Tiffany Fluhme, CEO of Fluhme Beauty, and plastic surgery physician assistant, doesn’t believe women have to deny themselves to help balance the checkbook.

“Women are very good at denying themselves luxuries, as well as some necessities, in order to make ends meet,” said Fluhme, entrepreneur CEO of Fluhme, a Direct Selling/Party Plan Cosmetics Company (www.fluhme.com). “The problem is, when a woman cuts out key items of her beauty and wellness regimen – makeup, skin care, her gym membership, etc. – it will definitely have an impact on how she feels about herself.
