life is going to look like (I have some vague ideas, but it's one of those things where I don't think I'll really understand until I get there myself). Appreciate you sharing your perspective! I've thought about budgeting stricter amounts as well, but I might give myself too much leeway with that one (e.g. if I don't spend for 3 months, do I get to "use" the total of the 3 monthly budget together on an order?). It's certainly worth thinking about, though, and I might try it for 2025! Thank you for watching and sharing your thoughts.
I happened to be awake when the TSL sample sale went live and I was pleasantly surprised at the number of selections available! A lot of them were gone already by the time I woke up the next morning, so I'm glad I caught it when I did. It's something to look out for in the future, for sure. Hope you enjoy your purchases from the sale!
I saw the IG post and set an alarm lol I was a bit sleepy going through the 8 pages of items, not sure if I missed some or if they added more items later on, a friend got a clear tote for such an amazing price, I’m sure I wouldn’t have missed it so I’m thinking the TSL team kept adding more the following day. I got something I never thought I would own so I’m looking forward to it. Thank you and my well wishes to you and your family, what an exciting winter for you!! ☺️
