Beauty & Style

When you are out of and have been broke for a while, it’s easy to skimp on specific items. You can buy cheap versions of things or put off buying the things you want and replace them with the things you need. No matter how down and out you are, there are a few things you should never skimp on. Even when you have no money and can’t afford to buy the things you want, below are some things that you should always do your best to spend a little money on.

Self-care comes in all forms. It’s the Saturday afternoon face mask. It’s the sneaky order of your favorite overpriced dessert. And yes, it’s absolutely that new set of lingerie—picked out for you, by you. Because let’s be real: lingerie isn’t just about what someone else sees; it’s about how you feel when you wear it. It’s power, it’s confidence, and—let’s not sugarcoat it—it’s the ultimate flex.

Skin is our body’s first layer of defense, providing a barrier to protect our bodies from bacteria and the environment. Sun damage to our skin not only makes it feel dry and look more wrinkled but can also lead to other problems down the line, which is why we should look after it like we do the rest of our body.

What is a well-edited wardrobe?  We all know about the mandatory LBD, the little black dress.  Most of us also have those one or two go-to outfits, the few well-loved ensembles that we know work.  Now, take that concept and flip the ratio.  Instead of having a few favorites to fall back on, along with a whole bunch of things that you love on the hanger, but have to play with to make work, make the bulk of your wardrobe exclusively tried and true gems.
