Why women spend so much money? Where does it go?

Have you ever been surprised or even shocked how much money women can spend? There are many reasons why this happens and if you were not aware of how much we spend, you are in for a shock. I know that men like to analyse things , especially the finances , so let's dive in deep and find out! First of all, women have to endure tremendous pressures from the society to look good, be fashionable, look youthful and trendy at all times. This has always been the case but now it has been exacerbated by the social media and the pressures to keep up with the influencers and celebrities. And although not all women fall into this trap but this can be really noticeable. Suddenly all women want a Chanel bag whereas before they have been happy with a regular bag that is reasonable priced. Suddenly the young ladies are all fashion victims. But let's leave those for a moment and let's see how much the average woman can spend just on her daily upkeep. I know that some men find those numbers r...

The Lipstick Recession: How Fashion Is Dressing for a Potential Downturn

The Lipstick Recession: How Fashion Is Dressing for a Potential Downturn As the economy teeters on the edge of uncertainty, fashion is stepping up—not to make a statement, but to make a statement . Enter the "lipstick effect," that delightful phenomenon where, in the face of financial doom, we splurge on small luxuries to feel better. It's as if our wallets are on a diet, but our spirits are indulging in a shopping spree. 💄 Lipstick: The Little Red Flag of Recession The "lipstick effect" suggests that during tough times, people opt for affordable indulgences like premium lipsticks, nail polishes, or fancy coffees instead of splurging on expensive handbags or vacations. It's like saying, "I can't afford a holiday, but I can afford to look fabulous while staying home." In the UK, this trend has been evident, with consumers turning to small luxuries such as Estée Lauder lipsticks during economic downturns. 🧵 Recession Chic: Fashion's Subt...

KOJI RESTAURANT REVIEW

Koji is a Japanese restaurant located in Fulham. It is a hidden gem of a restaurant that can rival the more famous Japanese restaurants in London like Roka and Zuma. The location is more convenient for Chelsea and Fulham residents though and also Parsons Green. Koji also has a bar with the famous feather lamp decorations that are absolutely stunning. Lots of cocktails to choose from to start off the evening. The menu has a large selection of dishes that are all absolutely delicious, I have tried most of them and highly recommend everything! My preference of course being sashimi and sushi and other variations like ceviche , also many others, you can't go wrong with Koji. The service is really great and very attentive without being intrusive. The atmosphere is always very busy and fun, make sure you book as it seems it is always full even on a week day. It is perfect for any occasion, family dinners, dates, friends gatherings etc. A great place with a fantastic atmospher...

THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW WERE RUDE TO ASK - ETIQUETTE

Have you ever been made uncomfortable during a conversation by someone who was asking too many intrusive questions? Or have you made someone uncomfortable? What are the questions that you didn't know were rude to ask... There are so many questions that are too intrusive and a covert way of asking something else indirectly. 1. What do you do? This question seems innocent but asking it directly comes across intrusive and putting someone on a spot. It comes across you are asking how wealthy are you, how much money do you have? Some people are just wealthy and don't do anything and others just lost their job. It is not something they would want to discuss unless you are a close friend already, definitely not with a stranger. It is better never to ask and wait for the person to mention it themselves. 2. Do you live alone? Another question that is a bit uncomfortable , are you trying to invite yourself? Or asking if someone can afford to live by themselves. Anot...

WHY DO WE SPEND SO MUCH MONEY ON FASHION AND BEAUTY?

Why do women spend so much money? Everyone has that friend who is always broke and living from pay check to pay check even though she has an amazing salary... How is that even possible you could ask? It is very interesting when you actually observe how people and women in particular spend their money to always end up in the red. What are the reasons? 1. Keeping up with others Have you even caught yourself wanting the same thing as your friend and even buying it straight aways as soon as she got it? Was it a bag, perfumes, a dress, shoes? Yes, we have all been there. It is peferectly natural to want the same things as your friends if they look good on them. 2. Social media influence A friend who has something you want but on steroid- a social media influencer or even a celebrity, don't we all just want to look like those beauties? And of course we need to have everything they have if we can afford it. Unfortunately we forget some of those things they get as a part of the pro...
