We all have been listening to the news, talk shows, reading articles and talking to friends and relatives about the economy. We all know that the U.S. is just not doing too well, overall, and in one way or another, we are all affected by this. This could be through our own personal experiences or in the quality in the things we purchase. I know had an experience at the deli counter just today where the person behind the meat counter used four zip bags trying to zip of the sliced ham I was purchasing just because the plastic and the zipper were so cheap that he couldn’t get the bag to zip up. Believe it or not, that is an indicator (cheaper plastic bags) of the times we are living in and I do know that it will be a bit longer before we will see any relief.

That being said, I think I speak for many women in the Dallas metropolis, when I say that no matter how hard times are, that I will continue to go to work, school, church, on vacation, etc. looking somewhat presentable in public. That means that while I may be cutting back in some ways, like maybe not wearing makeup on the weekends around the house,  there will have to be overwhelming circumstances for me to give up my beauty products – without a fight. We Dallas women take our beauty rituals seriously and as we are home to many cosmetic and hair product companies, i.e. Mary Kay, we know that we will continue our path of acquiring beauty products by any means necessary.
How we have chosen to accommodate this slump in the economy, is by being resourceful. We are becoming savvier, overly-conscientious, read more labels and take advantage of various sales, discounts, coupons and making more bulk purchases than we ever have in the past.
