As a woman, I can tell you that one of the things I despise the most when getting ready for work is not the fact that I have to change my shirt a third time because the first option was terrible and now I’ve spilt coffee on the second one, it is the fact that I have to spend time putting on makeup. Personally, I find it time consuming, boring, and expensive. Actually, on average did you know that women spend $300,000.00 in their lifetimes on makeup? That’s roughly $315 per month (*queue panic calculating*). In fact, the United States is home to the largest beauty and personal care market in the world, and in 2019, it was valued at about 93.35 billion U.S. dollars. WOW!! The real question however, is out of the $300,000.00 or more you may spend on beauty products in a lifetime, do you actually know what you are putting on your face?

We are going to look at steps you should take now, to make sure you stay on track financially.

It took only ten days for women to experience the pendulum swing forward towards the preservation of a women’s right to accessible reproductive choice for it to only swing backwards towards the infringement of that same choice. In just ten days, the United States Supreme Court gave pro-choice women and organizations like us, Lawyers Club, a reason for celebration and a reason for mourning.
 

In this month’s LC News, I wrote about the history of San Diego Pride (article available to Lawyers Club of San Diego members here). July 2020 will be the first year in decades without a San Diego LGBTQ+ community march. Here, I share what I believe will be lost by not having Pride in person.
