Which would you rather? 👀
Joan Rivers once said (albeit in the name of humour) - it’s better for a new face to get out of an old car than an old face to get out of a new one.
Classic Joan - outrageous, funny, tongue in cheek and just sharp enough to sting a little.
Truth is, there really are two kinds of people:
those who’d rather spend on the look, and those who’d rather spend on the self.
I love a new bag or pair of shoes as much as anyone - they’re gorgeous, indulgent, and for a moment they make you feel unstoppable. But they only work while you’re wearing them.
Your face? That’s the one investment you can’t take off.
Even if you wake up at 3 a.m. and catch your reflection, still looking fresh - that’s a confidence you carry every minute of every day.
(But between us, if I had a budget and have to pick something to spend it on in all honesty, my favourite thing to spend my money on is - memories, travels and trips with my kids. They might not give me confidence in the same way, but I know that those memories will keep me warm for the rest of my life in a way that nothing I have tangibly gained will. )
So tell me honestly…
👜 The bag?
🚗 The car?
✈️
💉 Or the face that makes everything else look better?
