Three Amazon Purchases You Won’t Regret, Ugly Drinks & 30 Days No Online Shopping

Leave a Comment

You may remember back a few months ago when I said I was taking the month off from online shopping. Well spoiler I failed miserably. Like so bad. So tonight after I ordered by case of Ugly seltzer because I apparently just couldn’t help myself (who knows maybe you can’t help yourself either and if that’s the case here is $10 of your first order) I decided that I need to take a break for real this time. Thirty whole days with absolutely no online shopping. Nada. 

Also I thought this might be the perfect time to share with you five things you probably don’t need but that I love and use regularly. Because why not fuel your shopping addiction while I try and reduce mine?

Healthy Human Insulated Tumbler.

I bought this after having Ingrid because when you’re a nursing mama you basically constantly feel thirsty and the bigger the tumbler the better because it means not having to move or wake a sleeping baby. Bonus this thing keeps my water cold for HOURS like so many hours and despite it being 32oz it is small enough on the bottom to fit in a cup holder of my car. Basically this is the magical unicorn of tumblers.

 

Soom Sesame Tahini and Chocolate Sweet Tahini Halva Spread.

Soom Foods Pure Ground Sesame Tahini Paste Two Flavor Sampler: (1) Sesame Tahini 11oz and (1) Chocolate Sesame Tahini 12oz

Basically there was this other tahini brand that I used to subscribe and save on Amazon but then it stopped being on Prime so I had to find an alternative. After trying a bunch of different kinds the Instagram Influencers made me buy Soom and I have to say they were right this stuff is amazing. Also this is women owned business and these women are making an amazing product! 

BuckWHAT! Noshes 

These gluten free, non-GMO, vegan, refined sugar free little noshes are my current go to snack. I love the oatmeal raisin flavor and my runner up is the Simply Sunflower. They are little but are super filling and perfect for my active mom lifestyle, plus my kids are into them as well and with the simple ingredients I can’t help but share (even when I don’t want to.) You can find them on Amazon and if you use code: RWT20 you can for 20% off your BuckWHAT! order.

30-Days Of No Online Shopping | #YearOfIntentionalLiving

Leave a Comment

It has become entirely too easy to buy anything with just a few key strokes. As part of my #YearOfIntentionalLiving project I am challenging myself to go 30 days with out online shopping.

Yes, no online shopping of any sort.

This will truly be a challenge for me because I order a lot of our groceries online, diapers and other essentials online. I mean really it’s so easy to just have everything sent straight to my house rather than heading to the shops but I also wonder is it too easy? Just today I made two Amazon orders without even thinking twice. That right there is enough for me to say, yes this is what you need. 

So for the next 30 days I will go without ordering:

  • food.
  • take-out.
  • clothes.
  • books.
  • anything off amazon.
  • basically anything. 

This is not a buy nothing challenge. This challenge is about shopping a little bit slower, more locally and with more intention.

Goal:

  • Spend Less.
  • Save More.
  • Create less waste. 
  • Be a more mindful consumer.
  • Have more time for personal goals and passions.

I’m curious how we will feel after this month. 

How will I feel? Empowered? Frustrated? Exhausted?

Will we see more cash in our bank account? 

Will our trash & recycle be smaller?

Will we come to find we really don’t need as much as we think?
