    One of the challenges I set for myself was to not buy anything besides food and it has turned out to be more difficult than I anticipated. I knew that I did shop a bit so I knew this would definitely be a challenge, but it also has stopped me from buying small, mindless things that I normally would have bought. For example, right as the eco challenge started I ran out of make up (sounds small, but I am reminded of it every day when I go to put it on) but have stopped myself from buying it. There have been other small items that I have wanted to get, but then remind myself of this eco challenge and do not buy. Not only has this saved me money, but it also is reducing my waste.

      This definitely would have been a huge challenge for me, but also a huge money saver! Good for you for having the willpower and consciousness to not even buy makeup as its a part of your everyday routine.  I think there are a lot of things that we use everyday and don't even realize how unnecessary they are or how much we use/depend on them.

      I also agree with the difficulty of this challnege. This would be so hard for me to do mostly because I like to online shop, get coffee and food before going to work. I think I may try this challenge though and see how long I can last.

      I can relate to this so much right now. Especially after signing a lease for an apartment starting in June I need to save my money so I can pay for rent plus food/ gas/ etc. I've found it difficult because something small like you said always pops up that is somewhat necessary to buy, like I ran out of body wash. Good for you to stop yourself from buying makeup though, I don't know if I'd have the same willpower. I think I'm going to try even harder to save money on things I don't need.

      This would definitely be a challenge for me because I usually just buy things that I want online without thinking about it. I want to try this challenge in the summer because I feel like I spend a ton of money during the summer months especially because I know I am making money. I wonder how much money I could save while doing this challenge for a couple weeks.
