vanity vain, so much, too much?

Your parlour freak lady is not out to please you por look for public aproval. She is spending her money as she sees fit. It no doubt makes her feel that she is getting the personal attention and the feeling of wellbeing that we can only wish for. On the other hand she may be compensating for being very unhappy, who knopws? But it is her money and her business. Who are you to judge? Is she sending you out to work for the money? Perhaps she is a working girl who needs to be absolutely immaculate in every detail!! Have you thought of that? lol Now if she had barefoot children waiting outside for her, as many men used to have children waiting outside the pub whilst they spent the housekeeping. Well then you could shout.

I am certainly not with that kind of trend.. Is Madam Auring acceptable for this discussion?;) LoL I know a girl, a neighbor of ours here. Don't seem to know the difference between a beauty and of "feeling beauty". I don't mean to insult anyone, but she's still the same her after coming out of the salon. We sometimes joke about her and say, "she maybe just did her nails (manicure/pedicure) so we can't see the change in her appearnce!;) But I guess that is just her another way for others not to insult or taunt her. Besides, it her money that she spends and not ours..

One girl I know she goes out for all that stuff then she shops like crazy on clothing she never wears and its so silly too. The jeans she buy cost $90 and she buys t'shirts that cost her like $25 + (I can't imagine spending that much for just a T'shirt). She has to have expensive. If it's cheap she don't like it, even know to me it looks the same to me. She wants to be a model. She has an outragous credit card bill.

It's grown out of the -me- society. Instead of people concentrating on making themselves better in the inside they focus on the superficial. People will take themselves into debt to make their image better in people's eyes. This is a sad situation.

I hate ladies who are like that. I even don't like ladies who are making make-ups as their partners in life. I know a lot of ladies who are like that but luckily for them, there are changes. They are paying for the changes so that's good. What's bad is most of them looks bad. Instead of looking better, they looked worst. Too much of something is not good. And I pity them because it looks like they still have to go through that ugly stage to face the reality.

I'm no salon freak. In fact, i do salon stuffs on my own like manicures and pedicures. As for haircuts, i just go down to it whenever i feel like doing it. Sometimes, i don't understand why people spend so much time having foot spas and other simple stuffs when they can do it in their own homes and save so much!

I think that is a bit harsh & judgemental. If sh eis the one paying for it & not you then I don't see a reason to be upset. If she enjoys going to the spa & such than all the more power to her. I am not one to go to the spa. I do get my hair professinally cut a few times a year.

I'm a self-confessed beauty junkie and I love haggling for clothes and shoes and most especially make up. I don't usually go to the parlor since because I know how to make myself up. If I do, it is very very seldom. I always want to have to go have a massage though and going for spa treatments not because of vanity but of the comfort it brings. And I believe I need some pampering too.

I dont do it every day or week, but atleast once a month. I enjoy beautifying myself, it makes me fell alot better, whether or not people think I'm pretty. Its just how a person takes care of themselves.

when I go to the spa/hair salon/massage/pedi or a mani I generally do it for myself not for others. I take alot of pride in my appearance

i can't think of a treatment that has to be repeated every week!!! i mean that's really too much. i have often wondered why do some females spend so much on their salon visits when all they do is sit at home and take no active part in household chores. but i guess....it is all about money. you ought to have money in order to spend it.

I think that a woman needs to pamper herself every now and then , to much though and it loses it effect on people.

Honestly, I rarely go to a salon/spa etc for anything. My friend is a hairstylist, so anything to do with hair is at her house, and as for manicures/pedicures/facials etc, I save the money for at home kits from the salon wholesaler. Cheaper, more relaxing and all that you really need. I do know people that judge me on this, because they have the money to go to spas etc all the time. But I am a single mother of two children. I work with what I have, and in reality, most of the things you have in your house on a routine basis works alot better than the expensive treatments anyways :P

It's not all about beautifying yourself. Sometimes it's just nice to be pampered for an hour or so with a massage or a facial or something similar. It feels good and it's nice to take time out from a busy week of working just to relax and have someone do these things for you rather then doing them yourself. I used to get a fortnightly manicure as I hated doing my own nails and wasn't very good at it (unsteady hands when putting the polish on). I don't go anymore as I'm saving my money but I do miss getting it done.

no i do not. people waste money too much on stuff they really dont need.

I DO KNOW OF SUCH PEOPLE WHO TEND TO GO OVERBOARD.EVEN I DO LIKE THINGS WHICH ARE CONSIDERED EXTRAVAGANCE BUT NOT BEYOND A LIMIT.

My husband's aunt goes to the beauty salon every Saturday. It's pretty much her only entertainment and looks forward to it all week. I've only had a few manicures my entire life and maybe 2 pedicures. I stretch the time between cuts as long as I can. I've never been a big fan of salons and any spa treatment is a rare treat.

I like to look after myself every so often, but I wouldn't wanna get so obsessed/ or overly obsessed about the outside appearance. I think that no matter how many pamperous beauty clinics someone has visited or how many items of fashion or makeup they've got on, it doesn't matter what they look on the outside because what you really need is to find their inner qualities and personality, not the materialistic, superficial stuff. ;) Personally, I'm not really into the manicures, spas and massage kind of things because I don't have that much time for it. I think those kind of things should just be the occasional event, like a wedding or something special like that. Not every DAY! o_o I don't think I've ever heard of anyone that does the parlour stuff everyday. Besides, I wonder how they make their money back after all that expensive spending and stuff.. unless they're retired and have nothing better to do or something, though. I do go to the salon some time in a while, and everytime i get my haircut, it's always a bit shorter

yeah i know a lot of people spending to much money for their skin, hair, body and etc just to stay young. It is good to look and feel clean but if its too much its unreasonable maybe they should give it to charity or put the money in a more productive way i do go to spa but i am not putting a big budget or over budget for it

I am not against vanity. Its something that you do for yourself.. to free you from stress and other things that occupies most of your time. Its okay to be vain, for as long as you don't overspend it. Anyway, pampering oneself is not a crime.. As long as you feel good about what you do, and you like the result of your vanity, then good for you.
