New Goal

With May quickly approaching, I've decided to set a new goal for myself. I am going to try and save my money. This means no buying frivolous items. This also means not eating out. I've been keeping a cash book with me and every time I buy something, even if it's a drink at the convenience store, I've been writing it down. So now, looking back at April, it's obvious that I tend to buy food and clothes/makeup.

So here are the official (for me) points to my goal.

Starting May 1st until my birthday (May 25th):
1. No buying makeup or clothes unless an item is destroyed or lost and there are no alternatives already in my possession.
2. No eating out, unless it is for a birthday or special occasion (both my boyfriend and my birthday are in May ^^)

Those two cover the bulk of my expenses, after rent and utilities. I'm hoping that if I eat out less and stop buying lattes and snacks, that I'll also lose some weight. Also, if I don't buy new things, I'll use up some of the products that I already own. And I'll save money, which is important since I am taking a Korean class, going to a dermatologist, and need to save for grad school.

Since it's still April, I'm trying to think if there's anything else I want to get before my May savings month. Does that defeat the purpose of my goal?

Warm, Cold, Warm, Cold....

Korea, make up your mind! At the beginning of April it was starting to feel like spring, but in the last couple of days it's been raining and cold. I had to put on my heater again. And today it's kind of warming up again.

My body and wardrobe don't like this inconsistency. I want spring to come and stay. Warm weather is nice.
