“I decided it was time to hop off what I call the “Hot Girl Hamster Wheel”—the litany of recurring expenses necessary to be conventionally attractive. When you’re on the wheel, every dollar spent is a commitment to spending more in the future because most of these services have built-in maintenance costs, like replacing old gel nail polish or correcting the color of unsightly, grown-out roots.” You have no idea what hope it fills me with to see a woman disavowing the Hot Girl Hamster Wheel in the pages of the WSJ I hopped off after COVID Does it mean I have to sacrifice other things — yes But the extra money back I can reinvest in myself and those around me in ways that have higher ROI for me 🚨 BEAUTY IS A DEPRECIATING ASSET WITH RISING MAINTENANCE COSTS 🚨 https://archive.is/1W68z

No idea if this was just a blind spot to me previously but why does it seem like the last 5-10 years this thing really ramped up? Things that I felt like were associated with real housewives or super rich women became very common and accepted

Think it’s a confluence of factors but a big one is IG/TikTok — everyone must be camera ready
