Welcome to the Not Just a Mom Link Up hosted by myself, Adrienne, Jen, Joanne, Lauren, and Sarah! This month, we are talking about the things the internet made us buy. I’m stumped! I already share my Prime Purchases monthly, some of which are influenced by others, but in truth, I don’t buy a lot of things that the internet (or influencers) convinced me to buy! I think that’s because I want to be the one doing the influencing…
Here’s an idea. I will share my last few online purchases according to my PayPal account and we will see if I’m more influenced than I thought.
1. I bought the boots that I shared in my recent Currently post. I bought them because my previous pair got a hole in the sole and I decided to take advantage of the JC Penney sale. I still have not received the third pair I ordered but the first two are just a bit too big on me. I see that the next size down isn’t in stock so I think I need some thicker socks.
2. I bought yarn from Lion Brand. I often go to their Knit Kit page and pick out patterns to work on. I usually choose something not too hard but also not too boring!
3. I purchased my book planner for next year. For the past few years I have been using the Little Inklings planner. I was originally influenced for this on Instagram!
4. Starbucks app refill – ok this may have been an internet influence – I tried the Pumpkin Spice Latte with 1 pump of white chocolate mocha instead of one of the pumpkin spice pumps. It was pretty good.
5. Ooh – here’s one. I bought bookmarks from a friend on Instagram! Her Etsy account is Glitterary Boutique and she makes glittery bookmarks, but I purchased some fall themed laminated ones. And that was because she was having a sale.
So, what do you think? Does the internet make me buy a lot? I think not really. But link up your posts here, I will check them out and I will let you know if you influence me! Come back next month when we’re sharing things we’re loving lately!
What has the internet made you buy?
