I don't know about waxing with these ingredients, but I make my homemade shaving cream with 1/2 cup coconut oil, 1 1/4 cups sugar, and some lemon juice. Wet legs, massage cream into legs. Shave carefully. Rinse. Repeat. Follow with lotion. Legs are so silky smooth, and it lasts a bit longer than regular shaving.
I'm assuming that the "wax" thing is something similar, only heated.

Esheschayil, I live in Boston and love it. It's a very comfortable place. But housing costs are comparable to NYC, London, Paris, Melbourne. I look around at everyone at shul and think "They can't be rich, they look so hamish!" And they must look back at me and think the same. Somehow we all manage to live within our means. Having so many universities and colleges and international people makes a difference in the cultural tone and attitudes here. You need to have an education to get a good job in Boston, or be very talented. I met my husband after college here. Many people come to Boston to school and then stay. Well, that's why I never even think of wearing make-up. Totally unnecessary, unless you want to.

I get a mani every other week and a pedi every fourth week. I take care of my hair myself since I cover. I color it and deep condition. I buy makeup every 3 or 4 years except for mascara which I buy every 6 months for hygiene reasons. When I buy makeup I will buy Chanel so it probably averages out to a normal person. I do my own wigs. With clothes and going out to eat without DH, I spend around 2 grand a month.

I get my eyebrows done every 8-10 weeks, I get my sheitel washed/set 3-4 times a year.
no mani/pedi, no skincare (not necessary , my skin is fine), no waxing (I simply shave with cheap disposable razors), I buy supercheap makeup once a year or so... we buy a special shampoo , one bottle lasts about a month and costs 4 euro... I dont think we spend more than 150 euro per year.
I guess we could afford more, but I couldnt care less. I rather spend the money on other things (comfortable shoes, a holiday or nice books...).
I dont think looking groomed correlates with the amount of money you spend for grooming.
