I’m tired of looking in my closet and frantically going through piles and piles clothes and running between my closets and still end up with nothing. You know the feeling. All I can think of is, all this time and money I spend shopping for clothes and I never seem to be able to find anything to wear when I need to pull an outfit for an event or just a normal day out.

 Being in my line of work I have access to all sorts of clothes and I always find deals and come home with bags of clothes. Unfortunately when I think about it, at the end of the day, I’m just stuffing my closet and creating more of a headache for myself. This problem came more visible for me after I had to pack all my clothes while moving homes. It was horrible, clothes EVERYWHERE!!!!

 Since I’m planning to move again very soon, I decided to challenge myself with “30 Day Of No Shopping!”. It’s going to be hard, temptations at every corner and lots of weak moments. I think keeping the great outcomes from finishing this challenge would keep me from spending my money on unimportant things. Saving money and having a clutter free closet makes everyone happy and ready to face anything. Now, starting today till May 6th, I will follow the rules below:

1. No frivolous shopping of any kind; clothes, makeup, nail polish, shoes etc.

2. No spending of money unless is for gas, food, transportation and health related.

3. Sort my closet and donate things that I haven’t worn for years…yes, YEARS! sighhh….

I will post weekly updates on the blog and share my thoughts and the challenges I faced with you all here. Meantime if any of you guys have any tips and words of wisdom and encouragement for me leave a comment on this post. I will share my favourite ones with everyone on my updates.
