[quote=Anonymous]I don't really think of any of this as self-care or wellness, but....

[u]Where I spend $$$$:[/u]

Botox = $1800/year
Filler = $1200/year
[u]
Where I spend, but also save:[/u]

Skincare, probably $150/year-- generic Differin and products from The Ordinary

[u]Where I don't:[/u]

Haircut and maybe color once per year, maybe $150-250 including tip
Mani/Pedi-- almost never get these, maybe a pedi once a year-- if I had more money, I'd get pedicures once in a while, but my nails are kind of a disaster (very weak), so kinda no point in getting manis
Massages-- Sure, if I had the income
Lashes, Hair extensions-- Maybe, if I had the income
Waxing/Hair Removal/Brows-- Nah.
Blowouts-- I would do this if I had more money, but almost never do as it is
Designer $$$$ bags-- Not interested in the least. Not even on sale/etc. Not like... Hermes or even LV. Yes, I have a See by Chloe bag I got for $50, but that's about as much as I'm interested in.

[u]Where it's complicated:[/u]

Makeup-- I do buy a mix of higher end and cheaper brands, but I might have maybe spend $50 on makeup in the past two years thanks to COVID and WFH, and I have tons left
Clothes-- I love clothes, but am a bargain hunter... but also recently lost a ton of weight and had to replace 80% of my wardrobe, so... considering I only spent like $2500, and it was mostly designer, I think I did well. But in a normal year, not that much.
Self-tanning-- I used to do this for like $50 a month and would do it again if I lived closer to a place that does unlimited (machine/booth).

I feel like in a normal year, I spend most of this budgetary line item on my nurse injector, basically. I still dress well and care about hair and makeup, but I don't spend that much relative to what I guess I could. I mean, not really, because I am not well-off. But I think lots of others who had $4000-5000 a year total to spend on all this stuff wouldn't spend $3000 of it on injectables. On the other hand, I spend so little on lots of other things people spend on, like my hair. I should at least get it cut twice a year, lol.
