I've set up some rules for myself and unless I can check off every damn one, I'm not allowed to buy whatever it is that I'm considering buying.
saving money
eyeliner
It's easy for colored eye makeup to go the route of "fourteen-year-old who was dropped off at the mall by her mom and went to Sephora for a long enough period of time that it was definitely considered loitering."
makeup brushes
When you clean your brushes, you’re not just getting rid of old makeup, but you’re also ridding the brush of (and here’s where things gets real gross): old makeup, dirt, oil, dead skin, and bacteria. I know. I know. Being a human is disgusting.
packing
I realized that if I wanted to make my time in the airport as easy and cheap as possible, I needed to get my act together and learn how to pack a carry-on like an adult.

eye cream
Did you guys know that doctors are, like, waaay more helpful than a 3 a.m. Google search? It’s sort of insane how much they know.
glasses
To participate in nearly all other facets of such a superfluous industry and then sit on my high horse when it comes to glasses seems pretty ridiculous, don’t you think?
expensive
While I’ve made the transition to certainly drugstore beauty products, there are some products that I really and truly believe are worth their high price point.
eyebrows
I mean, I’d rather have my eyebrows back, but I’ll definitely be sticking the Brow Tech To Go in my purse.
new year's eve
Wait. Does this mean I can just stay up forever?
closets
I understand why you should give clothes away. I mean, I understand the logical reasoning behind it.
clothes
Everything in life falls apart eventually, so just put on your sheer tights, live your life, and watch as they meet their demise.
products
Basically, eyelash curlers are my bitch now.
huge purses
When I imagine my life as a small purse girl, my hair is always a bit shinier and my cuticles are cut. I’m not so neurotic. I know how to cook something that isn’t burned eggs
graphic t-shirt
I’m probably too old for graphic tees, but I refuse to let ‘em go. And why should I have to? Hmmmmm?
clothes
The idea that women can’t wear or like pink just because of how the color has been marketed fills my mouth with regurgitated spit.
acne
Back in high school, when everyone’s skin was freakin’ out real bad, I would respond to my friends' complaints about their acne by telling them, “I don’t know what you’re talking about," because, “I’ve never had a pimple.” What. A. Dick.
clothes
A few of my best tips for shopping at everybody's favorite low-cost retailer.
etsy
YOLO, everyone dies, live each day like it’s your last, whichever one of those helps you justify your Etsy purchases.
chloe
Despite my interest in style and beauty, perfume has never really been my game. Like, just make me smell nice, you know?
hairstyle
The idea that I was paying an absurd amount of money for someone to put chemicals in my hair reassured me that they would do a good job. Oh, how wrong I was.
britney spears
I plan on using these products until I die because I’ll be damned if someone tells me I’m too old to wear soda-flavored lip gloss.
