Its Fall Time

Good day my friends! Today is officially the first day of fall and what that means is a fresh start!

Like the seasons, change is good!  

 Well for me that is what it means... I love the beginning of things.. days, weeks, months and even seasons. It is the perfect time to get on track with items that have seemed to have gotten derailed, which pretty much is everything in my life lately :) and so with that being said, I am going to start today off right and get back on track. I feel as if I have been all over the place with my blog, the main concept of the blog was to document how I was going to use the items I had buried deep in my closet and stop buying stuff. I never really got off the ground with that, I kept making excuses or buying and saying I would start tomorrow, as you all know, tomorrow never comes, but since today is the beginning of Autumn, I guess its a better time than ever to get started!

Autumn Is Here!  

I also talked about the happiness project, the weight loss goal and many other things in this blog and I don't want to let those things die but they are going to be part of the SPEND LESS, and LIVE OFF THE CLOSET. I am going to make some rules today and they are going to be hard, fast rules for me moving forward. I Am really hoping to do well and being writing about my success next year at this time. :) Here are my rules starting today . 1.) Use as much stuff as possible that I already have. I may run out of the shampoo I like, but before buying more, I am going to use what is hiding in the closet. 2.) I will not buy just to buy, I will not try to find happiness at the bottom of a shopping bag. I will ONLY buy when I need something. 3.) I will allow myself a small "allowance" each week. 4.) I will still have fun, I will not make myself miserable because I am trying to save money. 5.) I am allowed to buy gifts, I WILL Keep it to reasonable amounts. SO there it is my friends, the rules of this fun project. Long term goal is to be 100% debt free, to de-clutter and to start living a less materialistic lifestyle and to save save save! I want to retire by age 60 and I want a beach house .. that may not happen, but I will get on track and I will do my best to live a healthy lifestyle !
