| 0:00.0 | Have you heard about Chris Jenner's recent facelift? |
| 0:08.5 | It kind of went viral. |
| 0:10.0 | And allegedly, it cost somewhere around $135,000. |
| 0:14.1 | I mean, listen, she's in her 70s and she looks 35. |
| 0:16.6 | So the price tag makes sense. |
| 0:19.1 | But when it comes to today's beauty standards, what actually is necessary and what's not. |
| 0:24.9 | So today I'm going to share three crucial questions to ask yourself so you can approach this part of life and budgeting with wisdom. |
| 0:32.5 | I make sure to like, subscribe, and share this episode with a friend. |
