Confessions of a shopaholic...

If you know me, you know how much I love shopping. It may just be my favorite thing to do after eating. Even though I have a surplus of clothes, I still search for more. I cannot stop!!! After going through my closet and counting how many dresses I own, I have come to the conclusion that I must stop.

#1) I don't need more clothes

#2) My checking account is being depleted

#3) My money and time could be put to much better use.

So, inspired by The Uniform Project, I am going to stop shopping until December. All of the money that I budget each month for shopping will be donated to The Akanksha Foundation. The foundation supplies children who are living in the slums of India with financial assistance for educational expenses (i.e. school uniforms).

I am excited to begin donating to such a worthy cause, however....I will have to find the willpower to stop shopping. In the past 2 weeks, I've gone 5 times! Well...good luck to me? Hopefully I will reach my goal of $360 ( the approx. amount of 1 child's school year in India). Good night all!
