Although I have "slipped" twice in recent weeks, I still feel pretty good about how the year is going, especially if I can stay on track right now. I've spent significantly less money, and wasted a lot less time both in shopping and in feeling a little guilty about shopping than I have in a few years, and that's good. The long term goal is to break an unhealthy habit of spending money and to replace it with a more detached attitude toward spending. It really isn't about never buying another thing.
The first thing I bought, the vintage cologne, was a no brainer. If one runs into 2 bottles of his favourite long discontinued cologne at less than 1/3 the price it would have cost in 1980 he'd a jackass if he didn't buy it, as it won't be there in January when the restraint is over. My second purchase, the new Zenith brush, is a different story. That was simply a case of see, click, and pay. I could have lived without it. But it'll be here tomorrow!

Lots of nice handle and colour options available by buying direct from Yaqi... Its nice to support UK business though...

My "No Buy 2018" excluded Purple Haze and Titanium. I have substituted brass for titanium as my number came up at Charcoal Goods. I am proud of myself as passing on the Copper handle I really liked
I may need to ask forgiveness from the Moderators later as I still have interest in titanium.

It's a good job I didn't see that MdC Rose on the BST in time or my No Buy 2018 would have been binned.

I understand soap made for an 8th grade science project is excluded from any No Buy 2018 commitment (13 yr old Hannah chose “The Saponification of Fats & Oils” as her 6 month Long project for her 8th Grade Physical Science class). Plus 10% of the purchase is donated to charity (5% of proceeds to the School/summer Lunch bag program and 5% of proceeds to the Group that supports fighting human trafficking).
