Day Seven
8 a.m. — Get up and get ready for the day. I’m on annual leave today to use up some of my holiday and I’ve planned a day out with my mum.
We’re often reluctant to invest in ourselves. Think about the “girl math” trend, and how revealing it has been in showing the lengths women frequently go to when justifying purchases for themselves. Tori Dunlap, founder of Her First 100k and author of Financial Feminist, previously told Refinery29: “We’ve been judged for our spending and we feel guilty any time we spend money on anything.” Spending big on an item or experience for oneself *only* might feel taboo, or even selfish, because of this societal judgement — but sometimes, these purchases are the greatest investments, and putting them off is only going to cost us later down the line, be it financially or otherwise.
We’re only two weeks into the New Year, but we’ve already been treated to dozens and dozens of stellar red carpet looks.
