No to Impulse Buying

I admit, I have become an impulse buyer whenever I get depressed.

Usually when I buy tons of stuff, then at the end of the day I don't even know what I have to do with them. 
My usual buys when I'm in my impulse mode is: 

1. Food - I'm Filipino, most Filipinos like food, do the math. 
 
2. Hair Products - For some reason when I buy products that will make my hair look good, I would also feel good. I would also go to the salon for some treatment. 
3. Make up - No need to ask why. :) 

4. Alcohol - Believe it or not I buy and drink red wine, but I just store it and let it age for some time so when the time comes for a celebration (i.e. my birthday) I would have something to drink which is legal in my parent's eyes. :) 
 
I am so irritated with myself when I buy without even thinking. I absolutely hate it! That is why sometimes I really think things over and over when I would go out. And nowadays I instinctively stick to my budget or the money I have in my wallet. If I go way beyond what I have I would have to get myself sucker punched haha! 

All girls love to buy something for ourselves but I think buying too much would not just hurt our wallets but also our vanity area. 

Because of my impulse buying, I'm planning on getting a bigger traincase or at least a decent bag I can properly store all my make up without everyone at home rummaging through them, especially my nephew and niece. 
They are growing up so fast tita cannot cope! haha! 

I'm actually planning on buying a good gadget by next year so I'll be stopping the shopping sprees for a while. 
I'm thinking a canon camera for my youtube? 

What do you think? 

Have to go now thank you so much for visiting my page and I'll talk to you soon! 

Much Love!

makes sense to me! I myself try to resist things I like but Don't need. :) hehe

drinking red wine is good so keep it up! lol

as for make ups, I really force myself not to buy impulsively! the thing is, make up literally have an expiration date! there's too many of them, Im not able to use them even just to compensate the cost! tsk tsk hehe

i agree with you, thanks for refreshing me my Year's Resolution!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
