Welcome...

Welcome to Be Pretty or Die Trying.com. Let's start the festivities shall we? This is basically a "how to achieve beauty on budget" how to guide. But, of course, I would like to think mine is a little different. I have been completely gutted by this recession due to being laid off for a year, my credit card interest rates getting jacked up, and currently working two jobs to make ends meet. To add insult to injury, I currently reside in the most superficial city in the world, Los Angeles, California.

I named this blog be pretty or die trying because feeling pretty gives us women a wonderful sense of self esteem and empowerment that we need through these hard times. And when I say hard, times, I mean difficult need to feed my kids before I feed myself times. It is important to be smart, and I am smart, but sadly, unless you are locked in a underground shelter designing the next computer operating system that will make windows obsolete, your intellect is not going to be first thing people notice about you. And since I live in good ole' hell a, I would be lying if I said the way you are dressed and put together makes a tremendous impact on the way you perceive yourself, and the way others (i.e. potential employers, bored millionaires) see you.

Here's a couple of warnings before you continue reading,
If you are tremendous credit card debt because you can't settle for anything less than the best: this site is not for you.

I 'm clawing my way out of debt slowly but surely and I will do my best to give you tips that will only require you to spend cash or debit. Also, what I have to offer is just an opinion. You may disagree, some tips will not be your cup of tea, but I had to learn the hard way over a long period of time and this is all I got.

Last but not least, discount beauty is not always easy, I do not have a personal trainer or chef coming to my house every day to hook me up, so there is a lot of footwork sometimes. Trust me I know, I'm exhausted every single day. But it's worth it.
Happy reading everybody!
