Oh, you just pulled it up on your phone.
Oh, you like wrote, is this like a treatise that you wrote yourself?
I wrote myself.
So there's like a no column and a yes column.
Okay, now identify your problem areas, the things you'd like to change, what you want to stop buying, buy less of, aka your no column.
Tell me the no column.
And now onto the yes column.
Think about what you do want to spend your money on and what kinds of things are allowed in your no buy.
Having things that you are allowed to spend on, even splurge on, is really important, says Alicia.
That's because the dopamine hit you get from shopping is real.
And when you stop buying new things, it can get really hard.
Things in Alicia's yes column, Pilates classes, concerts, even budget travel.
These are things Alicia feels good about spending money on.
And when the hard moments come, Alicia says she tries to focus on what her long-term values are and whether whatever she's tempted to buy aligns with those values.

After all, she says, food and fashion come from a lot of the same places.
Dilys' takeaway number five, educate yourself about where your clothes come from.
There are some wonderful online resources, including sustainablefashion.com.
