this sparkly pen oh

welcome back to my channel

boring professor but i am still going to
play a teacher and today i'm going to
show you all my best tips and tricks
for living life on a budget because if
there's one thing that i know how to do
it's how to be broke and bougie so here

the official master class how to slay
life
on a budget
[Music]
numero uno coupons are your best friend
coupons for whatever you want are
literally everywhere google it if
there's something specific you want
type it in see if there's a coupon i
guarantee you there is
cheap clothes can be great clothes it's
all about how you style them
i actually owe my entire channel to how
to make cheap clothes look expensive but
you guys
seriously everything i said in this
video five months ago still reigns true
today
lux fabrics clothes that fit well
designer dupes are all things to make
you look bougie on a budget
and an exciting news one of my favorite
online shops boohoo.com agreed to team
up with me and sponsor this video
so here's a quick little fashion show to
show you what i'm talking about
in general designer inspired clothes on
a budget slay the game like this chanel
looking bodysuit so cute
20 bucks this adorable little gucci
inspired black and gold set
so cheap i look like a million bucks for
10 bucks
sparkly kylie jenner-esque jeans again
20 dollars
so lay the game in some adorable workout
attire so cute look at this little
tennis set i am
ready to go to the polo matches and
whatever the heck else i'm feeling like
doing which is probably nothing go in
the grocery store but still
not hard to slay when you follow the
instagram trends throw on some sequiny
shoes because sequins always make you
look fabulous
and there you have it you are slaying
you can also slay the office game on a
budget my version of professional attire
and some white shorts and a pink
sequined blazer
accessories like this little black and
gold clutch is a great way to slay
all the time yes since i know you guys
are going to ask everything that i was
wearing
is linked in the video description below
and if you want to grab any of it to
twin with me
i have a coupon code for you so 30 off
the entire website
using this little discount code right
there and finally
there's a quick little giveaway linked
down in there too to in a 500 summer
wardrobe
courtesy of boohoo so there you go good
luck
now back to the video by the generic
version instead of the brand name
you're getting the same product for a
much lower price
like when you're in the grocery store
and you're starving to death and there's
wheaties right there for five bucks but
there's also bran flakes right next to
it for two dollars
get those instead if you check the
ingredients you'll notice they're
actually exactly the same
learn to diy if you see something you
want but can't afford it
make it yourself if you spy something
beautiful that you love figure out a way
to do it yourself
there's almost always a video on youtube
about how to do whatever it is that you
might want to do
for cheap easy and just as fabulous as
the real
thing find the digital revolution shop
online
literally everything you want is online
much cheaper than in stores
seriously though online shopping has
everything you ever wanted not to
mention it's more unique than the stuff
that you get in stores so you can be
your own form of fashionista
like look at this 30 bucks are you
kidding you would never find that
anywhere else
not to mention when you order stuff
online it's like christmas when it comes
so fun check out local happy hours
instead of going to dinner at 7 00 pm
try going at five you'd be amazed you
can get things for like half off
check your imaginary watch when it hits
happy hour go to dinner early it's also
a little awkward to film when you're not
actually eating anything and no one's
talking to you but who cares i'm getting
all the tasty treats that i want all
for a very cheap price buy your everyday
random products that you need at the
dollar store
they're the same and they're only a buck
the 99 cent store is a game changer holy
oh my goodness you can find
anything you want in here you can get
batteries cotton swabs tupperware pens
pencils gift wrap
whatever it is that you might need on an
everyday basis all for 99 cents
find some budget saving apps they're
going to literally change your life
my two personal favs that i use all the
time gas buddy shows you the cheapest
gas near you and retailmenot which shows
you coupons for stores that you are near
shout out to whoever made those apps
i owe you one forget about department
stores check out the discount stores
ross marshalls tj maxx
all your favorite brands are sitting in
the discount shops just waiting for you
to find them
we all know i love me a good discount
store seriously all the brand name
things that you like are hiding in these
stores for half the price of what you
would get anywhere else and they'll even
show you on the tag how much you're
saving like look at this hairspray
usually 20 only 10.99
stores like this just make my heart
flutter all right anyways
if you see something on sale buy it in
bulk for example these protein shakes
that i was talking about in my get ready
with me video i
love them they were on sale the other
day so i literally ordered a bajillion
of them
if it's something you know you're gonna
order again you might as well get them
when they're cheapest
cheers to that don't forget you're a
queen you're a star just because you
don't have a million bucks
doesn't mean like you can't feel like it
looking like a million bucks is easy
girlfriend do your hair
do your makeup feel fabulous like the
queen that you are just like with
anything else if you're rocking million
dollar confidence
you're gonna feel like a million bucks
another great tip
if there's something you really want buy
it used like seriously half the stuff
that i own is used amazon or ebay are
great places to check for used items
because they're usually in nearly mint
condition
for less than a quarter of the original
price who cares if someone's read this
book before
i've got a chanel book now for ten
dollars
or don't buy it at all literally the
library is so cool i recently discovered
we had a library it's
amazing you can literally get books and
movies all
for free you can walk out of there with
a million books for free
so fun to keep yourself motivated don't
forget to treat yourself every once in a
while
if there's something you've been eyeing
for a long time girl save
up and go get it re-prioritize your
spending if you go to starbucks and
spend five bucks on a coffee every day
but there's a pair of earrings that you
really really want
take the week off of starbucks and eat
at home use all the money that you saved
that you would have usually been
spending on your coffee to put towards
the splurge item
there's something you still really want
get an extra side job to pick up some
extra cash
walk the neighbor's dogs i don't have a
dog so i'm gonna pretend this stuffed
animal is a dog
try babysitting too and again i'm gonna
pretend this is a child because i don't
have any kids to be in this video on
such short notice so
anyways point is get an extra side job
nothing like having a little extra cash
for a little extra spending
tip number whatever we're on you would
be amazed at how many fun things there
are to do in your city that cost
literally no money the outdoors is free
you can go anywhere i love walking
around rodeo drive because it makes me
feel bougie as hell even though i'm not
buying anything but it's so fun how
beautiful
not to mention you stay inspired looking
at all the diamonds wow
ghouls prancing around outside is free
unless of course you decide to stop for
ice cream like i did in which case your
total tab comes to three
if you're lucky enough to be a student
always sign up for the student discounts
from movie theaters to restaurants to
online shops it's always worth a shot to
test your student discount
for some reason mine doesn't expire
until 2018 even though i graduated three
years ago
shh don't tell anyone all that stuff you
have that you never wear
sell it to buy some new stuff you'd be
amazed at how much people will pay for
your old things
like they always say one man's trash is
another man's treasure not to mention
you'll have new cash to buy what you
want to buy
did you fall in love with a designer
item and you just can't afford to foot
the bill
find a dupe nothing is worse than
falling in love with something that
costs more than your rent for a year
so google it watch some videos i
guarantee you there's a dupe of whatever
it is you want
online by stealing the designer fashions
you can look just as good as the runway
for 20 bucks another great tip pay
attention to stores social media
stores are always posting all the info
further sales so if you pay attention to
store social media you'll always know
where to get the latest deals
or even bloggers and youtubers like me
youtubers and bloggers are always
posting dupes to all sorts of fun things
plus they always have oodles of discount
codes that are good all year round for
just about anything you ever wanted
when it comes to doing bougie things on
a budget having friends
is your best friend that didn't make a
lot of sense but let me explain
forget a limo get picked up in a bentley
when you're splitting it with 10 people
everything's gonna be cheaper
side note the fact that i decided i
wanted to film a luxury vehicle for this
part and only had to walk two feet
before i ran into a bentley
huh that's a lie for you by the way i do
have friends
you guys never believe me when i say
have friends because i'm always alone
but i have friends
this is my roommate selena hi this is
her boyfriend kai
anyway point is split things with your
friends it makes everything
much cheaper goodbye you guys
bye guys if you're really pressed for
cash
get the half size of things or even just
use samples
i know it's not necessarily actually
economically sound because you're really
getting less for what you're paying for
but if you really can't afford it but
you still want the same thing i am all
for buying the half size also hello
samples i haven't bought an eyeshadow
primer in months because i've just been
using this for sample from sephora
i want the bougie experience of a spa
without footing the bill
instead of paying like 300 bucks for a
massage just get a day pass you can get
them on groupon for like 20 bucks and
budding but
you may not be getting a massage but you
can still hang out in the saunas you can
hang out in the hot tub it's super fun
great girls day you can see on my
snapchat me and my friends literally do
this all the time because only like 16
to go in for the day super fun and you
feel just as relaxed and cleansed as if
you paid the big bucks
no matter what you're doing always get
the most bang for your buck for example
sephora gives you a free makeover if you
buy 50 or more products so if you're
gonna be doing that anyway
get the free makeover too you might as
well get the most bang for your buck
same thing when it comes to beauty
treatments if you can do it at home
do it at home do your own nails dye your
own hair
super easy and you save the cost of all
the salon treatments
fake it till you make it my friends
instead of a crystal chandelier get an
acrylic chandelier instead of real
flowers get a fake flower it's all half
the price with the same look
and that my friends is what it means to
slay on a budget
ps you guys before i sign off don't
forget the biggest and most important
tip of all
work hard play harder don't give up
you're not going to be on a budget
forever someday we'll all be living in
castles and palaces
living our dream life so keep a mood
board remind yourself of your goals
there are lots of sparkly things waiting
to be purchased so keep
at it you guys we'll all get there
