1. Set the realistic budget.
All you need to do is set the budget and stick to it. The easiest way to keep track of your spending is to create a simple excel spreadsheet. Shopping online is also a great way to keep the shopping under control and rethink the impulse buy.
2. Get the fave list.
Once you have your budget sorted, it's time to have a browse through shops like Etsy, Nkuku, Sostrene Green, Natural Collection and get your creative juice flowing. Don't forget to save your favourites.

I know, who likes to do maths when shopping, right? But believe me, having that calculator on and adding every little spend, you'd surprised how much it helps.
