Some might say I'm a bit high maintenance. With a morning shower and all that I take about an hour to get ready. I got some luscious locks, take time on my make up, and even though my closet is a sea of black, white and oxblood (yes, I like those bougy names for colors) I always find myself debating outfit combinations. Last weekend when my bff came to visit she was ready in about twenty minutes (and popped out lookin' damn fly) and spent the rest of the hour playing with my dog on my bed as she waited. Point is, I am a fancy bitch with fancy problems. And all of that is very clear if you just peep my medicine cabinet.
In this very sacred cabinet (which is gigantic compared to most people's bathroom space) I have make up, bath products, hair oils, vitamins, samples, whim beauty purchases from Whole Foods, and many face washes. It may seem like too much but I use all of it at some point and if I'm not it has pretty packaging so shut up.
I think you can tell a lot about a person from their medicine cabinet. Like who they are as a person or what they value. Kinda. If you looked in mine you could tell that having clear skin and hair that shines like the ocean is very important to me. Also, that I probably have an unhealthy obsession with perfume. You would also be able to tell that I get into really intense vitamin stages and then give up before the bottle is halfway empty (I blame all these damn articles on the benefits of juicing and vitamins and Gwenyth Paltrow). It doesn't just go for me though. If you looked in my college roommate's cabinet you could tell that she never washed or moisturized her face because according to her "I don't have the money for that kinda shit!"(keep in mind she had plenty of money to spend on a George Foreman grill and the various disgusting meat that went on said grill, which I also never saw her wash). I bet you feel a lot better about your regimen now. Homegirl was crusty. I never once saw her wash off eye make up. She just reapplied, reapplied, reapplied for two years!
But, I digress! I'm not just interested in what I keep stocked in my cabinet, I wanna see everyone's! Maybe it's to find out about new products and perfumes or maybe it's just to be a creep and find out what kind of weird rash cream you have going on. And I know I'm not the only one. There is a section of a very fabulous/popular beauty blog that interviews people about their medicine cabinets! People out there are freaks just like me, see! It says a lot about the person. You see these posh people and open up their cabinets, and goddamnit would ya look at that! Their cabinets are just as posh as they are! Going back to my crusty roommate, you could look at her and know she wasn't packing fancy creams or lotions. The only thing a stranger would expect to find in her cabinet was sandpaper and the black chalk she used to rim her eyelids. Okay, I hear it. I'm a mean girl.
However, I really do think your stuff (specifically your grooming stuff) says a lot about you. I even think medicine cabinets can even indicate a life change. Flashback to nine months ago, I'm certain my boyfriend's cabinet was much sadder than it is now. Today, it has blue algae face moisturizer, fancy shaving cream and tea tree oil face pads! Men don't know about tea tree oil! That is until they get themselves a fancy ass bitch to tell them all about it.
