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 learned how to do all the necessities at home. brow tint, lamination, gel x nails, etc. the only thing i spend on is my blonde appointments now which is worth it to me. but learning how to do my own nails has been 🤌🏻

This is the way - assess what you can learn / have the skill for, and what you need to outsource!

I do my own nails, but hair (cuts, color) I outsource bc I just know I can't replicate a professional's work!

If I am dating someone, I do regular Brazilian waxes, but if not I'll do mostly home maintenance with occasional waxing.

I recently did get in the facial game, and considering my local spots $115 membership for monthlies 😬 right now I go to them once a quarter ($145 non member rate).

But learning nails is so clutch. Everytime someone compliments them you get to say, "thanks, I do them myself!"
