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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
