[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a river nymph I don't even know what this so-called "makeup" is. Do you humans not also simply rinse your hair in the clear cold sea, and have rare seaweeds dabbed on your clear, lush skin?

OP here and I love this, would love recs for how to keep your hair luxurious even with constant exposure to salt water. I assume it has to do with a blessing bestowed by Achelous, the river god. Are you related to his children, the sirens? They must have good beauty tips.[/quote]

Ah, OP - it is the brackish water that makes a river nymph's hair shine and bounce. You need the mild and the salty in your life, and your hair needs it as well. Too much of one or the other, and life and your tresses will hang limp.

No but seriously - it's probably hard to say right now what you can cut back on and still feel happy. Today, I feel like I might literally die if I had to stop using my Skinceuticals CE - but if I had to cut back I'd probably start experimenting with the much less expensive versions until I found one that worked well enough for me. So that's what I'd do in your situation. See if you're happy doing your own nails; if not, then start trying out the less expensive nail places. Try out a dupe shampoo from what you usually use, see if it works. See if you can stretch it by using less. Etc.

I spend $ on skincare but virtually nothing on makeup so that one would be easy for me. I only use mascara and that's like $24 every three months - seems doable, but if I wanted to spend less I'd try out some cheaper brands. Then probably waste a ton of money on that experiment before deciding that it is perfectly reasonable to spend $24 every three months on frigging mascara.

Anyway - good luck saving for a house. That's exciting![/quote]
