It's the same tale, told time after time, you drive to Target for a sole purpose: toilet paper and maybe some gum. The excitement of the store rushes to your head and before you know it, your savings are gone and you have a bag of essentials to prove it. You get home and realize that you somehow forgot THE toilet paper. After doing the math and coming to terms with the fact that you are out of gas and the $2.25 in your change drawer won't suffice for the eight-mile trip back to the homeland, you sit down and light your $12.00 designer candle. Besides, your roommate probably won't notice if you snag another roll, right??

1. Candles

You grab a cart and start making your way through the soothingly organized isles. A sudden wave of coconut and pineapple leads you into the candle section. Who can resist the temptation of a heavenly Tahitian sunrise?? After all, what are the odds that you will wake up in time for a sunrise in the near future. How about 0/10? Impulse logic: "If I buy the candle, I can skip the Febreeze while still feeling zen. You know what they say, two birds: one stone !!!"

2. Fancy Chapstick

Burts Bees is having a sale, buy five chapsticks: get one free. How convenient would it be to keep a chapstick in every bag you use? Who is this genius creating these fantastic ideas??? Oh wait, that's you! Oh no, the value pack of chapstick does not come with the minty one. You NEED the minty one. Impulse logic: The last time you went skiing, you left the minty one at home and your lips suffered. Think: "What would Kylie do?"

3. Face Masks

It's been a long week and your skin needs some therapy. The grape seed face mask is for oily skin, and the avocado face mask is for dry skin. What if you have combination skin? Should you get both? The answer is YES. Besides, skin care is essential and your skin deserves the best. Impulse logic: This is way cheaper than an appointment with a dermatologist.

4. Nail Polish

Your heart says OPI, but your wallet says Wet n' Wild. Because you are a realistic adult, capable of compromise, you choose ESSIE. After testing a few colors, you narrow it down to a select few: five. Light pink says classy, but the weekend is coming up and classy is not the word you'd use to describe your weekends. You read an article a month ago claiming red nail polish attracts guys. Inner thoughts: Why would anyone believe such garbage? You hesitate for a moment. You get both. *gets sad about being single and migrates to the wine section*

5. Workout Clothes

Spring break is coming up and your winter body has gotten out of control. You NEED to work out. Wearing Norts to the gym might throw off the ratio of big T-shirts to pants that you have perfected. That's a lot of extra unnecessary laundry. Since you're an adult, and you have to pay for utilities, buying a new outfit is an investment. "No, I am not an economics major. I'm just a responsible adult, look it up."
