About Lipstick Money

The term "Lipstick Money" originally stems from the era of the 1940's and '50's, a.k.a. 'pin money'.  It was that little bit of allowance your husband, boyfriend, father, gave to you to go spend on yourself.  Or it was that spot of cash you stashed away for a fun little splurge.  Generally it was just enough to go buy that new lipstick shade you'd been dreaming of, a simple something that made you smile.

Well fast forward just a few years and the way women earn, spend their money, or make spending decisions for their households, certainly have changed.  Women now have a much greater say, or decide altogether, in how they and their families make purchases large and small.  

But we all still have the desire to find the 'good stuff' that's worthy of spending our Lipstick Money.  And how do we generally find the best little 'golden nuggets' of information; great gifts, ideas for our kids, wardrobe updates, fun things of the here and now?  We ask our friends.  We want them to help us cut through the clutter and the noise out there that seems to just grow louder in this information age.

So Lipstick Money is written by your friends - the ones you turn to, new friends or old, to help you get to the small treasures of life.  Little things for everyday or aspirations for someday, but we hope to bring you thoughts that give you a bit of joy.  And yes we can be picky, but we know you're picky too.

So let Lipstick Money be your curator.  We'll help you turn down the volume and pick out the ideas that are worth savoring.  Things that are worthy of your sweet Lipstick Money.
