Doing this <| sep |> You ' re implying it categorically doesn ' t ? Especially in reference to a work of fiction ? You ' re making so little sense . <| sep |> I think it ' s a really great gift but don ' t expect a 14 year old to be super excited about it . <| sep |> Thanksgiving went off without a hitch , as in no frothingatthemouth arguments about politics . Of course , I don ' t associate with the side of my family that would be rabid about their political leanings , so dinner was peaceful . Afterwards I finished up the MST 3 K Turkey Day Marathon and waited with bated breath for the ABH sale to go live . Speaking of which , I was good regarding Black Friday sales , spending way less than originally planned . I didn ' t originally plan on the Zoya sale , but figured picking up supplies and a few colors to do my nails myself would cost less than a single nail appointment at Ulta and definitely less than continued appointments . As for the ABH sale , despite the website crashing repeatedly I managed to get in my order with all the eyeshadows I wanted . For both sales I ONLY bought colors I knew I would wear often and thus use up . Unless Ulta does something for Cyber Monday that blows everything out of the water I think I ' m done for quite some time . I feel like I ' m at a saturation point with my stash . To use a Thanksgiving example , it ' s like being offered a slice of your favorite pie pumpkin ! that ' s only slightly different in flavor after you ' ve already had quite a few pieces . Just . no more . I ' m only wanting an Ulta sale because full sizes of the red shampoo and conditioner I need for my nowburgundy hair is hella expensive . Even the upcoming $ 25 off $ 50 Rouge discount isn ' t inciting anything beyond a solid meh . THIS is an AMAZING turning point for my collection and spending habits as this means I ' ve FINALLY overcome FOMO and the need to spend just because there ' s a sale . I ' m taking a friend just getting into makeup to Sephora next Sunday for a makeover . If she likes any products , I think I ' ll surprise her by buying them for her and use the coupon then .
