Summary

I describe myself as a "simple" person… someone who doesn't typically get her hair, nails, etc. done or shop for the latest and greatest fashions.

So when I decided to take on "Operation City Girl,"an exploration of what it would be like to spend money on a series of beauty related expenses (hair, eyelashes, eyebrows, nails, etc), I wasn't sure what to expect. How would spending money on my appearance make me feel? Is a higher maintenance life "worth it?" What are the pros and cons of these services?

Press play and learn all about my experience being a "material girl."

In this episode, you'll learn more about:

What "Operation City Girl" is and how it impacted my personal finances
How much getting my hair, eyelashes, eyebrows and nails cost
The pros and cons of the higher maintenance beauty life + more
