Women know how expensive cosmetics can be.
Even the basic drugstore brands can cost anywhere from $3.00 on up per item. If you buy department store brands, you can easily drop twenty dollars or more on just one item. Given that most women use several items (lipstick, eye shadow, eye liner, foundation, blush, mascara, and on and on), it can be a big part of a budget. It’s painful, but it’s the price for beauty. Until recently, the only choice to save big time on makeup was to go without or use very limited makeup.
Now you can have makeup permanently inked onto your skin in a procedure similar to tattooing. You

While some people view Valentine’s Day as a day that focuses on love and romance, others may view Valentine’s as nothing more than a time to make money by companies trying to cash in on ‘yet another holiday’. Regardless of what your personal views about Valentine’s are, it does seem that a ’successful’ Valentine’s does seem to correlate with the amount of money spent.

How would you like to be able to give your child or grandchild £1.8m for their retirement? Well, with a little financial planning, you can.
Mention pensions and many people think immediately of old age. But in fact you can start saving for your retirement from the day you are born. About 60,000 children have pensions, according to HM Revenue & Customs, and the number is increasing as more families who can afford to lock up their money for 50 years or more take advantage of the tax breaks.

Another topic I’ve been interested in is the 100 Thing Challenge started by Dave Bruno. If you read a lot of simplicity blogs you’ve probably already heard of it, but it’s a pretty simple idea: Live with only 100 personal possessions.
