TipidTip # 7 - Get your magazine fix in salons.

I am a self-confessed beauty magazine addict. I can devote hours and hours reading fashion articles and looking at those pretty little things way above my budget . At P125/mag, at first I thought it really wouldn't be that expensive since that's just one caramel macchiato in Starbucks. But when you buy 2-3 magazines in a month, that would really take a toll on your budget. Plus the fact that by next month the issue would've been considered stale, it really isn't a good investment.

So, my friend Leana suggested this TipidTip. Have your pedicure done monthly in a salon (then just put a fresh coat of clear nail polish every week to make it look new) and read their magazines instead. Most salons have a stash of current beauty and fashion magazines, so you can take your pick. While waiting for your nails to dry, devour as much as you can of the latest trends. Or if you can be honest to yourself, showbiz chismis too. *wink*
