March Update and April Goals

This month I made good on continuing my No-buy on make up, though I did get new brushes and got rid of old bad ones.
 Though I finished almost no beauty products because why put on make up when I literally have no where to go. I finish a face milk, and am making pretty big progress on a few lotions and lip balms.
This year (2020) I have so far spent $49 on make up and beauty related products.
By March 31, 2019 I had spent $191 on make up and beauty
So far over last year $140 in saving. 

I surpassed my 1 in 1 out for clothing.  I brought in 4 new items of clothing and have 4 large BAGS of clothing ready to go to charity when we are allowed to leave our homes again.  I got rid of a lot of things I have been holding on to for far to long.  If I haven't worn it or used it since moving to Washington 3 years ago I have no reason to keep it.

We are in lock down, so any desires to see medical professionals about non-life threatening things such as food allergies have gone out the window. I have been feeling much better health wise those.  A few migraines with pressure changes and a few episodes of food that didn't sit well, but nothing compared to my normal life.  Eating everything at home and food I made/ that J made he cooks way better than I do I think has really helped. We are eating a lot healthier and that's been good for both of us.

I am finding a normalcy in isolation.  I am finding ways to connect with family and friends that I want to make sure we keep doing when this is all done.  Zoom happy hour is something I'd like to make a monthly event in my family.  This has helped bring us closer.

Spending 24/7 with someone can drive you crazy, but it can also drive you to have those conversations you've been putting off and to look at the ways you impact each other and how you can both grow.  It's good and we need to keep doing it, even when its hard.

Goals for April:
Clothing 1 in 1 out at least.  Now that I've done a large purge it will be harder and I can start to really curate what I want/need and what works for me.
Make up-- I'm not using much so I don't need anything more.  Keep going with the no-buy. I certainly have a wish list, but again I'm curating it and I'll get myself something nice for Christmas.
Health- Keep enjoying quarantine.  Get out for a daily walk in the sun.  Make food at home.  Enjoy time off and high levels of rest.
Communication- Stay in contact with people, stay connected, have those tough conversations.
