Lately I’ve Been Thinking…
I’ve been thinking a lot lately. About a lot of stuff. And those opening sentences were ridiculously general and vague so let me break it down a bit.
Basically I’ve been convicted of how I save or spend my money. And to make a long story/thought process short, I’ve decided to start looking for extremely practical ways I can be a better saver and giver. I thought about giving up buying coffee, but for a college student who works at 5:45am I didn’t think that was the best thing. So then I started thinking about how much I love makeup. I love it. A lot. It’s just fun. It’s not that I think I need it all that much. I just enjoy it. But it’s expensive yo. Especially cause I’m not content with your general drugstore brands. So I’ve decided to simply stop buying any until June 1st. Yes that’s an arbitrary date, and yes that may not seem like a lot of time. But my goal is not to become a millionaire simply by forgoing the purchase of makeup. My goal is twofold. Or perhaps even threefold.
#1 To save money. This goal will definitely be accomplished because as I’ve already said, I’m simply not going to buy any more.
#2 Maybe I’ll be satisfied without it and won’t feel the need to buy any more for an even longer period of time. (Maybe I won’t. Maybe I’ll still love it just as much as the day I stopped buying it.) But that brings me to my last, and perhaps most important goal.
#3 I have so much makeup that I don’t even wear. It’s likely that I could continue using it this whole time and not even run out. So basically, my ultimate goal is to not only learn to go without, but also to use what I already have. (That is, I’m hoping to apply that last principle to more aspects of my life. Not just as it pertains to makeup.)
I’m not sure if any of that made sense. Also, I’ll talk about how I plan to save in another post. And for those who fear they won’t recognize me sans makeup, I’ve included a photo of my bare-faced self.
