Target Just Dropped an Affordable New Skincare Line—Here’s What to Try ASAP

The 2019 skincare game is an altogether different beast. Gone are the days of unknowingly smearing products full of unknown, unhealthy ingredients onto our faces — labels have gotten clearer, products have gotten more potent, and we’re more informed of what we’re putting on our face than ever before.

The downside to kick-ass skincare is that more often than not, it comes with a price tag that can equal half your paycheck (and makes us dread the day we use that sacred last drop and have to make a repurchase). But brands are catching on quickly, and more and more affordable products that deliver results are popping up — this time on the shelves of Target (we really don’t deserve them, do we?)

Target’s latest skincare drop, Versed, took more than 11 years to create — and all of the products are under $20. The product packaging includes a set of icons to help you pinpoint the right products for your skin concerns (aging, dull, etc) and information about how to use the product, when to use it, and why it’s important. Their products are also upheld by Europe’s standard of clean beauty, which prohibits over 1,350 chemicals from products — compared to the United States’ prohibited list of 11.

Their debut dropped 19 products — from cleansers to eye creams to vitamin-C serums (which has already brightened my skin in a matter of days) — all of which are free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, added colors, and fragrances. The best part? They’re all vegan and cruelty-free. Move over $75 serum, there’s a new sheriff in town (and she’s going to look stunning in your medicine cabinet).

How to Save Money While Living in the City

Over the last few months, I’ve received a bunch of emails about what I do to save money while living in the city. Life is expensive, and urban life is especially pricey. As someone who has lived in both Chicago and New York, I will say that saving in New York City was significantly more difficult—it required a lot more self-discipline and sacrifice. Restaurant bills and bar tabs were ridiculous, and rent was absurd. At one point, my husband and I paid $2,650 for a very small one-bedroom illegal sublet in the East Village, really far from the subway. And believe it or not, that was a deal. One-bedroom apartments in the neighborhood were going for $3,200 (and higher!) at the time.

Chicago is much more affordable (in comparison), making saving a bit easier, but creating a budget and sticking to it is easier said than done. So today, I’m sharing some tips and tricks on how my husband and I have saved—and continue to save—while living in the Windy City.

 

Make a budget.

What’s worked best for me is figuring out what I typically spend my money on, and then deciding how much I’m actually OK with spending on those items. I also give myself the freedom to move around—and roll over—funds. If, for example, I know there are several dinners I’d like to attend with friends in the month of November, I might move my ‘clothing’ or ‘home decor/furnishings’ funds to the ‘restaurant’ category, and forgo those accent pillows or pair of boots I’ve been eyeing. Or if I’d like to buy a new couch, I might roll over my ‘home decor/furnishing’ funds for several months in order to save up for it.

Before I started budgeting, I operated on “feelings” only: I feel like I’ve gone out to dinner too many times this month. I feel like I spent too much money on clothing this month. I feel like I shouldn’t have gone on that weekend getaway. Now, though, I know exactly how much I’m spending on each category. And it feels great. I use USAA’s app to budget, but there are lots of other amazing resources to track spending and keep your habits in line with your goals.

 

 

Walk and participate in free activities.

My husband Mitch and I spend a great deal of time walking around the city. It helps us get out, get exercise, meet new people, and get to know our city better. Walking doesn’t cost anything, and it gives us time to really talk. Some of our best conversations have occurred during our strolls around the city! We also keep a list of our favorite free activities and stay on top of upcoming free events, adding them to our shared Google Calendar so we don’t forget. (Thrillist has a really great list of free things to do in New York and in Chicago, and TimeOut keeps a list of daily activities in New York, Chicago and other cities. But seriously: Just Google it!) We’ve found that when we have a calendar full of free activities, we’re far less likely to go out to eat or run up expensive bar tabs.

My best advice would be to eat before you go (or bring food along), map out where you’re going before leaving, try to hit up new spots as often as possible, and attend as many street fairs as you can.

 

Picnic in the city’s most beautiful public spaces.

Some of my favorite—and cheapest—experiences in New York and Chicago have been sitting on blankets in the grass, taking it all in. My favorite spots to picnic in New York are Battery Park, Abingdon Square Park in the West Village, Sheep Meadow in Central Park (obviously), Pier 63 in Chelsea, Washington Square Park, Madison Square Park, and Bryant Park. In Chicago, Mitch and I frequent Trebes Park, Lincoln Park (the actual park), Belmont Harbor, Montrose Harbor, the Jay Pritzker Pavilion, and Montrose Dog Beach. (And we’re always looking for new suggestions!)

 

Bring coffee with you.

Coffee may seem like a small expense, but it adds up. Get yourself a coffee machine and some to-go cups. Bonus points for being environmentally friendly and carrying a reusable one! Just make sure to bring a plastic bag so you can tuck it into your tote once you’re done.

 

 

Live below your means.

I’ve learned that just because you can swing that nicer apartment in a nicer neighborhood doesn’t necessarily mean you should. I don’t recommend living in a dangerous area or in a complete hole to save money. (Cockroaches and rodents are NOT worth it.) But going a couple hundred dollars below your budget can really pad your savings account. Similarly, just because you have the money to splurge on something doesn’t mean you should. I think it’s important to treat yourself every once in a while, but really take the time to think about those purchases—don’t make them impulsively.

 

And live in a place you can afford.

For a long time, I was spending most of my income on rent, which is the reason I didn’t have a savings account until I was 25. (And even during years 25 and 26, its contents were pretty pathetic.) Looking back, it was reckless. Thankfully, I was never faced with a real emergency, save for the time I went to emergency room for strep throat. But I should have had a safety net, and I should have been contributing some money to a savings account—even if it was only $100 every month.

All of that said, my best advice is to consider your priorities when deciding on an apartment. What’s most important to you? Is it the commute time? The square-footage? The neighborhood? The number of roommates you’ll need to live with? For me, it was always neighborhood, so I made sacrifices in the roommate and square-footage areas.

 

Avoid apartment broker fees.

Thankfully, broker fees really aren’t a thing in Chicago. But in New York, broker fees are astronomical, and often 20 percent of your yearly rent. Instead of going through a broker, Mitch and I used Craigslist, Backpage, and other similar sites to work around the fees. It’s way more work to find a place like this, but it’s way less expensive, too. There are also a handful of no-fee sites out there. Just be careful that the fees aren’t simply hidden in the monthly rent. Know the market! (FYI: Besides Craigslist and Backpage, I used Prince NYC Apartments and Eberhart Brothers to find apartments in NYC.)

 

 

Be prepared to move often until you settle down.

It sucks, but most landlords will hike up the rent as much as they’re legally allowed to every year. Of course, it’s important to take into account how much time a move requires, and how emotionally taxing it can be. And it’s crucial to weigh moving costs against the yearly increase. A $25 hike probably doesn’t necessitate a move, for example, as your move will likely cost more than $300. But a $200 hike means $2,400 more per year. Decisions, decisions.

 

Don’t invest in expensive furniture unless you’ve purchased a home.

Not because it isn’t worth it, but only because you’ll be devastated when it’s damaged during moves…and you’ll likely end up paying a ton in repairs and replacements. I’d suggest using magazines, Pinterest, catalogues, and blogs for inspiration, and then finding similar items from Ikea, Craigslist, thrift shops, Target, Wayfair, and the like.

 

Forgo cable.

Come on. You don’t need it. (And let’s be serious: You’re going to be more productive without it!) Basic channels and the internet are enough. Mitch and I love Apple TV, as it doesn’t require a subscription fee. It allows us to mirror what’s on our iPhones and laptop, and provides us with easy access to movies and television shows.

 

Create a timeline.

Living in Manhattan was extremely important to me when I was in my 20s. I knew that I belonged there from the time I was a young child (I blame my parents) and living there took precedence over, essentially, everything else for a very long time. And I have zero regrets. I was also broke for a long time, but I absolutely loved my time in New York, and I wouldn’t trade those years of my life for anything. However, I made a promise to myself that if I was still struggling financially by the age of 27 that I’d make a major change. So I did: Mitch and I moved across the river right before our 27th birthdays to save money for the future we wanted. (A more significant savings account and a home.) I cried on moving day—despite the fact that our new place was one stop away from Manhattan—but that tough decision is a big part of the reason we now own our dream home.

 

Ditch Uber, cabs, and cars—take public transportation.

It’s so much nicer to hop into a cab or Uber, but taking public transportation will save you boatloads of money. It just requires more planning. On a similar note, don’t own a car if you can get away with it. In Chicago, we definitely need one, as I drive home constantly. In New York, though, we went many years without, and it saved us so much. Insurance, maintenance, gas—it all adds up!

 

Travel smart.

Mitch and I use discount sites for hotels and flights—like Airfarewatchdog, Priceline, Kayak, Hotwire, Hotels.com, USAA, and Airbnb, just to name a few—and we’ve saved thousands of dollars on vacations because of it. We also volunteer our seats on flights whenever possible. If you have a flexible schedule, you can volunteer and bump yourself to the night flight in exchange for hundreds of dollars in flight vouchers. Mitch and I did this FOUR TIMES for our honeymoon flight, and ended up getting $2,800 in Delta flight vouchers. Needless to say, we flew for free for a long time. We only missed one day of our honeymoon!

And this totally contradicts my last tip, but if you travel a lot and have the flexibility (and own a car or can rent one for a reasonable price), drive. Of course, this tip comes with some limitations. For example, there’s really no way around flying if you’re traveling overseas. (Duh.) And if you’re going from the East Coast to the West Coast—well, that drive would be absurd. And sometimes flying can be cheaper than driving. And then there’s your schedule: If you only have four days, you probably don’t want to be allocating two full days to travel. But a six- to 12-hour drive if you have the days? You can totally handle it. I also highly recommend a fuel-efficient car. We have an old Prius, and that little guy can go forever on one tank of gas!

 

 

Don’t be afraid to tell guests you can’t afford their plans.

I love having friends and family come to stay. But guests can be expensive! When we lived in New York, we constantly had visitors, and they nearly always wanted to do it up during their one big weekend in the Big Apple. Totally understandable for them, but Mitch and I struggled to keep up financially weekend after weekend. Eventually, we realized that we shouldn’t feel guilty for telling our guests that we couldn’t accompany them to expensive experiences, bars, and restaurants. And everyone completely understood. We simply met up with them afterwards!

 

Find out about bar and restaurant deals and specials.

If Mitch and I walk past or hear about an establishment we’d like to visit, we always ask whether they have daily specials. The restaurant might have a great deal on burgers on Monday nights, for example, or discounted drinks on Wednesday nights. We keep track of them in our phones, and sometimes use sites like Small Tabs when we need help finding deals.

 

Party at your apartment—and at your friends’ apartments.

I’m not saying you should never go out and experience the city’s nightlife scene. But hey: Put those high rents to good use! I’ve had some pretty great nights at friends’ drinking Trader Joe’s wine and eating Two Bros. Pizza. Total bill? Like, $10.

 

Exercise outside.

Granted, exercising outside sometimes becomes impossible in the winter, but gym memberships can be ridiculously expensive in the city. In the past, I exercised outside from April until November…and then bought yoga packages for the months of December, January, February, and March. It ended up being way less expensive than a yearlong gym membership!

If you work from home, work from home.

As an experiment, I worked from coffee shops exclusively for a week last year. It cost me roughly $7 to $10 per day, as I usually bought a coffee and a snack. That’s $35 to $50 per week in savings! Don’t become a hermit, though. It’s important to get out every so often. These days, when I’m looking for a change of scenery, I work at a friend’s apartment, and treat myself to one day per week in a coffee shop.

 

Pick up inexpensive hobbies.

Mitch’s favorite inexpensive hobbies are biking and reading…and mine are writing, playing the guitar (poorly), and photography. (Equipment is expensive upfront, but the act of taking pictures costs nothing! I spend a few hours every weekend shooting for fun, and I love it.) Our hobbies bring us great joy, yet typically cost us very little.

 

Buy in bulk from eBay or Amazon.

This might sound silly, but Mitch and I buy products like plastic baggies, dog treats, and garbage bags in bulk, and our bills are a lower as a result. It goes without saying that you need storage space to buy in bulk, but if you have it, use it.

 

Shop online.

It might be more fun to shop in person, but online shoppers typically find better deals, and are less likely to make impulsive decisions.

 

Shop at discount food stores.

We only shop at Aldi and Trader Joe’s, and oh my goodness, guys. Our grocery bills are a third of what they would be if we shopped at trendier stores. Also, avoid bodegas. Seven bucks for a jar of peanut butter or tube of toothpaste? Please. Instacart, AmazonFresh, and Peapod (and the like) for the win.

 

 

Invest in wardrobe staples, not trends.

On the wardrobe front, I’m a firm believer in quality over quantity. I try my best to only buy pieces that I’ll know I’ll be able to wear again and again, and that I can pair with the rest of my stuff. When I do fall completely in love with a trend, though, I make sure to sell another piece to make up for some of its cost.

 

Sell your stuff.

Probably my favorite tip of all. Guys, I can’t even tell you how much stuff Mitch and I sell on Craigslist and eBay. Old furniture, old technology, old clothing—you name it and we sell it. It takes a lot of time, but it’s completely worth it. I mean, this month alone, we made more than $800 on Craigslist sales! Simply set aside a couple of Sundays per month, and make it fun. Turn on a movie, pump the music, pour yourself a glass (or two) of wine, and have at it. And be sure to read my Everygirl article about how to sell your stuff on eBay!

7 Suspenseful Books You Won’t Be Able to Put Down

School, work, wedding season, taking photos of your dog — life gets busy. Whatever it is that’s keeping you occupied may make it feel like you have no time to read. I’m ashamed to admit that as a writer, my commitment to reading ebbs and flows. For Valentine’s Day I was gifted a lovely non-fiction book about the history of France that I was dying to read. I am still dying to read it because I never made it past page 10. The truth is, when you’re busy, reading is easy to forget about, even if there are books you want to read collecting dust on your shelf — which is why you may need a real page turner to encourage you to finish a few chapters before bed each night. (Let’s face it, the entire history of France is a bit of a dense read after a long day of work.) Lately I’ve been drawn to any suspenseful books or mystery stories that keep me on the edge of my seat. It’s such a great feeling when you find a good book you can’t seem to put down, so I rounded up seven suspenseful books for you to check out. Some are classics and some are brand spanking new!

 

Joanne Ramos

The Farm

In a mix of science fiction and suspense, Jane is searching for a better future when she commits to being a “Host” at “the Farm," a luxury retreat for pregnant women who are creating the perfect babies for someone else to raise. Once Jane falls pregnant she becomes consumed with worry for her family and desires to reconnect with her life outside of the farm. But there’s a catch: if she leaves the Farm she will no longer receive the life-changing amount of money she was promised when she gives birth. This novel questions what it means for women to make sacrifices for their future and their loved ones. The perfect book club read!

Stieg Larsson

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

This book was all the rage a few years ago and it’s pretty obvious why. The story is so suspenseful it even made it to the big screen! A man investigating the disappearance of his niece hires a crusading journalist and the heroine of the story, Lisbeth Salander, to uncover the truth. They find much more than they bargained for. Catch up on the series before you stream the films! The film version of the sequel, The Girl in the Spider’s Web, was released last year if you’re ready to commit to a double book and movie marathon.

Gillian Flynn

Dark Places

If you loved Sharp Objects or Gone Girl, then you better read this. In this story, the protagonist was seven when her mother and sisters were murdered. She survived and testified that her brother was the killer. Years later, a secret society obsessed with notorious crimes contacts her in an attempt to discover proof of her brother’s innocence. And they’re willing to pay for her help, leading the heroine to once again be on the run from a killer.

Roxane Gay

An Untamed State

Life is good for Mireille Duval Jameson who is the daughter of a wealthy Haitian family. She has a loving husband and child, but her fairy tale life comes crashing down when she is kidnapped. This novel examines the tension between wealth and poverty, as well as the lawless anger that corrupt governments can produce.

Jodi Picoult

A Spark of Light

An ordinary day at a women’s reproductive health services clinic becomes not so ordinary when a distraught gunman storms an abortion clinic and takes everyone inside hostage. This novel highlights how ordinary lives can intersect during a heart-stopping crisis.

Stephen King

The Shining

Who hasn’t enjoyed a good Stephen King movie marathon? Why not get back to basics and pick up one of his most famous books? You might not want to read this on vacation as it takes place in an old and remote hotel. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, but read this one at home — when you aren’t alone preferably!

James Patterson

18th Abduction

You might want to pick up a copy of James Patterson's latest book for both you and dad (you know he loves him). The famed author’s latest tale is about detective Lindsay Boxer's investigation into the disappearance of three teachers. The investigation quickly escalates from missing persons to murder. At a little over 400 pages, this book is the perfect long flight travel companion.

 

What was the last book you couldn’t seem to put down?
