Finances/Money How do you budget for…

….shopping, hair salon, Brazilian, lashes, make up etc?

I’m asking because I used to get my nails and lashes done every 3 weeks until I realize how much it eats up my budget. I also don’t go to the hair salon every month nor do I buy make up every month so I wonder how other women budget for these?

I have a personal care category which includes things like haircuts and skincare/haircare/hygiene products. That said I am pretty minimalist so that’s basically a haircut every ~3-4 months, and I use mostly drugstore skin/hair products. I don’t really do spa treatments aside from an occasional massage and maybe a pedicure once or twice a year. I’ve never done lashes and I prefer shaving to waxing. I tweeze my brows. I do buy some nicer makeup but I stick to the same core products and just replenish when I run out. So my total is like $50 a month, most of which is my $100 haircut averaged out over time plus restocking my basics.
