The Price of Beauty: Exploring the Pros and Cons of Higher Maintenance Beauty Services

I describe myself as a “simple” person… someone who doesn’t typically get her hair, nails, etc. done or shop for the latest and greatest fashions.

So when I decided to take on “Operation City Girl,”an exploration of what it would be like to spend money on a series of beauty related expenses (hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails, etc), I wasn’t sure what to expect. How would spending money on my appearance make me feel? Is a higher maintenance life “worth it?” What are the pros and cons of these services?

Press play and learn all about my experience being a “material girl.”

In this episode, you’ll learn more about:

• What “Operation City Girl” is and how it impacted my personal finances
• How much getting my hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and nails cost
• The pros and cons of the higher maintenance beauty life + more
