Wants & Needs

The concept of wants and needs has always been a hard one for me. I feel like I NEED everything but when I stop to think I realize It's probably just a want. When I was single and making the cash I didn't feel bad at all when I would blow all my paycheck on clothes. I had a horrible jean obsession (14 pairs). Which looking back on it now, why couldn't it have been a shoe obsession because can I fit into all those jeans now? NOPE. Now that I am married and it's our money instead of money it's really hard to justify spending money on things I actually really need. I have never been a huge shopper. Don't get me wrong I love buying things but I don't like to be shopping for hours on end. I get in, get what I want and then leave. It's even harder for me to spend money on myself now that I have Trent. It's so much easier for me to justify buying him clothes especially when his clothes are a ton cheaper than anything I would buy. You would think with Mother's Day right around the corner my problem would be solved. I can buy myself something and not feel guilty! Nope..I want/need so many different things. Like this makeup:

The makeup directly above is from the Copper Bee store available on Etsy.com. http://www.etsy.com/shop/CopperBeeCosmetics. Go check it out! They have FANTASTIC makeup and my friend is the one who makes it and they are super affordable. I want like everything she sells.


 I haven't bought myself new shoes in like 2 years and I REALLY want these.

My hair has been going brown (not hatin against the brown haired folk) but I want it to be really blonde again. My hair use to be soo blonde and it's fading. It makes me sad. I also really need a haircut. That is straight up a need. 



You see my problem? All of these things are not cheap and I really need/want them. The one good thing is my birthday is coming up in August along with my anniversary so hopefully I will be able to get some of these things. Let's just hope I don't spend it all on Trent though!
