I'm still successful since sunday and that was only a moisturizer. The only thing I've purchased since then is gas!

still holding strong. Of course the fact that I cant drive right now really helps out a lot!

Except that you have the whole internet in front of you. Proud of you, girlie!

it went great! Thanks so much for asking! It's  hard right now though b/c I really wanna eat normal food but I cant. I was bad today though and I had soup. I couldn't take it anymore! LOL

 

[Playedinloops]

Glad to have you back Isabel! Hope you are feeling ok!

That's great! I'm glad everything went smoothly. I've been reading your blog, and it's very inspirational. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> When can you eat normal food?

Also, you guys would be proud of me: I finally got around to returning my Clarisonic, and I am sitting on a little card with $175 of Sephora store credit. I didn't buy a thing!

NICE! Now when you need something like foundation or facewash or something, you'll have that money available!

I know right?! Too bad they don't carry Kiehl's, because I am almost out of toner. I think I might pick something up at the 3 month mark. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Alright guys I have a little confession. So far I've been good with this no buy even though I've been tempted. I had said I wouldn't buy nail polish, makeup or perfume.  I hadn't really been feeling all that great lately. Like seriously bummed. I saw a Halle Berry perfume for 8 dollars originally 15. I had it before and absolutely loved it. So I purchased it. I don't feel bad about it because it's not like I spent a whole lot. I already know I love it. So for sure it's going to get used up. I did finish a perfume it was a small Faith Hill perfume. That made me feel good also. I just wanted to share that I guess I kinda broke the no-buy....BUT I'm glad I didn't overdo it. This no buy is helping me say no to things I don't really need.

I am not gonna lie. I am uber tempted by that Tarte Miracle of Maracuja set. Siiiiiiiiiiiiigh.

CAREFUL with the pasta....It took me forever to be able to handle pasta. Still have trouble with rice.

String cheese is gonna be your best friend, I'm tellin' ya.

And won't it soon be time to post pix on your blog? /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

 

[ladygrey]

Yes, yes! I like reading your blog! I promise, one day I'll stop being a creepy lurker and actually comment lol. Keep us all updated on your progress! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Aww, and thanks! It was hard to resist the NARS exhibit a blush...but I did it!

 

[ladygrey]

Ok, so I was bad and I went back to Sephora and got some stuff! I'm not counting it as breaking my no-buy since I didn't actually spend anything. I still have about $60 left on the store credit card, and I'm saving it for a time when I run out of something.

I got...

Philosophy senorita margarita soap (this is actually something that el hubs picked out)

Tarte Smooth operator in agent 00

NARS blush in exhibit a

NARS lipstick in love devotion

Sephora pore cleansing pad

nice haul! Now did hubby pick that out b/c HE likes it or did he pick it out b/c he likes it on YOU? I ask b/c my hubby LOVES the autumn harvest scent and insists I bathe in it all the time! But he likes using my celestial glow wash! Our 3 year old loves the pumpkin scent too!

 

[ladygrey]

I'm pretty sure he likes it too! Last time I had it, I thought I was going crazy because it seemed to be vanishing at a much faster rate then previous times, and he fessed up and said that he had been neglecting his Irish Spring bar soap in favor of the senorita margarita soap! I think he also likes it on me, since he is often encouraging me to wear and bathe in scents that smell like candy or something edible haha!

And pumpkin soap smells AMAZING. Part of the reason I love fall so much! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I was really bad today. I went to the mall with a friend, and we went in sephora and I made it out of there no problem, surprisingly. But a new kiehls store just opened up and...omg, I was in love and wanted everthing. I spent over 100 dollars on the dark spot correcting serum, an SPF serum, eye cream, and a lip balm. It was opening weekend so I got a free packet that included a fullsize facewash but I'm kind of mad at myself because I really did not need another eye cream, serum, or facewash. The spf however was very necessary.

I LOVE Kiehl's! Best stuff ever.
