Stress induced spending...
I'm not talking about shopping sprees. I'm referring to the items that I've had to purchase because my body is freaking out on me!
My skin has been extremely erradic. I've spent money on products for acne because I'm breaking out. I've also started to get little dry patches on my body and face, so I've been using more moisturizers. My skin has also been extremely irritable. I need to purchase some sort of calming product (any recommendations?).
I've also been too busy to go to the grocery store, so I had my groceries delivered (cost $35). I also ate at Wendy's last night because it took less than 5 minutes on my drive home (cost $3).
However, the amount of money that I've saved by not having a life has been insane! I have sold 2 football tickets (total income $60). I also am not going to the game this weekend, which is out of town ($50 for ticket + $100 for hotel + ? food/drinks). I also haven't been able to get additional drinks with friends ($20 for the last few weekends).

Isn't it great when you're too busy to even spend money?
That sucks about your skin. Mine is so weird.. it will be perfect for like 6 months and then all of a sudden I have breakouts like crazy and have to go buy special creams and gels to try and stop them. Blah.
I hope you're having a good time with the boyfriend! I really like the Aveeno Skin Calming moisturizer. I have tried tons of different face washes over the years, but in the end I always end up going back to the dove beauty bar. Everything else seems to break me out for some reason.
I make those kinds of purchases when I'm stressed too, like eating at Wendy's since it's fast and easy. But I love saving money, like you were saying, when I'm too busy to go hang out with friends. Even though I know I'm missing out.
Are you using foundation at all? I used ot have REALLY sensitive skin that would also break out all the time. I spent a ton of money on different products, but nothing helped. I even tried ProActive Solution and that didn't help me either.. then I switched my makeup. I am now using Mineral Makeup (Bare Essencuals) and my skin is 100% better. I now rarely break out. I would recommend that you go to Sephora or Ulta and have them apply it to your face, so you can see if you like it or not... even if you decide to buy it and end up not liking it, it comes with the money back guarantee.. you can return it at any time. Good luck :))
