Okay… My spending is still higher than I would like, but we’re getting there. It’s certainly trending down compared to July and August! I felt like my mindset really shifted in the second half of October, and I no longer felt like I needed to buy everything in sight. In fact, I bought all but one of these items in the first half of the month! Progress!
You already know I love the Love Tree cardigan. (Seriously, I’m so bummed I haven’t been able to track it down online so you all can be as cozy as me!)
As usual, I’m obsessing about my skin, so I picked up a few skincare items at my mini-facial. I really like the eye balm—it’s super cooling, and I just love eye cream-type products in a stick. (I actually had just gotten down to the bottom of the Kate Somerville eye cream stick I bought last fall.) The moisturizer feels lovely on the skin but smells like fragrance ads in magazines? Like a scent that’s simultaneously strong and muted? 🤷🏼♀️ I must say, it is growing on me though, haha! In addition to the usual skin issues that I obsess over (enlarged pores, redness), I’ve been having hormonal breakouts lately, so if you have any holy grail acne products, please let me know!
Lastly, I got my bffl a tee at Hot Topic for her birthday (we’re actual grownups 😂) and just so happened to pick up a few for myself! I was especially excited to find a Led Zeppelin concert tee from ‘77 because Pops saw them live then, and I didn’t have a Zeppelin shirt for Sparkle Punch Music Month!
What did you buy in October?
