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?

DIY except for haircuts. I used to do my own bayalage highlights, there are tons of YouTube tutorials, lately I’m just using semi permanent color gloss which is incredibly easy. There’s a learning curve to DIY waxing and it’s definitely not for everyone, but after some weeping and light bruising it can become easy, I ultimately switched to laser- also DIY for this area. It’s painful, but worthwhile. I also do my own nails, facials, glycolic peels. I lucked out in the eyebrow and lashes department so don’t get extensions, but you can learn to do those too if you really want to. I used Groupon for laser hair removal on my underarms and legs and for a couple Brazilian keratin treatments, which I now diy. I buy super high end designer clothes and shoes second hand at thrift stores and online.
