Day 26-28

It's not going well with decluttering my stuff but at least I haven't add anything in the past days and I've been using some of the stuff that have been waiting to be used for a while^__^// I think that's a good start :P
I've decided to look for a new laptop model after finishing my class papers.

I have the urge to buy the new spring tea that was released by Alnatura a short time ago, but will postpone it until I finished one of the other tea packages^^
I want to buy the stickers that are on sale, but then again I already have a lot of stickers so I'll probably won't buy these either (yay~! LOL)

Day 23 & 24

Yesterday I joined the "no buy year" at an Internet forum. We encourage each other to not buy unnecessary things, try to avoid excess and focus not to buy stuff out of boredom but because we need them. So I joined them for the next 3 months for a start and then I'll see how I'll continue^^ I want to save for a new Laptop, because mine is kind of broken (I need to use Linux on the fly and because of that it takes ~10min until it is usable .__.) And also I want to save for a trip to Japan to meet my friends again ^__^

So far so good.. because of the forum thread I didn't buy several things I already have a lot of.. for example washi tape :P  I already have tons of those but felt a bit tempted to buy them.. and then remembered: nope I don't need another one (especially because I ordered some online a few days ago...). I hope I can avoid at least these small money busters in the future.

Day 22
Today nothing really happened, I should be right in the middle of preparation for the semester papers but can't seem to bring myself away from the screen. Kind of lacking motivation :( So tomorrow I will go to university and work there without an internet connection. I hope it will help a bit :)

Day 20

Day 20 - Jan 11

Today I decided it will be my last "daily" post because I will be quite busy preparing and writing essays until the end of February. Blogging is a bit time consuming (and I guess since I'll be busy I won't have that much to talk about anyway..) Also I want to cut down time spent on the computer and well.. I have to admit that I'm quite lazy to turn my somewhat broken computer on when it takes 10 minutes to do it. (I will mainly be working in university for the papers.)
I will be using pen and paper from Monday to Saturday and blog about the process on Sunday :)
So instead of just listing things I will also be counting how many times I'm using the item.


What I used/wear today
-golden pen
-postcards
-cardstock
-coconut oil
-alverde mango lotion
-weleda hand lotion
-st. ives apricot scrub

What I bought today
-postage stamps (also used them up today)

What I threw away (other than regular trash)
-old newspaper (from 2012?)

What I reused/upcycled/made today
-made a b-day card for my friend :)

What I used up

Day 17,18,19

Jan 8-10

Ok, now it's three days put together o__o I hope I don't slack off too much >__< On monday classes start again so I guess I will be struggling to continue but give it my best :) By the way.. most of my slacking in blogging is because my computer is broken and it takes 10 minutes just to turn it on .__. I will be saving for a new one.. when I find a job >__> So basically I shouldn't be buying unnecessary stuff... but it is quite tempting though I'll try not to spend money on the small things that add up and just add to the clutter!
So because in the past days I bought some Xmas stickers and deco confetti I used some to make two Xmas cards. I guess I did it because I was in the mood for it and I'm sure when the time arrives I would be too busy (or lazy) anyway^^'

Day 15 & 16

Jan 6 & 7
Yesterday I was "busy" reading a book I got from the public book shelf. I don't want to hang onto it for to long or hoard it so I was kinda rushing to finish it. I really liked the story but not so much that I'm willing to let it take space in my overloaded book shelf so I'll be returning it to the public book shelf for others to enjoy ^__^

Today I visited my mother's friend with her. We were having some tea and I gave away a set of rulers to her daughter as a present (I think they were still unused, as I have plenty of rulers). Their apartment was inspiring  because they didn't have much clutter around, only necessary things. And it really made me think. I want to sell most of my mangas but am quite lazy to put them online or bring them to bring and buy booths on conventions .__. I'm giving away some books which I only bought on the flea market but I'm reluctant to just give away the expensive manga.. so I gotta find a solution for that. If you have any ideas feel free to write them in the comments^^

What I used/wear today
-dove hairtment
-coconut oil
-colored pens and pencils
-Hobbit notebook and Hobbit pen

Today was the complete opposite day then yesterday. It was very sunny and not too cold. And yesterday was a very stormy afternoon. So today I took a walk and yesterday I stayed at home the whole day. LOL
Next week classes start again and I'll try my best to incorporate a decluttering lifestyle and make some time to sort things thru and try reducing things. (Though today I bought an additional unnercassary Hobbit notebook - as if I needed another notebook..and I also brought in two books from the public book shelf .__. Hopefully I will be able to finish the two books in the next two weeks^^')

I do like winter - but I don't like the lazyness that comes with it (at least for me).

Day 9 & 10

I didn't do much yesterday and today so I'll just combine these two days :P
I was reading a book today with the intention of giving it away after finishing it. However midway I realized that I don't want to give it away because I like it very much :P So I went through one of my book shelves and sorted out some other books for the public book shelf or to give away to friends. I will probably sell half of my manga collection but I will leave that to the end :P
