So if you've read my last post about New Year, you'll know about my one-month resolutions in 2020, just to mix it up a little. For January, I decided to give up fizzy drinks. I did originally decide to give up cheese, but that went out the window when I had a four cheese pizza on the 1st of Jan. Fizzy drinks it was. And I'll hold my hands up (whilst clutching a Pepsi), I did cave on a few occasions. I mean, what other mixer would you put with pink gin?! But for the most part, I did massively cut back on my fizzy drinks intake and I do feel slightly better for it. In that respect, my one month resolution for January has benefited me because I think it's encouraged me cut back on fizzy drinks in my everyday life. I know my stomach will thank me for it in the long run. It's almost got me into a routine of drinking water and juice and I do feel less addicted to the sugary drinks, so I'm deeming January a win.
For February, I toyed with the idea of giving up mayo and decided I'm just not ready for that, but I did decide to give up something else that is a massive part of my weekly life: online shopping. I spend unnecessary amounts of money on clothes, makeup and all sorts of tat, which wouldn't be so bad if I ever sent anything back. But I NEVER send stuff back. I'm THAT girl. I have a wardrobe full of clothes with tags on that have never been worn and I know I'll never wear, more makeup than I'll ever need and a surplus of knick-knacks that I just didn't need. I dread to think of all of the money I could have saved. Imagine the holiday I could have had! And so this month, I've decided to give up online shopping, try and save some dollar and actually start going through the things I already own. I thought Feb would be a good month for this because I've got no birthdays coming up this month so I don't feel the need to buy a new outfit (why do I have to do that for every event like I don't have enough things to wear already? Honestly, it's a curse) and I don't need to look for birthday presents. I can have a shop-free month, if I play my cards right. So January wasn't a complete success. There were a few slip ups. But on the whole, cutting back on fizzy drinks has encouraged a healthier lifestyle that I'm sure I'll be able to maintain, as well as being able to treat myself to a fizzy mixer every now and then. This month, I am absolutely determined to have no blunders, so I'm logging out of PLT, closing my Boohoo apps and signing out of ASOS for the month of February. Let's see how this one goes!
