Becoming High Maintenance

I'm 50-plus years old, and I had my first manicure/pedicure just a couple years ago.  I didn't grow up with such indulgences in my life - and never actually missed them.  It was only with socializing with other women, that I was drawn into the mani/pedi thing.  When I had my first pedicure, about 1/2 way thru it, I admitted that Ithis was my first pedicure. The pedicurist (?) said she could tell this was my first (sounds so virginal)!  Not because my feet were in bad shape, but because I was so anxious.  Who was I to ask someone else to attend to my feet!?  A friend who was there said she would have taken pictures if she'd known this was my first time.  A right of passage! However, since that time, I've gotten several more treatments and have relaxed a little.  These mani/pedi's include massage, and you get to sit in a chair that massages you while everyting else is going on.  Ahhhhh!!!!  Anyway, today I was getting a mani/pedi and while I was under the black light drying my nails, the beautician asked if I wanted my eyebrows waxed.  No!  She seemed to think it was a really good idea.  I asked how much it cost.  Eight dollars.  I'd already paid $79.00 for me and a friend (a gift to my friend for a favor she had done for me).  What's eight more dollars?  Okay. Let's go.  I was escorted to a private room with a couch/bed upon which I laid.  Wax was applied to my eyebrows and stripped off quickly (and harshly) with an application and removal of paper.  It took less than 5 minutes.  But, by gosh, my eyebrows did look better!  So, I asked, how often do I have to do this?  Every three weeks.  Add this to the routine: hair cut, colored, styled; nails done; eyebrows waxed; make-up; age defying moisturizers; teeth whiteners; and trying to lose weight.....  Can I keep up this maintenance routine indefintely?  Will I always want to?  Will it make a significant difference to those who care most about me?  And if I don't get a raise soon, what then?
