Flowers most weeks and more audiobooks than I dare admit to.

A new pair of prescription specs every six months - I don't need new glasses that often but like having a range and I get them dirt cheap from Zenni optical.
Hair - lowlights and keratin treatment (which I didn't discover until my 60s and it's a game changer).
Gel nails, lash tint and brow tidy 3 weekly.

God I'm such a cheap date compared to some on here

We buy nice coffee beans but not mega bucks.
I spend zip all on my appearance. My mum or my sister dye my hair to cover early greys, I get a cheap haircut once a year or so. I've never had a manicure or pedicure and I don't think I've painted my nails since my wedding day. no lashes/brows/botox/fillers. We probably have flowers about once a year (anniversary) or if someone gives them.as a gift, and I've not had a massage since my honeymoon!!

I must confess I love luxuries but pedicures and Sunday lunches out occasionally. I also stay in hotels that are better than my home I don’t do mud or camping.

Glossybox once a month.
A chocolate fondue in the bath once a week. I use fruit, marshmallows and popcorn in it. It’s powered by a tea light so I don’t need a candle!

I make myself nice lunches when I work from home. Ramen, stuffed pasta, falafels and things.

I do not spend any money on health or beauty products, don’t smoke etc but I am rather partial to a Mulberry bag or two

TheCreamCaker · 03/01/2022 21:08

ssd I'm similar! I'm not currently earning (recovering from being very ill in the summer)but even when I was, I felt guilty treating myself to much - the odd lunch out with a mate, leisure centre membership, some inexpensive make-up, that's about all.

iTunes
Gym membership
Loads and loads of skincare products- although I actually want to whittle it down to a more manageable amount

I don't have my nails done as the time it takes doesn't feel like pleasure to me.

I have my hair done every 8 weeks but also feels like a chore so I don't enjoy it.

I'm going to take some inspiration from this thread though an increase my luxuries. We definitely deserve to have them.

Mookie81 · 03/01/2022 21:15

Neom electric diffuser; spreads a scent much better than a candle.
Nails every 3 weeks.
