I believe that good looks shouldn't cost a fortune or a trip to a specialty store at the mall but I have to admit that I don't care much for shopping. I research online, read the comments and find out where my chosen products are available before leaving the house. I'll try an inexpensive brand first as long as it's ingredients are touted by the scientific community and its results are given a thumbs up by other users. Let's be honest with ourselves: What works for some won't work for all. I'll try just about anything once unless it costs as much as a car payment.
Most of the products I use can be purchased at Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Target or any pharmacy. It's not my intention to sound cheap or give the impression that I'm not worth it: I am worth the extra effort and the money, but that money is earmarked for more than just my vanity.
Good health? The Farmer's Market isn't off the beaten path for me and most grocery stores these days carry organic produce. Organic? Doesn't that cost more? Sure it does but cancer, high blood pressure, high cholesterol (the bad stuff) and cardiac issues cost a whole lot more. In short, I'm taking a holistic approach to my health and beauty. What I can't get from organic fruits, vegetables and whole grains (or detest the flavor of) I ingest via vitamins and supplements.
By the way, please know that I'm not compensated for my opinions: If I endorse a brand name or a product, it's because I speak from first-hand experience.
