What's going on?

Although I have over 50 posts in draft from (and images probably for another 10 on my phone) I haven't been posting. The majority of that comes from pure frustration and deciding that my laptop had completely bitten the dust. As technology moves so fast, it doesn't make sense to me to replace it until I need to replace, especially when I'm paying off debt like a boss. I'm very lucky and my job was held for my during my shorten maternity leave, and I don't require my laptop for income. My readership of.. well, me doesn't mind that I'm late on posting.

I then was evaluating my spending habits, and I'm sure I do have some posts that made it past draft that included my intentions of going on a "no-buy", which started with No Buy July. During this I noticed that I used my blog (which was very needed to help me feel like I had a brain) as an excuse to buy pretty shiny things. I do love swatching, but do I need to spend an increasing amount on samples (thank you exchange rate woes) just to post on my blog so that I have it for inventory when so much of my make-up is already unloved?

So what am I up to? Am I going to blog? Well, to be honest it amuses me when blogs just drop off with no warning, or have a big update post and nothing ever again. I was looking forward to doing that. However, I have found my blog very helpful for directing me for financial decisions like continuing with Ipsy or breaking up with Luxebox. Reviewing the images and/or reviews of the products later helps take away any emotional feelings and see if the items are still relevant to my life now. I also want to ramble about my goals, financial and otherwise. So maybe I'll disappear, maybe I'll just be tossing up images of stuff I buy, maybe I'll run regularly again, or maybe I might actually take the time to review something more akin to how I would want to see a blogger do it.

And for something totally random, here's a stick shop that I like to throw my money at. You should too. :0)
