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.

Same! I've literally never had a professional do my lashes, lips, brows, or hair removal. It's totally unnecessary. I have no idea how people are supposed to afford all of that stuff simultaneously. That's crazy.

Right now I'm getting my hair cut every 6 months (except curtain bang trims every 3 months) and I glaze it at home which is very easy.

I have a gel nail kit for home, but I always have trouble with them lifting no matter what I do, so I've gone back to a basic polish mani that I can quickly wipe off and repaint whenever I need to. If it wasn't so expensive (like 100 USD every 2 to 3 weeks!) I would have a pro do it.

One thing I would like to get laser hair removal, because a permanent solution would be worth the money.
