As you can see on my home page, I am participating in a minimalism challenge. One of the challenges is to evaluate the last 5 items I have purchased – I suppose the idea is to be more thoughtful about how often and what I buy. I assumed that by last 5 purchases, the challenge didn’t literally mean the very last 5 – which were petrol, nachos, a scoop of ice-cream, sushi and two fifths of the fee for an escape room activity. I took this to mean bigger items – less consumable items – that were bought using my personal account. Here they are:<\/p>\n
24\/02\/2018 – T2 – Sweet Dreams Tea<\/p>\n
No regrets buying this tea. It is literally the only tea at home which has no caffeine, so there’s no guilt drinking it at night.<\/p>\n
27\/02\/2018 – Skull Candy Headphones and a Headphone Jack<\/p>\n
I am FOREVER losing my headphones. I’m glad I have them and I am doing my best to look after them. It’s gotten more expensive to buy headphones for my iPhone because of the unique headphone jack. Also I feel like I could be getting more out of my headphones if I got my act together to actually create more playlists.<\/p>\n
02\/03\/2018 – Kindle – Book of Joy<\/p>\n
I bought this because I finished my last book “A Spoonful of Murder” by Robin Stevens. I’m not reading this very quickly but I’m generally enjoying it and loving the quotes.<\/p>\n
09\/03\/2018 – Cute food shaped pencil erasers from Daiso<\/p>\n
This technically should’ve been a business expense, but it was so cheap that I decided to buy it from my personal account. I think the kids enjoy the novelty of playing with it. I bought it because one of the kids broke one that I got from Hong Kong last year. Sadly, another kid broke it again – ALREADY! I’m not buying another one.<\/p>\n
24\/03\/2018 – Tiff XO Membership<\/p>\n
Basically bought this because I finished listening to the “Crappy to Happy” Podcast and I liked Tiff’s philosophy to weight loss. Haven’t really used any of the stuff I have access to yet (as I don’t have access to much), but I will try as I’ve spent money on it already.<\/p>\n
Anyway that’s it. Another challenge done and dusted. I don’t think I regret any of these purchases, I feel like they all add something positive to my life. I’m wondering if this might be a useful exercise to complete with my business hat on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
