The High Price of Gas and Moisturizer

My mom can tell you where the cheapest gas is anytime, anyplace.  No joke. Taking a road trip - ask my mom which exit to take to find the cheapest gas because she will know. My mom has been known to drive 30 mins out of the way just to get gas for 2 cents cheaper. Somehow her innate ability was not passed down genetically to me. I rarely know the current price of gas, but what I do know is that it's at an all time high and I dread going to the gas station. The worst part is I almost always go to the gas station after a day of shopping, which causes immediate buyers remosre on the cute, awesome find that I just purchased.  I leave the mall feeling good, "Yay! I found 2 shirts and a pair of shoes and I only spent $45, what a great day!"  Then I stop to fill-up, "$65!!" Well, I guess I didn't really need that second shirt, even though it made me look like I had a perfect body, it's gotta go back. Argh!

On the same note, the price of moisturizer seems to be at an all time high too. I recently bought a moisturizer that cost $74 (I plead temporary insanity). This moisturizer did nada except make me break out in weird red patches and I don't even have sensitive skin. Thankfully, Sephora is amazing and let me return it even though I didn't have a receipt and I had already used half of it. Yay for Sephora! I ended up replacing it with Bobbi Brown's Hydrating Face Cream. I had used it in the past, but felt disappointed when it didn't make me look like Heidi Klum and like all moisturizers it was hard to drop the dollars on it. However, it's light, doesn't clog my pores and after realizing more expensive creams don't make you look like Heidi either, I've decided it's worth the money. So just like the gas at the pump, I'll keep on buying it.

Check it out at sephora now, but don't buy gas afterwards or you might end up returning it!
