And it's since kind of become almost like a support group.

I unfollowed every single influencer who ever influenced me to make a purchase.

Even today, if someone comes across my For You page and I see something that they're shilling, I block them.

Just because I'm opting out of that narrative, if you will.

And then another thing that I did was I put blocks on certain sites.

Literally, if I go try to browse certain sites, I'm not able to.

Yeah, I have a little treatise with myself.

So no new clothes, obviously.

No new beauty products.

I'm not allowed to buy any new perfume because I have so many.

No jewelry, no new technology, no home decor, and no bathing suits or beach stuff.

These are weird and highly specific to me.

The no buy rules are going to be different for everyone.

My area of overconsumption was beauty and fashion.

You know, there are people who may overconsume books.

In the yes column, I am allowed to get dinners with friends and my husband.

I do allow fresh cut flowers.

I'm allowed to buy books.

I'm allowed to buy video games.

Basically, anything that enriches my life is going to be in the yes column.
