Duolingo ($1 per 10 day streak):
~ 6/7/18 - 60 day streak ($1)
~ 6/17/18 - 70 day streak ($1)
~ 6/27/18 - 80 day streak ($1)

How am I doing? (includes totals carried over from previous months, starting Dec 2017)
Total spent: $362.17
Total read: 9066 pages
Total run: 54.75 miles ($156.25)
Total Duolingo: 80 days ($8)
Outcome -$127.34 available to spend

 Since I've been carrying these totals for over six months now, I think I'll hit the refresh button and start from scratch in July. I haven't done that well through this challenge, and I'm hoping a fresh start gets me more encouraged to stick with it. Also, it's getting cumbersome to add up these numbers each time. I'm also planning on doing "No Buy July" like Lauren Mae Beauty and Elle S on Youtube. We'll see how that goes.

Healthy Habits Challenge - February 2020

I have the habit of spending too much of my money on makeup, and spending too much of my time browsing for makeup and consuming makeup-related media. To counteract this, I make myself "earn" my makeup budget by doing things that are better for my mental and physical health. Here's how I did for the month of February: Purchases: ~ I bought a birthday gift for a friend at Ulta - does not come out of budget ~ I repurchased my husband some dental floss (does not come out of this budget) at Sephora and got a Bobbi Brown lip gloss as a point perk - $0 ~ I purchased a full size of YSL Libre perfume since I loved the sample so much (giving myself grace on this purchase this month) and got the UD brow enhancer brow gel in "Brunette Betty" on sale (counts as a replacement since I destashed my other brow gel when it went bad) ~ ABH Jackie Aina palette - it was on sale at Sephora - I used a $20 gift card so I spent $14.10 Books read ($1 per 100 pages) ~ Cress  by M...

Thoughts on July Purchases

Soooo, these no-buy attempts are not going great. Technically, this month was a "replacement only low buy" so it's not as bad. But most of these are not replacements. Oh, well. Here we go! (in chronological order) ~ L'Oreal Lash Paradise : Not gonna lie, I bought this because of all the hype it was getting. And I was staring at a pile of deluxe sample mascaras that I didn't pick out myself but still felt compelled to use. So I bought a mascara. I actually really like it! It's volumizing without making my lashes look chunky, and it looks good on my lower lashes too. Would probably repurchase after I get through some more samples. ~ Replica Beach Walk : I've gone through two samples of this, and I love it. On me it smells like coconut and honeysuckle, so it's a great spring/summer perfume. It's been going in and out of stock at Sephora, so I snagged it while it was in stock. No Ragrets. ~ NARS vanilla travel size : I actually haven't used th...
