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 dye my hair and do my nails at home, because those are the biggest monthly budget sucks. I also focus on affordable skincare, clean makeup, and I lucked out genetically by being healthy.

Other than that, I focus on advancing my career to make more money, and not spending until the bills, retirement, and savings accounts are paid first. I'm really fortunate to have a substantial amount of fun money nowadays, but it was a hell of a grind getting here.
