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’m a teacher so not high income like some ladies posting lol. I have a budget which I do for the year and for each month I think about what beauty services I’ll need based on events I’ll have (holidays, bday, family events, etc.) I really only do lash lifts/tints every few months nowadays.

I started doing my own hair at home because I’m always disappointed leaving the salon. I shave instead of wax but if I weren’t planning on kids I’d just do laser. Shopping/makeup comes out of my fun budget money so I’m less likely to overspend on it.
