The 1 year Shopping Fast

I need to make some changes in my life. I'm trying to save money to move to London with my boyfriend, and I think this might be the right way to do it. I found this idea on the blog of the lovely Maja, she did this challenge for 10 months, but I will try and do it for 1 year. I hope I'm successful, I do really want to save some money so I can start a new life in London. I will update on this matter every month, as Maja did, but for now, I leave here the rules that I created for myself based on my needs and lifestyle.

T H E   R U L E S

1. Only buying replacements for worn out items. This may not be needed, but you never know.. a disaster may happen (knock on wood!)

2. I can buy beauty products that need to be replaced. Most probably I'm only going to buy stuff like shampoo and body wash.

3. I'm allowed to get what I wrote on my 2015 wishlist. These are things that I have been looking for this past year, and haven't found the perfect ones. So if I find them I can buy them.

4. I'm allowed to buy Presents. Not for me, but for friends and family.

5. Home decor items but no more than 100€. I'm moving, so I do need to decorate the bedroom, but that's it, just items for the bedroom.

6. I can spend my money on experiences. Things like plain tickets, dinners, cinema.
