I used to think that I couldn’t pull off red lipstick, winged eyeliner, and leather jackets. There are probably more things that I subconsciously believed I couldn’t pull off, but these three I remember vocalizing to my self and others.
.
Then one day a few years ago, regarding red lip stick, I decided I was just going to wear it everyday. I thought “I wish I was someone who wore red lip stick everyday.” And then I thought, “I’m the person that controls this, I can just do it.” .
And you know what? The first time I did wear it I was made fun of. But you know what else? That was the only time.
.
All of a sudden I quickly became know for red lip stick and had people telling me “I could never pull that off but I wish I could!” At which I’d tell them that I used to believe that lie but really we are the only ones believing we can’t “pull off” something, and anyone who actually says a comment like that to your face is probably just upset that you had the nerve to do something they wish they could of done.
.
I don’t wear red lipstick as much anymore because of my own choice, but I wear winged eyeliner everyday whether I’m going out or not because I like the way it looks. And I’ll wear fake leather jackets (too cheap for real) as long as I want to and you should too.
.
Don’t make decisions about clothes, looks, purchases, money, jobs or whatever else based on limitations you put on yourself or others that may try and put on you. It’s your life. You will receive the consequences or benefits of whatever decision (or lack of decisions) you make so take control of those decisions and the life you have been given.
.
Wear the lipstick. Rock the jacket. Wing the eyeliner. Metaphorically speaking and literally if that’s your wish. 🤘🏻

Is a messy desk the sign of a good and productive week? I’m going to go with yes. What about the calendar still saying January half way into February? It’m going to go with “It’s fine.”
.
Hope your week was productive, your Friday tied it up well and your weekend is filled with rest. 👏🏻👏🏻

Ps. That calendar is a free printable from the girl tagged that I’ve used every year for the past three years. So if you are needing a basic calendar snag it!

My valentine has more hair than me, better at cooking than me and can nail the photo booth jumps like no one I know. But we both know how to use our money to our advantage instead of it being another burden in our life and for that I’m continually grateful. Happy Valentine’s to you Greggory Peter. You are as cool and funny as they come. 😘

Proof that $3 sweaters, $.59 mugs, $45 couches and under $5 pillows make for cute and cozy snow days. Or any day really.

Spending less money doesn’t mean living less life. Budgeting doesn’t mean going without. Cheaper doesn’t always mean worse quality. I 1000% believe that you can have a life you love while using money wisely. Actually I believe the ONLY way to truly have a life you love is through using money wisely.
.
I may take silly pictures with really long captions not everyone probably reads but the gist of all of it is the same: Get control of your money and spending in order to live a life you love. Don’t let money control you. .
