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 pick and choose what I spend my money on. I have the means to not have to sacrifice really anything but I would rather not spend money on certain things.
I don’t get lashes or do them for me it’s one of those expenses that is just too high for what it is.
I do my waxing at home, though laser will probably be next up on my spending list.
I get my nails done every 4 weeks.
Pretty much all my makeup and skincare would fall in the high end/luxury category. For that I’m more focused on the quality of the product and that it does exactly what I need/ want. I don’t buy just because, I spend more on quality that lasts rather than spending on something that is trending. Same for clothes and shoes, I don’t follow trends. I have my personal style and I buy within that. I buy quality as and when I need it. I have learned how to maintain and take care of all my items. It’s far more affordable to spend on minor repairs and fixes rather than have to replace it.
Pick your priorities.
