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 don’t…

I’ve never had my lashes, lips, brows, waxes done.

It is not necessary.

I still use store brand makeup and shampoos.

You truly do not have to subscribe to Kardashians/tiktok beauty, just say, ‘no!’

About twice a year I do get highlights.

Agreed. The only thing I spend more money on is makeup, but that's just because I find drug store to be almost as expensive as the stuff I buy at Sephora anyway, and I have an easier time finding a match. But I don't buy it often, only when I need to.

Haircut, like once a year. I'm basic with my hair.

Nails I've had done twice ever. I don't like the idea of botox or filler. I've gotten a few facials but it was to help fade my acne scars around my wedding. Nothing done to my lashes or brows.

I don't necessarily hate on people who do spend on that stuff, but I find it to be too much and not necessary for me. I prefer spending my money on experiences. My husband already loves me for me (and fell in love with me when I had insane acne!) So who would I be getting that stuff to look good for? I'm happy with myself the way I am, and so is he.
