This is an interesting article that I meant to link to months ago and just found in my drafts folder. It talks about the inoffensive homogeneity that defines the most popular YouTube beauty gurus and how they perfect that formula to make big, big bucks (or big truckloads of free swag).
Seems especially pertinent now with the news that Zoella's book is breaking records for sales.

Don't you know that not buying a latte every day is the key to saving money? (from The Hairpin)

No, but really, if you don't already make your own iced coffee or iced tea, here's a tutorial, and you don't even need to buy a French press r any other fancy equipment. I recommend Tea Forte Cucumber Mint tea. It's not the cheapest tea ever (about $6.50 for 16 bags), and it won't improve your skin or whatever nonsense it claims to do, but it's fucking delicious, hot or cold.
I still have a shitload of those Nescafe instant things left, so I should probably see how they are over ice.
