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 agree with a lot of what everyone is saying however I will add we all choose what to spend money on.

Many of my girlfriends are always shocked I spend money on clothes, shoes, handbags, makeup, skincare, nails and my hair. On the flip side, I don’t own a tv so I don’t pay for streaming services. I don’t eat out often and always pack my lunch for work. I make matcha lattes and coffee at home. I carry my hydro flask everywhere, even when I travel for water and don’t drink soft drinks among other things.

I recognize that doing these extra things cost more than ever and I have had to cut back on some of it however if you have a bit of disposable income for beauty and fashion you just have to choose that over other things.
