Frugality

This post is really just to defend my financial abilities. I know we all think that I am horrible with money, and that's mostly because I am. But! I am getting tremendously better. I may spend copious amounts of money on fine wining and dining, but I am penny pinching in other areas. This one will shock you all, if you know me and my love of hair care products in the least: I just finished, and I mean this morning, the first bottle of conditioner I bought here in New Zealand. That means that one (count 'em: one!) bottle of conditioner lasted me from the second of February to now. Wow, I'm good. And my hair isn't awful looking either, apart from the fact that we are now reasonably sure that short hair no longer suits me. I also have not purchased any hair appliance apart from a blow dryer, so that means no curling irons of varying sizes, no hair straighteners (for the smooth and shiny benefits), no nothing. I also don't own any hair care products aside from a giant and budget bottle of hair spray and that was only to keep my hair in a freakin' ponytail for the entire duration of a soccer practice.

Look at me getting minimalist. Granted, I still need to spend less on movies and decorations for my flat, but I also haven't bought any clothes or shoes in months either. Little Annika is growing up. Baby steps. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to buy a twenty dollar bottle of wine.
