3 months without frivolous consumption

One of the goals I set myself for 2010, is to live more thoughtfully and with greater simplicity. As a direct consequence, I have resolved to refrain from frivolous spending for the next three months, with the moratorium to be reviewed and evaluated in early April. Hand in hand with that goal, is the resolution not to visit ebay to buy, or browse the buy sections - as it just leads to unnecessary desires for products I don't need and yet desperately want for no valid reason.
So far it is day four and although I have not yet broken this promise to myself, I am however finding it to be a significant struggle, as it involves a complete overhaul of previous ingrained habits and behaviors. Additionally, as I am away from work and on holidays I have a significant quantity of time to dispatch and therefore find my fingers itching towards the path of least resistance. I suspect the review of beauty products, and beauty videos on youtube and vogue forums and browsing sasa.com and strawberry.net is not exactly helping my plight either. NEED to stay STRONG dammit, I need to refocus, regroup and keep this promise to myself.
