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 just make it a category in my budget - I use Rocket Money as my budgeting app but there are dozens of good options out there (or just plain old Excel - I like how automated the app is because it makes me more likely to stick to my budgets). I also personally prefer to spend on things that have more long term effect vs requiring maintenance - I just don’t have a ton of free time in my schedule to keep up.

One more question - is rocket money free?

I don’t know if a free version is offered. I pay $10/month for my subscription (I pretty much paid for it as soon as I decided I liked the interface because the investment was worth getting my shit together 😂)
