Things I Add to Cart but Never Buy

I always push myself to get things done, to be productive. By the end of the day, a few hours are gone, wasted on procrastinating sleep, doom scrolling on social media, and my ultimate guilty pleasure – adding things to my cart I’ll never actually buy.  As I scroll, a lot of posts inspire me and I’m kind of sorting things I think I need.

These products do the job and it’s perfect for anyone who’s low-maintenance but still wants results.   Maybelline New York Hyper Curl Mascara   It’s always nice to elevate your look when you step outside. For me, since I rarely go out, my routine is simple. I usually stick to a light liq...
