"I try to extend the life of a pedicure as long as humanly possible. Once the polish starts cracking and chipping, I'll just slather another layer of polish over, sometimes in a different color if I don't own the original. I rationalize this habit by reminding myself that my toenails are far enough away that no one will notice. And I'll make it to the nail salon ... eventually."

"I shave my legs without shaving cream, soap, anything. Just me, my razor, and water. I always have little nicks and cuts, and my legs are parched. Maybe that's why I use so much cocoa butter?"

"I pick at my nails. I can't keep polish on my nails for more than 24 hours without picking, peeling, and chipping off paint. It's a nervous habit I'm trying to break."

"I've been rolling around with a busted Nars blush in my makeup bag for about four months now. The lid is broken and the blush is shattered. My makeup bag and now several purses are covered with blush dust. But will I chuck it and just buy a new one? Noooooo. I'm too 'thrifty.' I started wrapping it in toilet paper recently so less of it would leak out of the compact."
