ZenZebra88+FollowBecause of 50 bucks, I feel guilty toward my husband and kids.Anyone else feel guilty about their little indulgences? Since forever, I've been obsessed with getting my nails done! Even after marriage, I kept this ritual alive.Being a mom and homemaker is my daily reality. While I genuinely love taking care of my family, let's be real—it's exhausting! That precious hour in the nail salon each month? Pure escape. No kids asking for snacks, no mountain of laundry, just ME time.Recently though, I've been eyeing our budget and wincing. My nail appointments have become a consistent expense. When my husband comes home tired from work, I sometimes wonder if my little luxury is really necessary.But here's the thing—family work is REAL work. It's 24/7 with no sick days or lunch breaks. Those manicures aren't just about pretty hands; they're my sanity savers, my one consistent hobby in a life dedicated to others.So I'm curious—how do you balance self-care with budget concerns? Do you have a non-negotiable 'me time' expense? Or should I be looking for more affordable ways to escape the beautiful chaos of family life? #MomLife #SelfCareIsntSelfish #BeautyBudget #MeTime #MomGuilt #NailTherapy #ManicureChat #NailArtLovers 22Share

Whether it's enjoying a quiet cup of coffee before the kids wake up or taking a short walk alone, these moments help me recharge and show up as my best self for my family. Sometimes, I feel guilty for wanting space, but I remind myself that self-care sets a positive example for my children. How do you find time for yourself amidst the chaos of family life?
