Many a time, when I worked in the city, I would see many bags, the expensive stores and the people carrying them, not so happy.
I was always taught, pay you rent, bills, then food. What is left over can be either to put away for something your planning to buy as a need, not a want. Or to buy items you have needed for a while.
I have stuck to this all my life.
I use to watch the nonnas and how they would buy multiple, of soaps, toilet paper etc, when a great deal was to be had and it works.
This time of year with the black Friday sales, I keep my eyes on those shops I know fit my build, I love $4.95 deals on cloths. I like buying old winter stock that is cheap, because I keep my eyes peeled on the prices.
I recently got 4 pairs of pants, 2 jumpers and 1 shirt, all for that amazing price and they are good quality and stylish.
Coming back to that, I have all my life tried to hide, anything that makes me shine, I have hidden from. Well not anymore, I have got things that are just right and just me.
The other day I felt so good, I went and bought some makeup, yes me (this is huge for me).
What is the big deal, I had clinique and being hyper hyper allergenic, I could not wear it because, my eyelash follicles burned and itched, my skin would feel hot and like someone had stuck me with a cactus, my skin for weeks would be so aggravated, even a breeze would hurt.
yes, I am that sensitive. I am also allergic to vitamin c, which is in many products.
But I found a 50% off a mineral brand, I have researched and they said it should work with sensitive skin, so I bought 3 items, to give it a go.
And, it worked, I am so happy, I look 20 years younger, I need a few more basics, but yeehaa.
