Urban Decay for my eye makeup, Dior for my lashes and face, and Clinique for my skincare! My best kept secret: L’oreal Voluminous Mascara. Seriously, works better than most super expensive mascaras you get at Sephora! I’m a mascara junkie and this is my top choice!
My grandmother always tells me, “Marry for money first, and the second time around for love.” Well grandma, I’ve got both covered (:
Your grandmother is a gold-digging slut.
What is your problem? Clearly you never listened to anything your mother, or probably anyone else for that matter.
while this guy is a douche he is kinda right, damn girls are more shallow and about money than i even realized, and that says alot
Yeah, one thing about most of us is that even though we can be assholes, we’re usually joking. Most girls are being dead serious with all the “he ain’t touching me if he ain’t rich” type deal.
And as a sorority girl, I’m ashamed that other sorority girls have that kind of attitude. It’s shallow and quite frankly, very sad. Don’t worry though, not all girls in letters feel that way about money and men!
Ladies please excuse my language, but Piker what the fuck is wrong with you? That’s not funny or amusing or clever in the least bit, it’s disgusting. What is your motive here? Do you really get pleasure from making such horrific insults towards women you don’t even know? Go and slap your parents for raising such a useless human being.
My mother didn’t speak to me about fashion and baking and money because she didn’t want me to live my life thinking those were the most important things for me to concern myself with. Both my parents, though independently wealthy, went to great lengths to make sure my sister and I were not raised to be selfish, spoiled, shallow, or snobbish, and would become independent, caring, respectful, hard-working women who earned everything they had. So while I don’t have any words of advice about makeup, I do have several inspirational phrases that my mother has repeated to me over the years:
“Proper planning prevents piss poor performance” and “if you fail to plan you plan to fail” are two of my favorites. “Unless you’re holding a gavel in your hand and wearing a long dark robe, you don’t have the right to judge anyone.” “Ten years from now, no one is going to remember what brand of jeans you were wearing, what handbag was on your arm, and what car you were driving. But they will remember the kind of person you were and how you treated them.” “Nobody in this world is going to do you any selfless favors, so if you want something done, do it yourself.” “Marry your best friend.” (And I am!) “Don’t for a second think you’re better than anybody else. You’re a human being and have faults and make mistakes just like the rest of the world. Nobody’s perfect, so don’t pretend like you are.” Something my grandmother taught my mother that she passed down to me is that there are only five things you are entitled to: food, water, shelter, clothing, and medical attention. Everything else is a privilege, so be grateful for what you have.
Aw, you’re always so well-spoken, EngagedandUnderage! I see you around TFM all the time and always think to myself what a nice person you seem to be!
When I was like 13, I had a poster in my locker that said “Ten years from now, no one is going to remember what brand of jeans you were wearing, what handbag was on your arm, and what car you were driving. But they will remember the kind of person you were and how you treated them” in my room. Great message, glad to see someone else respects it too. In the end, you can be as pretty and well-dressed as you like, but the type of girl who stands out and gets noticed is the one who is genuinely kind and compassionate. You might catch a man’s attention with a hot bod or an expensive dress, but it’s your personality that’ll keep him around.
Aww thank you! I really appreciate that! Yeah my parents made it their goal to keep me humbled and down-to-earth. They would have locked me up and thrown away the key if I were anywhere near high-maintenance! I won’t deny that I enjoy the finer things in life, but my parents won’t buy me anything but the bare essentials. If I want a pricey pair of shoes or some concert tickets, I have to pay for them myself! I’m incredibly grateful for being raised to appreciate everything I have and not take it for granted, and I plan on passing on that knowledge to my own children! 🙂
