Do you get your nails done regularly? Nope, I bite mine so no point in getting them done. lol
Hair cut/colored regularly? No, I color my own hair and get it cut once it gets to the point of annoying me.
Buy new clothes often? I used to but not since getting pregnant. I can't find cute maternity clothes that I love.
Other things like tanning, waxing, etc...? No Waxing- I do it myself and I don't fake tan anymore. Here, I just wait for the summer and lay out.
How much do you budget for this stuff/how much would you estimate spending? I'm pretty low maintenance as a girl, I think and I like it that way. lol I would hate to spend a ton of money on all the above things.
Hahahaha! This for me too! I just do it when I feel like it
Do you get your nails done regularly? No. I do my own nails. I get pedicures maybe once every few months, as a treat. ($40)
Hair cut/colored regularly? I haven't found a stylist I love here yet, so this is pretty sporadic. I'd say once every 4 months ($120)
Buy new clothes often? Not really. Maybe get a couple things here and there, but overall, I think it probably adds up to about $100 every couple months.
Other things like tanning, waxing, etc...? Waxing $20 every couple months, no tanning. I am a makeup junkie. I'd say that's where my extra spending goes a lot of times... If I had to guess, I'd say average $50 month (some months are more, some are less)
How much do you budget for this stuff/how much would you estimate spending? I'd say it's about $1500/year. And honestly, that's probably over estimating. I've curbed my spending quite a bit over the years.
Do you get your nails done regularly? currently yes, my friend paid to have tips put on for christmas so I'll maintain them for awhile before I go back to doing my own. ($50)
Hair cut/colored regularly? yes, about once every 3 months ($40) my friend owns a salon so i get a deal
Buy new clothes often? Not really. I'm more shoes and handbags but I've stopped splurging altogether and I'm not big into buying maternity clothes. now when I was buying myself shoes and purses this catagory could go into the thousands depending on what designer's collection I'd buy from
Other things like tanning, waxing, etc...? I was doing the brazillian wax for awhile but have stopped since I've taken up nails again. I don't tan at any salon (its bad for you) I will however buy hair product and makeup ($60) depending on what I need
How much do you budget for this stuff/how much would you estimate spending? I never budget for it I just do it. I was bad this year and if I add it up I'm sure it would be quite shocking
