21. Do Your Manicures, Pedicures, and Waxing at Home
Some people accuse women of being high maintenance if they insist on always having manicures, pedicures, and waxing done once a week. However, some jobs actually expect women to be incredibly well-groomed if they want to be taken seriously in their field. If this describes your situation, it seems like a very expensive necessity. But with a little bit of research, you can start doing all of these procedures at home.

With a foot bath and some manicure tools, you can start doing your own manicures and pedicures at home for under $20 total. Almost every woman already has a bottle of nail polish at home, but if you need a new one, it’s usually less than $10 a bottle. If you feel intimidated, check out YouTube for tutorial videos. Once you buy the tools, you should be able to keep doing your own manicures and pedicures on your own, instead of spending $20 or more a week. Or, buy stick-on nails in bulk. If you buy a wax warmer and wax beads online, it’s just $20 for a starter kit.
