This is a follow-up to last week's podcast about Art Supply No-Buys. I had a huge response from that episode so this week I thought I would share some tips and tricks to help you curb the urge to spend when you already have supplies you want to use.

Books Mentioned:

The life Changing Magic of Tiding Up and Spark Joy by Marie Kondo

Goodbye Things by Fumio Saski

Research of future self by Joseph Kable

When I asked viewers of my YouTube channel what their goals for 2024 were I had a lot of folks say that they were going to try a "no buy" or "low buy" when it came to art and craft supplies. Today we are going to talk about this and also how we can be more intentional with our purchases and dig into why we want and buy the supplies we do. Are you using the supplies you buy or collecting them? Is your shopping a form of stress relief? Can you use up the supplies before they go bad? Are you tempted by a good deal? We will discuss all of this and more today on the podcast! I'd love to hear what you think as well, we are all in this together!
