Welcome to the Age Of Offended
Mom defends spending over $1G a month at beauty salon with 3 daughters: ‘We are fabulous’
Look good, feel good.
One glamorous mom in the U.K. doesn’t mind spending big at the beauty salon each month to ensure that she and her three daughters can feel like their most “fabulous†selves.
Hannah Skidmore recently revealed that she spends nearly $1,300 per month on facials, blowouts, manicures and pedicures for daughters Tia, 17, Brooke, 9, and Valentina, 1, and herself. Acknowledging that some people may think the luxuries are “spoiling†her kids, the proud mom argues that every penny is well spent for the sake of self-care.
In an interview published Friday, Skidmore described the frequent spa sessions as cherished mother-daughter bonding time.
“I am teaching my daughters how to look after themselves,†the woman from Birmingham, West Midlands, England said, The Sun reports. “We all adore our trips to the salon because it’s our time to relax, gossip and have a giggle.â€
Why would she have to defend herself? Why is this anyone else’s business? Why was it necessary for The Sun to publish an article about this? If some people are Offended and have a butthurt, that’s their problem. If she wants to spend the money, that’s her business. Personally, I think it’s silly spending that kind of money, but, hey, if I were to simply blow $1k a month on something frivolous, she’d probably think I was being silly. Maybe traveling to different arenas to see my NJ Devils play? Doesn’t matter, it’s her money. In the Age of Offended, everyone has to get into everyone else’s business.
Okay, It’s her money (so far) and as far as I’m concerned she can spend it any way she wants, but if MY name was “Skidmore” I’b rather spend some on a legal name change than the beauty salon. No matter how you cut it she would be significantly more “fabulous” as Hanna St. James than just a Skid more or less.
Well, I can see Mum (and it is Mum over there) and the teenager going to the spa, but Valentina?
The broad must be rolling in it.
Oh, well, in the immortal words of Billy Crystal, “And I want you to know, my dahling, yooou look maaaahvelous. And I’d rather look good than feel good. If you know what I mean”.
