Alright gals, here's the deal. R sees me as a laid back, girl-next-door type that doesn't get all hyped up about material things. His thinking is probably because I pay the bills and as long as I'm still buying things that "just appear" around the house sane he knows we still have money {and the fact that I can hold my own with his guys while throwing back a few Miller Lites}.
While there are a lot of things I am laid back about there are other things that bring out my inner snob. So, here we go. I realize this makes me look incredibly unlikable, but we all have our things..... Here are a few of mine {what, did you really think I was going to list everything for you? I would like you to come back, thankyouverymuch.}
DON'T...
...use fill-in-the-blank invitations. There are so many cute {and affordable} options out there that look professional.
...leave your dishes in the sink. Ask R how many "tutorials" he has gotten over the years about how to open and load the dishwasher.
...buy cheap shampoo {trust me, your hair will thank you}.
...leave your clean laundry in the basket {that's why you have a dresser.... use it}.
...wear pajamas out in public. Unless you are going to Walmart and want to fit in, that's not a good look.
...over tan!! While having that sun-kissed glow is nice, being an oompa-loompa is not attractive. Period.
...buy cheap shoes. If you're a heels girl, like I am, your feet will thank you for getting the better shoes.
DO...
...buy store brand cereal {especially if your husband and/or kids eat as much of it as R does}. It tastes the same as the expensive stuff and usually you get more.
....buy your wine in a box {I don't know who the genius was that discovered 3 bottles can fit into a box, but I'm pretty sure I have a huge crush on that person}.
...use an eyeshadow primer - creased eyeshadow isn't a good look for anyone.
...use quality skin care products {my mom instilled in me the theory that it's okay to spend a little extra on your skin}.
...buy good sheets and bath towels. Nothing is better than climbing into a bed with soft sheets or getting out of the shower and wrapping up in a fluffy towel.
...treat yourself to the occasional massage. You're worth it.
So there you have it. Am I a terrible person for having these opinions? What is on your Do and Don't list?
I totally agree about the clothes. Also make sure they go into the dirty clothes basket. It's not hard!! And I refuse to let my hubby do dishes. Waste of time BC I have to redo it.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha - aside from overtanning, I pretty much commit all of your Don'ts (aside from the dishwasher one...) I ain't even mad at'cha. I just hope you can look past my laundry laziness and my affinity for cheap shit and we can still be friends.
ReplyDeleteI am a cereal snob! I can only have name brand. :-)
ReplyDeleteOk- what brand of shampoo do you use? I committ the cheap shampoo sin. Yet I just bought expensive NARS makeup. I'm a conundrum.
