Hi there! I’m Lauren Vickers – professional slashie. Model / Presenter / Personal Trainer / Activewear Boutique Owner / Blogger.
You can find me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and my blog. Today, I’m here with you at Mamamia.
Let me run you through a little scenario…
Pre-6am wake up, workout, healthy breakfast, food prep, make yourself presentable, commute, meetings, admin, phone calls, social media, mountain of emails, lunch, more meetings, events, networking, date night, meditation, wind down, bedtime. And…breathe…
Just another day in the life of the busy woman! Sound familiar? Of course it does.
Every frugal woman knows that you can achieve the best of both worlds by spending your money wisely. The key is knowing where to spend a little extra for a great investment staple and then supplementing it with inexpensive (but quality) finds to boost your wardrobe and lifestyle.
Now, I know you don’t have time to fumble around sorting out where you can and cannot afford to spend on those investment pieces. Especially during winter, when it’s tempting to just spend up on anything and everything to fight the chilly weather blues.
So don’t worry sister, I’ve got your back. Read on and get back to business.
SPLURGE: A comfy pair of contacts ($58 for a 30-pack)
When it comes to the health and comfort for your eyes, we want to be making an investment. These DAILIES TOTAL1 lenses are actually very reasonable when it comes to the Splurge category, and as someone who frequently wears contacts for up to 16 hours a day, I can vouch for their comfort.

Now Lauren, I’m making a big assumption that you don’t have dependents - children, aged Ps. A few things concern me
1. did you shower?
2. social media at work, how does that work?
3. meditation after date night, then wind down. Hmm, pity the poor guy/gal on the date, unless you are a carer in a family that depends on you to find nappies/school uniforms/dentures I would invest your time in SHAGGING. Because before you know it making yourself “presentable” will be solely a shower (with small humans watching) and meditation will be social media in bed. With bad grammar.
