    Thankfully my mother is a hairdresser, so I get my hair done for free. But I do indulge in manis/pedis ever so often. I will do my own too, I'm pretty good at that kind of beauty stuff. I also use to be a Beauty Consultant with Mary Kay Cosmetics.

    Speaking as a housekeeper, I totally get this. People always say "Oh, you clean for a living? Your house must be spotless!"

    I'm like "No, my house is a pigsty. It's filthy, cluttered, and you might accidently break an ankle navigating from one end to the other."

    After cleaning for 8 hours a day, the last thing you want to do is come HOME and clean.

    Thinking of getting a housekeeper to come in once a week to do a few small things.

    Two little kids at home and a 50 hour a week job,I'm realizing I can't do everything and it may be worth it.

    I was 60 when we first bought a washer and dryer. ( So long, laundromats!), I've never had a dishwasher. Maid service? In my dreams. The closest we ever came to frivolous expenses was horses, which means no money for any other frivolous expenses. Before I retired we used to take a one-week vacation every year. We don't vacation any more.

    Cleaning service 2x a month plus weekly grocery delivery. When we travel we get a house sitter/dog walker.

    I have a staff of 2- they may or not be classified in some parts as "child labor". Why pay for what you can birth for free?

    I get my hair colored at a very nice salon. That is my indulgence. :tongue:

    I would love to have a house keeper to do:
    Cleaning, laundry and make the evening meal. Awwwww I would be in heaven. :bigsmile: :love:

    Not unless you consider getting stuff for my kids occasionally a frivolous thing. I guess in my position as a single Mom of 2 boys, working 2 part-time jobs to survive, with no child support from their dead beat Dad, I consider a smart phone frivolous, as is internet and a computer. It's all in the perspective you see it from, I guess.

    If you pay somebody to do physical chores around your home and you're overweight, I think you've found the problem.

    Shellac.
    I love having color on my nails, but as a nurse I am ROUGH on them. It's the only type of nail polish (the gel kind that's UV activated) that stays on. I usually get it every other week, but I've recently found a place with a huge selection of colors and it's only $18 for the polish (vs. 30-ish for a manicure with the polish).
