Spending Money To Get The Life You Want

We all know that, among a few other things, money makes the world go round. In order to get what we want in life, we have to sacrifice the little bills in our pockets and the numbers in our bank accounts. You can’t really get anything for free in this world, unfortunately. Sure, there might be a few lucky souls that have things handed to them on a silver platter, but the rest of us have to graft for it. 

The world we living can often be an unforgiving one in terms of the money we have and the money we spend. What seemed like a good idea one day may turn out to be a terrible one the next day – with heavily grievous consequences. Those instances, however, are few and far between. Those risks we take can come with rewards that benefit us for the rest of our lives. Whether it’s personally or professionally, investing some dough into something can be the difference between getting what we want and just missing out on something special.   

As we said before, you get what you pay for in this life. If you’re unwilling to get out there and part with your money, then you’re probably not going to receive the benefits. Think about what you want out of life or the life that you’ve always pictured; it won’t walk over to you; you must go and get it. Let’s now look at ways in which your investment can affect your life for the better.       

Your Health 

What we know about the universe is that we only get one life. We’re here for around eighty to ninety years (maybe more if we’re lucky) and then that’s it. You’ve got to make sure you comfortable reach that number, and that the journey along the way is smooth. The idea is to work with a little stress and physical harm as possible and retire happily in Beverly Hills or something gorgeous like that, right? Well, investing in health insurance could be make or break for you in this life. It may come across as a monthly burden rearing its ugly face on your bank transactions, but one day may come where it’s absolutely needed. You never know what might be around the corner – an insurance company covering you at the worst of times might be the best thing that can happen to you.  

Another way in which your health would be benefited through what you spend is in relation to the food you eat. As a collective society, we’re not the most educated on how to structure and maintain and fabulous diet that’ll keep the ticker going for a long time. Spending your money on all of the right foods instead of processed and fast foods will skyrocket your life magnificently, however. 

Finally, throwing money at schemes that offer you results in a matter of weeks is something we all know is a bad move. Anything that ever produces great results always has time and work attached to it. Working with professionals that know what they’re doing will benefit you hugely. Whether it’s a nutritionist or personal trainer, expert guidance is a sure-fire way of getting what you’re after.

Your Work 

We said it before: you can’t expect to hit the heights you’ve always imagine with spending a little on it. Everyone has had a vision before about owning a business of their own, and in order to get things moving, you need to dip into your own funds. A small firm that isn’t committed doesn’t ever get anywhere. Sometimes, if you want that wonderful ROI, you need to take the plunge.  

There are so many ways you can spend money to earn money. Investing in something like real estate is a great way of bringing in money passively and actively. Working on homes and reselling them at a higher price is something you could do if you’re willing to put in the effort. You’re bound to make outrageously large passive income if you were to buy and let out architectural luxury homes in los angeles or something of that ilk. People will always need homes, so the demand isn’t going anywhere.  

Travel 

If you’re okay with staying exactly where you are for your entire life, then that’s okay. But I’m not sure that’s something you’d like to do. Nobody wants to sit, bored, in the same town or city for decades. Branching out and getting to know this world that we occupy is in our nature – we are hunters, gatherers, and travelers, after all. In order to reach newer (maybe greener) pastures, you need to set aside some money that would then be utilized accordingly. 

Life isn’t just about the serious stuff, though. We all need that relaxation time or that exploration time. Work is what makes our society function, but batteries need to be recharged, and R&R is a necessity; otherwise, we’ll all go loopy. The life you’ve pictured involves hitting vacation spots that are in your wildest fantasies; you’ve got to chuck some money at flights and wonderful accommodation once in a while to make that dream a reality. Like with anything, vacations can have their hiccups. Doing the smart thing and investing in some travel insurance would be smart. It would keep you feeling clear mentally too. 

Your Family

Your flesh and blood and probably the reason you do all of the things you do. When you have those you love around you, it makes everything worthwhile. So why wouldn’t you prioritize them over everything else? We talked about your own health care, but when it comes to your loved ones, all of that becomes obsolete. 

Your family home is something that means more to you than most. It’s more than just four walls and a roof. Dipping into your purse and creating the perfect family home is something we’d all like to do. Create that forever home that we all crave.  

Your kids and their futures are probably the things you care about most in this world. They’re going to need to have a clear road ahead of them if they’re to achieve. Their education is of paramount importance, so if you want what’s best for them, setting aside a college fund or something similar would be an excellent idea.

Why Oil Is Your Friend This Summer

Via @MerleNorman

While during the summer the last thing you may want is more oil, on your body but as studies have shown oil in the summer won't make you break out like when you were a teen. While we all want that dewy look, many are going for anything to make us look matte, while we may melt running inbetween meetings. What we've learned is that as long as you nourish your skin and use a lighter oil than you would in the winter you'll be glowing through fall.

Ahead, are our favorite oils for summer.

Start with a cleanser from AMOREPACIFIC this effectively cleanses the skin without depleting the skin's own protective barrier. This can be used a makeup remover as well, as it transforms into a silky emulsion when water is added, rinsing perfectly clean with no oil residue. Reviews have said it's ". The luxurious quality and scent make me feel like I'm at the spa."

Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Precious Oil SPF 15 - A luxurious, soothing and nurturing oil with sheer SPF 15 sunscreen, one of the first of its kind. Cutting-edge plant biotechnology isolates and replicates the perfect rose stem cells for maximum anti-age repair. A precious bouquet of six rose stem cells and six rose extracts are blended with natural oils to help repair and prevent the signs of aging while nourishing, soothing and calming skin. Sheer, broad-spectrum SPF 15 sunscreen helps protect from UVA and UVB damage. Absorbs quickly, imparts a radiant glow and leaves skin silky soft, smooth and youthful-looking.

Moroccan Elixir is a beauty company that carries handmade organic argan oil and cactus oil from Essaouira, Morocco. The elixir that uses Vitamin E forms a protective layer insulating your skin and hair from thermal heat produced by the sun. By protecting skin and hair, you can help prevent wrinkles, sagging skin, and hair breakage for both men and women. Theargan oil is non-greasy and does not clog up pores. Instead of packing countless beauty products, Argan Oil is a powerhouse product that fights multiple signs of aging, moisturizes every skin type, and is a wonderful face primer for makeup. It’s great for men as well who need a little TLC for their beards!

Afraid of age? So are we, that's why we use Merle Norman Anti-Aging Complex Emulsion Dry Oil Serum. Perfect for hot and humid summer weather, this ultra -lightweight, silky dry oil serum blends beautifully onto skin and begins absorbing on contact. Because of its dry oil texture, there is no greasy residue, making it ideal for those who have oily skin or are exposed to the humidity. It provides immediate hydration for a radiant glow as well as long-term hydration by increasing or decreasing the number of drops you use based on your skin’s hydration level each day, this anti-aging serum will help improve skin texture, firmness, elasticity and suppleness.
