Extremes

I am a woman of extremes. Sometimes I can be all about my clean house and other times I drop my pants next to my bed until I can't see the carpet. I work out religiously yet will make lemon bars and pig out all day (today for example.) The biggest discrepancy is between my cheap self and my spend a fortune self.

I enjoy cute clothes yet I will look for the cheapest shirt ever and buy it in 3 colors. I shop online on 5 websites until I find the best sale. I will spend several hours a night shopping for airline tickets to find the sweetest
deal.

Yet it appears that I have zero qualms about spending exorbitant amounts of money on hair care products. We are talking about 50 dollars on shampoo and conditioner, 20 bucks on yummy smelling oils for shininess and luster, however much on delicious hairspray and deep conditioners and straighteners and blow dryers.

To be fair, I have super long hair so I have to invest some money into making it stay nice. Otherwise what is the point? I don't want to have long UGLY hair right?

But I should maybe take it down a notch and spend a little less on something that literally goes down the drain and a little more on clothes that adorn my body on a daily basis.

Or maybe I will just invest in some more cute jammies. I don't really leave my house much anyway. Ooooh jammies and delivered cupcakes.

  1. I'm the same way! Although I buy the expensive shampoo and conditioner on sale at Beauty Brands during their liter sale every year and stock up. But the hair has to look good, right? :)

  2. Right there with ya - hence the addication to hotwire - years of travel have taught me you can't ever beat hotwire.

  3. My splurges are on jeans, haircare, and underwear. BUT I figure those are things that last a long time and you get a lot of use out of, so I feel it's okay. You use your hair products every day or every other day, so I think it's worth it.

  4. I am so envious of people who are good shoppers. I am such an impulse buyer and never show patience to find a good deal. I basically just throw money away...so stupid.

    I agree, money on hair is money well spent. We can't be having you walk the mean streets of NYC with jacked up hair!
