Adrien: Summer Budget, June.

My May budget post is here, and because of a slight overage in May, I set my June budget at $146.68. Or, since I'm bad at math, $147.00 because who cares about the change. NOT ME. (For the sake of my sanity, I'm going to round my prices up or down to whole amounts from here on out. Money is boring.)

So, what did I buy in June? You know most of it. (For the sake of transparency I feel I should mention that I returned the Anthro stuff I bought last week. I decided I didn't love either item enough to break my budget over.) Here you go:

Old Navy dress: $23.00.

Birchbox: $10.00:

Yep, I signed back up with Birchbox because I missed the fleeting joy of getting a cute box full of odd beauty samples. Small pleasures! My first box was a pretty decent one too. (If you're tempted, my referral link is thus.)

Pedicure: $28.00

Pretty standard stuff. I go to the cheap place in a strip mall because they do a great job and I love the invasively painful massage chairs.

NYX Butter Lipgloss x 2: $7.00:

Essie polish in Style Hunter: $9.00:

Physicians Formula eyeliner $10.00:

My review here.

Athleta breeze shorts $15.00:

I bought these to have a comfortable, sporty pair of shorts to wear after a bike ride or over a swimsuit. Or hiking or whatever. I love the fit but the color leaves a little something to be desired. Suitably army-greenish or reminiscent of baby poop? Help me, people.

Budget spent: $102
Budget remaining: $45

Normally I'd be all self-congratulatory and back-patting over this INCREDIBLE show of shopping restraint but I think we can all agree that June was a completely awful month and I just wasn't in the mood for shopping. Now we're into July and I have a budget of $195 and that feels kind of decadent. Like, Cle de Peau level decadent. We'll see what happens.
