Stuff I want...
So there's a lot of stuff I want. If I had more money, I would want to buy mostly stuff like going to the dermatologist and saving toward school costs, but also want to buy stuff.
Tiffins. Either a cheaper set, or this one with the carrying case. I eat a lot of take out and a lot of dinners out in my house. Even if I move out, I know I'll always be taking half my dinners out home to stretch them over. I really hate all the garbage that comes with it. It's not even an environmental thing, I just hate how much room it takes up in the small bin we have. So I want this. I've wanted it for at least a year, so I think it's safe to say it's not an impulse buy.
Parasol. I am a pale pale person. I do wear sunscreen, but there's something about applying more gunk on me all that time that irks me. I have tried to cut down on the topical treatments the past two years-pretty much since graduation. I stopped shampooing everyday while unemployed. I use lotions with fewer ingredients and try to avoid the ones I only understand from chemistry class. When I need the heavy duty stuff, I use it only where it's needed. I would love to cut it out completely, but that's just not part of my reality (althought I did manage to get by most of October without it, and I plan on cutting it out if possible in late April, May..) I very rarely use makeup at all now, and only use antiperspirant for special occasions (if I've been really stinky lately, this is why.... and if you've notice, let me know--I was hoping the deodorant/dabbing the different oils worked okay) . I know that if I'm at the beach or gonna be in a car for a long time, etc....I have to suck it up and apply sunblock. But I'm trying to use less sunscreen (plus, its so friggin expensive!), am looking into making my own one day, and more shade. I started to not give a s*it that the one I use a lot now makes me look like a ghost. My motto's always been to try get as much sun as possible, and as few rays. In other words, being out in the sun is good for you, but not the skin. I spend a lot of time walking, where sunscreen might not be needed, but some shade will make a big difference. Mostly for spring in fall, when the uv is low, but still there. I'm also more often than not NOT so embarrassed to be so white, and otherwise trying to get a better body image going. And yes, I will be mocked relentlessly for using a parasol. And still probably commented on for being so fair skinned. But maybe in two years it will be trendy and I will have rocked it first.
In the future, I would like to get some sort of cosmetics. Even though I have a bunch of makeup that I bought on impulse, it's mostly eyeshadow and mascara. Even though I rarely wear it, if I ever get a 'real job' it would be nice to have for when I need to not look like such a trainwreck of a woman. But I want the fancy kind. I want one that works with my rosacea and eczema. I also want to get a new shoe wardrobe. I hate shoe shopping. I feel like it's such a big purchase, and so I just get something cheap. I really want a spring shoe that is casual but not like a sneaker, but also really good on the feet.
