If you’re juggling rent, food, and subscriptions, carving out a dedicated beauty budget can keep your glow steady—just like Shivanjali did by earmarking ₹6,000 for her gym, digital health, and self‑care, even as her rent topped ₹25,000 and food hit ₹12,000.
Her gym membership alone was ₹3,000, but she bundled that with a monthly AI skincare analysis app and an iCloud storage plan, each costing ₹500, and an OTT streaming subscription for fitness videos, pushing the total to ₹6,000. This mix of physical and digital wellness ensures she stays fit and informed.
The ₹7,000 she spent on shopping and personal care was split between a trusted serum from L’Oreal—₹2,199 for the Revitalift 30‑day pack—and a set of organic face masks from a local brand, each at ₹1,099. The rest went to a quick‑refresh toner and a natural lip balm, keeping her routine lightweight yet effective.
With the rest of her budget balanced—₹25,000 for rent, ₹3,000 for groceries, ₹12,000 for dining out, and ₹4,000 for commuting—she could afford to upgrade her skincare without breaking the bank. The trick is to track each category in a simple spreadsheet and adjust as needed.
If you want to follow her lead, start by listing every recurring expense, then set aside a fixed amount for wellness. Try swapping one pricey subscription for a lower‑cost, high‑quality alternative, like switching from a generic app to the 30‑day L’Oreal Revitalift trial.
