Haha, this list mostly consists of my girly things. Because girly things aren't cheap and need to be repurchased often.

1. Razors (or, specifically, razorheads). WHY SO EXPENSIVE?
2. Contacts. I never feel I've made a good purchase when I buy them.
3. My face cleanser, purely because it's always some production every time I run out on whether or not I should just go ahead and try a new one and see if I like it better. Spoiler: I always just repurchase my previous.
4. Nail polish remover. Mostly because the one I use is actually pretty expensive and I refuse to use another since it's the only one that doesn't leave my hands tasting toxic for the 24 hours following use.
*5. My perfume. It's damn expensive and I run out a lot.
6. Feminine hygiene products. Awkward when you know the person at the check-out counter.
7. Tissues. Seriously, I don't know where they all get to but I use up practically a box a week.
8. Earphones for my iPhone. Apple, get your shit together and make these sturdier so that I don't have to replace them every few months, THANKS.
9. Notebooks. There's just something about jotting down your thoughts and listing things on paper that doesn't translate to laptops. Downside is unless it's a super ~fancy notebook, I end up ripping pages out for little things and next thing I know, everything is falling apart and/or there's no more space left. So they're messy and pile up on me since I refuse to get rid of them/transcribe them to my computer.

And most of all,

10. Socks. I'm somehow always losing socks and I repurchase them with startling frequency. I'm not kidding when I tell people that socks are always a well-received gift with me.

*As an addition to 5: my mom's perfume. If I didn't repurchase her favourite perfume for her, she would go without or wait months before buying it again because she doesn't like to waste money on herself.

You guys crack me up.

Veri, I know your birthday's coming up soon. Is there a list you'd like to see? (List 10 dresses you'd buy for verizonhorizon if you had unlimited money :D)

I WOULD ROCK A 10 PURPLE LIST.
It's my favorite color too and it's freaking everywhere in my room XD
