So I know, I know, I’m the WORST! Three months and no post–I’m really not doing too hot at this blogging thing :(. I read a piece in the fashion blog Racked today that I decided need to be discussed.

The piece looks at what seven women spend on their beauty routines for a first date. I highly suggest you read the article, however do so after you’re done reading this. The women in this piece spend on average over 100 dollars to get to what they considered presentable for their date.

While I’m not a slob, and I do enjoy a good makeover and/or manicure, #icant with this. It’s a FIRST FREAKING date people!!! You should obviously want to make a good first impression, but I care more about job interviews and I haven’t even spent that much trying to make a good first impression for those!

The was only one girl I related to on this, the woman who runs through Sephora for a free perfume spritz and MAYBE spends 99 cents on a lipstick to freshen up her look. These are the types of people we should model ourselves after, not after the women who get blowouts, manicures, full-body waxings, and more just for a first date.

This post comes around just as I am about to head out on another first date this evening, so I better go so I can go and get a spray tan, haircut, makeover and more.
