The Pedicure Factor

[sandra]

how many of you get pedicures on a weekly basis? is it really worth the $20/week. have any of you read automatic millionaire and about the latte factor? what of the pedicure/eyebrow threading/manicure, etc. factors?

[applehead]

is it about how much money you're saving if you
don't have a latte everday. like at 4 dollars a day times 365...
kasie, it would only make sense if you are taking that
20 dollar a week pedicure money and then
saving it somewhere.

i don't get weekly pedicures but
i indulge in other areas. *cough* yarn and books *cough*
we shouldn't feel guilty about that.
i don't think.

If it's about saving $, can't you do pedicures at home? $20/week is a lot.

I'm on a student budget, so no weekly pedicures/manicures (actually, I never had one). The only beauty procedure I get professionally done is a tri-annual $18 haircut.

I don't think it's worth the $20 a week at all. I maintain my appearance because I know it's not a perfect world and Asian women get judged on it, and partially because my artistic side enjoys it, but I definitely prioritize.

I devote the most attention to my hair and face, and making sure all exposed areas are covered in sunscreen to slow aging. After that, I totally ignore manicures, pedicures, and other things I view as extras. I also forego makeup and doing so hasn't hurt me. It saves me lots of money.

I just groom myself. =) I would never spend any amount of money per week on a pedicure. I'm a loyal Starbucks customer... I'd rather spend my money on that.

i was looking at my feet yesterday and i really need a ped. but i'm also scared because i hear about people getting infections and their toes have to be amputated or in REALLY bad cases, their whole foot.
