There’s no feeling like being broke during the holidays! It’s almost as if the pressure is on to get gifts for those special people in your life, meaningful and sentimental gifts. During this time of the year, I’m tough on myself. My bank account is always low after paying bills, buying groceries, getting essentials for my family, and now that I am a mom buying for my son. I get anxious walking into the mall, Wal-Mart, and even Target when I know that I hardly have money to my name.
During this time of year, there are always folks saying to don’t forget to check on your strong friend(s.) It is true and it is best to check on them! I always labeled myself as that strong friend. When the holiday season approaches my inner strength increases. It’s like I go into an overcharge of raging emotions.
As we all are aware, Christmas is right around the corner. It’s time to get a head start on budgeting and creating some great affordable gift giving ideas. I believe that a great gift for her can be skincare essentials! Bring a glow to her smile and skin with these 5 great skin care gifts for under $50.00. No bank breaking involved with this list!
