I normally allocate $45 per month to refill my hygiene and beauty products. Since none of my items run out at the same time, this helps me be able to rotate what products I buy while still being able to price it out in my budget. The $45 covers everything from dental, soaps, makeup, perfume and anything else I might need in my day to day that is NOT clothes.

✨ Pro Tip: I love getting dressed up to go “Shopping” even if I am just going out to buy essentials as it helps quench the retail therapy urges and avoid spending money unnecessarily.

This over-consumption mindset took me a while to unlearn. You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars per product to take care of yourself and feel pretty. I used to scroll through social media and feel self-conscious seeing people change up their scents daily with endless body sprays and lotions. I thought it was normal to have multiples of everything, but it’s not! and it is totally not necessary. On Average, all of my beauty and hygiene products are under $10-$15 making it affordable to maintain and still save!

✨ Pro Tip: Use up what you have before buying a new one. You’d be surprised how far your products actually go! Can you believe I’ve had the same body spray for almost 2 years?
