Man, Being A Girl Really Is So Expensive

What girls really spend their money on.

Man, Being A Girl Really Is So Expensive

Everyone knows that having daughters is inevitably more expensive than having sons. There are many reasons as to why this is true, and here are some of them:

1. Getting manicure/pedicures

Not many girls I know can resist going to the nail salon about every week or so and getting a manicure/pedicure! Being pampered is one of the best feelings, and getting your hands and feet massaged is nothing short of a luxury!

2. Getting your eyebrows constantly waxed or threaded

I know that saying your eyebrows are "on fleek" is a trend, but most girls would be lying if they didn't actually love having their eyebrows look amazing. It may be painful and a frequent expense, but it is definitely worth it.

3. Going-out clothes


Growing a collection of going-out clothes is inevitable. It starts with bar/bat mitzvahs and sweet sixteens, but only continues to worsen once you go through high school and into college! We will do anything to not have to repeat an outfit.

4. Shopping at Victoria's Secret

Walking past Victoria's Secret in the mall without going inside is one of the hardest things to do. Especially if they're having their 5 for $25 deal! Going through the bright colored, pretty assortments of bras and underwear is definitely hard to resist.

5. Trips to Sephora

Stepping foot inside Sephora is a very dangerous thing. Especially because of how amazing it smells when you walk inside, you just can't leave! I always find myself walking into Sephora with no makeup on, and walking out with a full face on and a lot less money in my wallet.

6. Hair treatments (Keratin, Brazilian, Japanese)


Most girls want what they can't have, which in many cases is pin-straight or tamed hair! It's almost a miracle that these hair treatments exist! Waking up and not having to flat iron your hair for it to look good is one of the best feelings.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
