In 2020 I challenged myself to a no buy year. I had no idea what to expect or whether I’d make it out the other side with my sanity still in tact. Good news – I made it! Not only that, but I actually enjoyed it. So this year I’m tweaking things slightly and embarking on a slightly less restrictive low buy year. How does that work? What does that mean? Well, let me share my low buy year rules.

Hi. My name is Aimee and I’m a spreadsheet nerd. During my 2020 no buy year, I recorded pretty much every available figure to help track my progress and keep me focussed on the end goal – having less stuff! From how and when I spent my money to my cosmetics inventory, if I could count it, I threw it in a spreadsheet.

Happy new year y’all! We made it! 2020 was a lot of things (most of which were not so great), but it was also my first ever no buy year. Way back in January I set out some rules for my no spend challenge and embarked on a year without shopping. Today I’m sharing an overview of my 2020 no buy experience including all the highs, lows and satisfying figures.

Over the last five years I’ve invested a lot of time and effort into trying to improve my mental health and carve out my own little slice of happiness. I read countless self-help books, took up yoga, attended counselling sessions, tried cognitive behavioural therapy and even skipped off to Thailand to learn to meditate with Buddhist monks.

I don’t mean to alarm anyone, but Christmas is coming. Now, I love Christmas. ‘Tis the season to eat chocolate for breakfast and put Tia Maria in your hot chocolate after all. But I’m not a fan of how wasteful Christmas can be or how much plastic tat gets thrown around at this time of year. So today I’m sharing my guide on how to have an eco-friendly Christmas.
