Recently, I spent two weeks away from home. I was living out of a duffel bag and spending a lot of time in other people’s space, so it was important that I pack smart… which I thought I had done until I realized that I left home without a nail file.

I’m not someone who compulsively paints or maintains their nails, but I am someone whose entire day will be ruined if they have a rough, pointy or uneven patch of nail that happens to catch on everything. I’ll do everything from bite them to attempt to file them on my jeans. It’s a sad sight.

Which is why I extra love crazy deals like the one I found today:

ELLE Cosmetics Manicure Set, $4

 

If I had this set, I would keep it in my purse, 24/7. You do not want to see me when my nails get jacked up. It’s not pretty.

(These would also be cute gifts, since we’re coming up on that season! Not a bad gift for $4, but I’m disgustingly cheap, so take that for what it’s worth.)

Probably watching Netflix.
