Blog Sale

As we all know I am on a spending ban! No more spontaneous buying, getting things I already have hundreds of and things I don't really need! Nope - I am a changed woman... for now! 
Aswell as cutting back on my spending I have decided to have a clearout.
Products, make-up, clothes, shoes - you name it, I am being harsh and brutal and getting rid of the stuff I really don't need,use or wear!

So I thought doing a blog sale would be a great idea - some of this stuff I have never used or only used onceor twice so why would I throw it away when it could do alot of good somewhere else!
I decided to pop my beauty bits on here as a blog sale and then all the clothing will eventually be put onto eBay! Saving money is my aim for this year - I have a holiday to think about!
These items, I have just never used, don't get one with, don't need or have them more than once!

All payments will be through Paypal as it is safe and easy for everyone involved and each product will have an individual p&p price with weight and size being taken into consideration included - so the price you see if the price you pay.

If you are interested in any of these items please e-mail me at : ayellowbrickblog@hotmail.com with "BLOG SALE" as the subject and I will get back to you as soon as possible to organise payment and shipping!

The Spending Ban

So if you've been seeing my tweets this week you will know that I have officially put myself on a spending ban.
I may have just booked a holiday to the most magical place on earth.... Yup that's right I am going to Disneyworld in Orlando, Florida on September 16th 2014. 
Me in Orlando - March 2012
 So this means I need money and with my Disney obsession.... alot of it!
 Not only do I need to pay off the holiday (ouch!) but I need spending money to make sure we (my boyfriend and I) can do anything and everything we want too while we are out there.
I have been to Disney before - back in 2012 when I was travelling the USA with a friend so I know what to expect and how much money I should really take with me.
Not only is there Disney but Universal too - and we want to do the lot! (Very doubtful we'll get to Seaworld & Discovery Cove aswell.... but after hearing all these Black Fish stories and things I'm not sure I want to!)
So that has called for the Spending Ban - no more buying things for the sake of it. Before I buy anything I need to go through the thought process - Do I NEED this? and if the answer is well... no Kirstie you don't - then no purchasing for me!
This is going to be a tough one for me as I am such a spendoholic but I've done it before, when I went round the US, and I shall do it again and I'm hoping it will help me in a number of ways.

1. Get through all the products I already own. I have so so many products that are just at on a shelf, some I've used maybe just once and others I haven't even tried yet - so why do I need to buy more? I don't! Maybe I'll find some amazing stuff and new favs!

2. Find old favourites. I'm hoping by using only the things I already own and not buying anything new (unless it is something seriously need like when my Liz /earle products run out every month) that I'll re-find favourties from months/years ago! 
I have so much that I've used, loved and then something else has taken it's place - this has happened so many times that I just have so many products that I love but not enough time, face, hair, body to use them all - now I will have time because there will be nothing to take their place!

3. Wearing clothes more than once.  It isn't only beauty products that I am obsessed with over-buying I am also a serial offender for clothes. 
Buying a dress - wearing it once on a night out and then never looking at it again? Yup that is me (hangs head in shame)! 
This year I am determined to break this habit and wear clothes to death! It's time to start buying things that I know I can wear for a number of occasions both day and night and not just one item for one occasion! This, I know, will save me so so much money!

These are just 3 things I'm hoping to gain, as well as saving lots of money, through doing this spending ban! There's going to probably be less hauls coming up but hopefully alot more empties posts!
I know there is going to be so many products that test me.... I've already seen a few newbies that are going to be so hard resist but I know it will all be worth it when I'm driving into Disneyworld with a big smile on my face and a purse full of money to spend!

Are any of you on a spending ban or been on one before? Any tips you can give me?
