Pause Purchasing

Sometimes the best way to simplify is to stop adding. This week, try a buying pause.

For the next 7 days, press pause on buying anything non-essential:

  1. No new containers

  2. No trendy snacks (we know, we know, we *love* them too!)

  3. No cute impulse buys

  4. No throw pillows or seasonal decor

  5. No skincare or makeup you haven’t run out of

Instead, take note of what you thought you needed. At the end of the week, revisit your list—chances are, you won’t miss most of it. This small reset clears mental and physical space, and helps you reconnect with what truly adds value.
