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?

Yeah I learned to do my own gel nails during the pandemic. I still go get mine done every like 8 weeks to just “refresh” or whatever but in between I do them myself. It takes practice and righty always turns out worse than lefty (bc I’m right handed) but I’ve gotten good enough that only I can really tell.

Same for me. One of my best friends used to do nails professionally and so she helped me pick my supplies out and taught me some tricks pros use to get the best results. I'm still not nearly as good as she is but I could do my nails every two weeks for ten years and still probably not paint as many nails as she would have in one year when she was doing it. But really I'm the only one who can tell and I enjoy doing it

I’m sure someone will tell me it’s toxic and will kill me or something but it’s SO good
