I’m not talking about measuring your shampoo or sitting on your toothpaste to get the last drop out of it. But so many of us have the philosophy,

"If a little is good, then more must be even bet­ter. Even more will really make me sizzle."

You know how they tell you to shampoo twice? You don’t always need to. Trust your own beauty intuition.

THERE IS NO CORRELATION BETWEEN THE AMOUNT OF MONEY YOU SPEND TO THE VALUE OF BEAUTY BENEFITS.

GETTING A GREAT DEAL DOESN’T MEAN DEPRIVING YOURSELF

You’re just learning to do everything a little dif­ferently. You can still see your favorite movie, but might consider taking in a matinee. You might not be choosing a tony day spa, but instead treating yourself to a manicure for under $10. You may not be able to invest in a new wardrobe, but be thrilled with a new scarf that feels and looks great. Going to spend big money on a beautifully scented sachet? Of course not, you can make your own in minutes.

Legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel said it best: "There are people who have money and people who are rich." You can look rich without anyone knowing your budget.
