## Resource

Have beauty routines become way more expensive than they need to be? In this episode, we break down how to still feel polished, put-together and expensive — without actually spending more. From stretching your hair appointments and managing greys, to figuring out what’s actually worth it in your skincare routine, we unpack the small changes that make the biggest difference. We also get into the mindset shift around beauty spending, the pressure to keep up with high-maintenance routines, and how simplifying things can often give better results. Plus, a simple life admin reset — including a quick Gmail clean-up hack to clear out subscriptions and emails you never read. ________ SHOW NOTES Stretching your hair appointments — how to go longer between visits without it showing Full foils vs low-maintenance colour — when you actually need them Managing greys — options that don’t lock you into high maintenance Making your hair last longer — small changes that keep it feeling “done” Beauty on a budget — what actually makes a difference vs what doesn’t Skincare: where to spend vs where to save Simplifying your routine — why less can often give better results Life admin reset — small habits that make you feel more on top of things ________ 💡 GMAIL CLEAN-UP HACK Using Gmail: Go to More → Manage subscriptions in the sidebar See all your email subscriptions in one place Click Unsubscribe without opening each email Instant inbox reset. ________ Our signature  glossy*  theme track by  Mike Newport (@mikenewportmusic)  and  SIDD (@iamsiddmusic)  🎶 🎧 Listen on Spotify 📸 Follow for BTS → @glossypod 💌 Submit your Glossy dilemmas → slide into our insta DMs &nbsp…
