I totally agree with this.







I don't wear make-up because I'm lazy.


Me too. Could some explain this one? I read the thread on French women and still don't get it.

I don't do my nails either.


I'm not writing this to be snarky, but if you've been around a lot of people with understated old money, you would know what this means. We have always vacationed in Chatham, Truro and Welfleet on the cape. Tons of people like this (unlike us, they own their houses and only use them 8 weeks a year) The dowdier they dress, the more money they have (at least up there). I almost lol thinking of lipstick or any make up really on any f them.

Yikes!

I walk to the grocery store for chicken because there literally is no more room in my freezer. Seriously, I couldn't get a popsicle in there.

Vitamix= gift; Sodastream= a WTF gift from DH; and a Nespresso was in a gift bag from a work event I attended.

Not wearing make-up= I'm lazy and no one seems to notice or care anyway.

Those are intentional. And IMO only one of those is a good college prep school...


If you have enough money you don't need a college prep.
