Man, Being A Girl Really Is So Expensive

What girls really spend their money on.

Man, Being A Girl Really Is So Expensive

Everyone knows that having daughters is inevitably more expensive than having sons. There are many reasons as to why this is true, and here are some of them:

1. Getting manicure/pedicures

Not many girls I know can resist going to the nail salon about every week or so and getting a manicure/pedicure! Being pampered is one of the best feelings, and getting your hands and feet massaged is nothing short of a luxury!

2. Getting your eyebrows constantly waxed or threaded

I know that saying your eyebrows are "on fleek" is a trend, but most girls would be lying if they didn't actually love having their eyebrows look amazing. It may be painful and a frequent expense, but it is definitely worth it.

3. Going-out clothes


Growing a collection of going-out clothes is inevitable. It starts with bar/bat mitzvahs and sweet sixteens, but only continues to worsen once you go through high school and into college! We will do anything to not have to repeat an outfit.

4. Shopping at Victoria's Secret

Walking past Victoria's Secret in the mall without going inside is one of the hardest things to do. Especially if they're having their 5 for $25 deal! Going through the bright colored, pretty assortments of bras and underwear is definitely hard to resist.

5. Trips to Sephora

Stepping foot inside Sephora is a very dangerous thing. Especially because of how amazing it smells when you walk inside, you just can't leave! I always find myself walking into Sephora with no makeup on, and walking out with a full face on and a lot less money in my wallet.

6. Hair treatments (Keratin, Brazilian, Japanese)


Most girls want what they can't have, which in many cases is pin-straight or tamed hair! It's almost a miracle that these hair treatments exist! Waking up and not having to flat iron your hair for it to look good is one of the best feelings.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
