Having teenage children is… interesting! When they hit the pre-teen age, life as you now it changes FOREVER! As a mum of a teenage boy and girl, I have the daily pleasure of being kept on my toes, along with having to take out my credit to purchase everything for them every 5 seconds. There are 3 things I buy my daughter all the time, because in her own words ‘she needs them!’. So what can’t she live without?
Blemish/Pimple Patches
When I was a teenager and I got a spot or 10, I just dealt with it. Now, my daughter covers her face in blemish/pimple patches. What’s strange is she’s not particularly spotty! These do work, I’ve tried them myself. They minimise the look of blemishes so I understand why they are useful. The patches my daughter uses are from the brand Face Facts and they come in a variety of shapes. So these are part skincare, part face fashion accessories.
Hair Scrunchies & Bobbles
My house is littered in bobbles! Black ones, brown ones…they are everywhere! Very useful things for both myself and my daughter and you can never have too many of them. I buy her a pack of 6 from Home Bargains in different shades of pink and neutrals.
Fragrances
When I use the word ‘fragrance’, most of the time it’s body mists. My daughter is as addicted to fragrance as I am. She takes them everywhere, especially to school. These can come in different sizes, shapes and fragrances, perfect for her to slip into the school blazer pocket or a small cross body bag. Most recent body mists used have been Designer Fragrances, Impulse and Treacle Moon.
So these are the 3 things I regularly buy my teenage daughter. None of these items are expensive thankfully, so I can be as cheap or as expensive as I like with ‘her’ purchases.
