Disclaimer!
This is a warning that I spend money. Don't be offended. Don't get upset. Don't comment and talk about what a horrible human being I am because I am telling you up front. I am not trying to brag about anything, I'm just showing you what I got because maybe you would like to get it too. I guess I should also address common misconceptions that people have about fashion bloggers/vloggers/etc and my response to them.
1. You spend so much money on pointless stuff!
False. I need clothes so that I'm not naked. Also, I rarely buy clothes anyways and when I do, it's usually on sale. The reason most people assume this is because whenever I do a haul, I show everything that I've bought over a period of a time, so it can seem a lot. To be honest, I probably spend the highest percent of my money on food.
2. It's not fair. You don't even do anything!
False. I'm in a top 20 university on the pre-med track majoring in biology and minoring in global health. I plan on going to med school and becoming a surgeon. When I'm not studying or in school, I volunteer and shadow. My life ISN'T fashion, but it is a big part of who I am.
3. Do you even have a job? You get all of your money from your parents!
Well, true. I don't have a job, but I'm getting my first job when I start back in the fall. I plan on either doing research in a lab or working at the hospital. My family never really had a need for me to get a job in high school, so I didn't. I also had (and still have) a pretty busy schedule, so it was (and still is) hard to manage everything, but I feel like I'm at a good age to start getting experience with working.
4. Your parents are rich!
False, but I won't say my parents are poor. My parents would probably be a little above middle class. My parents do nails, so they only make so much. The good thing is that they make enough to support themselves and me.
5. You're only trying to be famous!
False, not that I wouldn't enjoy being famous. Unlike most people, I don't plan on entering the fashion world so I really have no need to try to be famous in it. I just like it and I like sharing my opinions to others. So, have no fear, I will not be coming out with a fashion line, makeup line, perfume line, etc... anytime soon.
Those are the most common misconceptions that people have and I just wanted to clear that up. If you don't like that I spend money on things or if it makes you feel bad, then don't read those posts. I'm not trying to hate on anyone, but I don't like it when people make assumptions. I understand that the struggle is real for some people and that they might not exactly agree with the things I do and I understand, but don't knock me for that. So yeah, just wanted to post this so I can refer it to people when they comment about any of those things.
