Hello Everyone,

I hope all is well!

As a university student, life can be overwhelming. Between classes, extracurricular activities, work, and socializing, it may be challenging to find time to take care of your personal grooming routine while building your identity capital. However, learning how to groom yourself at home can be an excellent way to save time and money, and build confidence.

Hello Everyone,

I hope all is well!

In today’s episode we will discuss why and how grooming one’s self can be beneficial to you all in the long run - especially while in your twenties. So, without further adieu let’s get into it!

In today’s episode we will discuss threading! Particularly for the eyebrows. I know many people are waxing or tweezing folks but I am a threading STAN! I do not care. I do not care. I do not care. Except, when it diminishes my pockets of course. As you all know from my last few episodes I am in a financial predicament due to poor money decisions but I’m learning and growing. However, the predicament has given me some time for reflection and I have realized that threading cost me $17 each session…which is $34 per month without the Lyft drive there and back (since I don’t have a car yet). That totals $408 annually. I swear every time I write an episode I am put into perspective how much money I spent on beauty alone - sheesh!

In today’s episode we will discuss sugaring! Upon much reflection (and my financial predicament) I realized that sugaring put a huge dent in my wallet last year!

So, without the Lyft, that brings me to $1620 I spent last year.

Today, we will discuss the topic of nails. Particularly how fun and beneficial it can be to learn how to do your nails! A gel manicure by itself without any designs is $35, and since we have to get them done twice a month, that is now $70 per month. This totals to be $840 per year. And that is without the pedicure or the Lyft ride there and back (since I do not have a car yet). Let us also consider that each time we get our nails done, we expose ourselves to high radiation without any protection, leading to skin cancer.

Especially, with the many myths and theories saying that on a vegan diet you will not receive all the nutrients needed as opposed to a non-vegan diet.
