Transcript

I don't spend money on unless I have to, and that's how I maintain a stable bank account. I just did my nails. There was a time in my life where I did spend money on useless things. So now I have things that I spent money on, but I don't buy anything else. This is a pack of press on nails. I got this from Amazon like five years ago. I am a girl that has a nail tech. I got my nails done for my birthday and the set lasted a month. And then they started bothering me, so I took them off. I am not trying to spend. So I just put these press on nails. But I do have a serving shift, so they can't be this long. For work. I use the Beauty Secrets nail glue and I'm sure you guys have heard about this. This is like the only nail glue I use because if I'm not spending money and I'm not wanting to get my nails done, then I do press ons. And I also have the extravagance stuff as well, like a nail drill, gel X files, gems, all that stuff. But that's like when I have a lot of time. Right now I'm just trying to get like my nails to look normal. And I also have this thing that cuts my nails and like just the right shape. Just because I can't have them this long for work. And I'm scared they'll scratch somebody. And something crazy. I just literally cut it that short. And there you have it. Nails are done and short and I'm ready to serve. And I didn't spend $65. Love you guys. Stay frugal.
