A Very Niche Level-Up + Looksmaxxing Idea List for 2025

This list is for the girls that get it. It’s niche and not for everyone, but I’m throwing up at the fact that every “how to level up in 2025” post talks about journaling sad pages 24/7, drinking 8 cups of water a day, and walking 10k steps. How original.

Again, this is a very niche set of ideas. If you can’t relate then you can’t relate. But if you enjoy a good plastic surgery post and luxe lifestyle, maybe you will :)

1. Upgrade your car. We’re getting the Lexus’, the BMW’s, the Mercedes, the Jag’s, etc.

2. Upgrade your home. We’re living in high rises, we’re living in coastal areas, we’re living up in the mountains, we’re living where Amazon can drop our package off and we don’t have to worry about a porch pirate; we’re living in nice areas and in nice units/homes.

3. Breast augmentation.

4. Rhinoplasty.

5. Medical grade skincare.

6. Fresh, organic whole foods; focusing on lean protein, nuts and seeds, mushrooms, onions, leafy greens, pro/prebiotics, sea moss gel, etc.

7. Russian manicures and pedicures or a good acrylic set. Dip powder had its thing for a while but I’m not going to dip my nail in a powder everyone else dipped their nails. I bet they don’t even wash their hands and if they did, they prob didn’t even use soap.

8. Laser hair removal. Everywhere. If you want a design down there that’s cool, but you literally use the bathroom and it drips in the hair. “Oh but I use a wipe”. Okay, next time you need to wash your hair.. don’t use shampoo. Use a wipe. Invest in a bidet but still, hair shouldn’t be in your 🍑 or near the sensitive areas of your 🦋 the top is fine but if you have a period, pee, or “the other thing”, hair should be no where near those areas.

9. Lip filler. Everyone can benefit. Ask for a pout that sticks out a little bit. I don’t suggest a lip flip, I couldn’t do anything with a lip flip and it was driving me nuts.

10. Fake tan. Sunlight is fine but a spray tan just makes you look a million times better. Every skin tone and every race benefits from a spray tan. Trust.

11. Muscle definition. Muscle looks so much better than fat AND bones. You want muscle. Did you see how Bella Hadid had her foot on our necks at the VS fashion show this year? I was sickkkkkk.

12. Long hair. But if you have a face shape like Hailey Beiber, short hair looks better.

13. Makeup. Remember water-based products and oil-based products don’t mix, so make sure you choose your products wisely so your makeup doesn’t separate and you look a mess.

14. A better paying job. I left my hospital job and now I work in luxury real estate and international yacht sales.

15. Red light therapy for face and body. I have a body red light therapy dome that I got online for around $3,000 (USD) and it’s life. The one I have for the face is from Sephora and I spent like $400-$500 on that one. Whatever it says on the website.

16. Lashes. If you’re a pro at strip lashes, then yes. But I get my lashes done. Do not go crazy. Natural lashes are in so I ask for a classic whispy set focused for thickening my lash line and NOT for length.

17. Morpheus8 for skin tightening. I used it on my inner thighs and it literally saved my life

18. Lipo. If you’re a good candidate, get it. Sometimes belly pooch is hard to lose. I don’t have a pooch but I’m sure when I have kids I will.

19. Vampire facials. I can confidently say my best facials were vampire facials. My med spa charges around $950 for each facial

20. People can tell you’re wearing Shein. Their clothes are cute online but I’m going to hold your hand when I say this, they never look flattering in person when they’re being worn. People can see the loose thread and the see-through material. They also don’t fit anyone well and makes a lot of you look square. You get what you pay for in clothing. Learn about the basics of clothing and you’ll quickly only buy quality.

Yeah this list isn’t meant for everyone, but walking 10,000 steps isn’t going to take you to the next level. Neither is drinking water. They’re good habits, but they’re not going to level you up. And yeah I understand my list requires having money, but this is literally what my blog is about.

My 2025 Mindset Level Up book is here!

DUBAI REAL ESTATE: CAN YOU RENT or BUY as a Foreigner

Should I Rent or Buy in Dubai as a Foreigner?

This article explores foreigners' crucial question when moving to Dubai: whether to rent or buy. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing this decision, ensuring readers are well-equipped to make an informed choice. Here's what you'll learn:

Understanding the Dubai Real Estate Market: Insights into the dynamics, including price fluctuations and legal frameworks for foreigners.

Legal Considerations: A look at the legal aspects of renting versus buying, including rights and regulations for foreign nationals.

Financial Implications: Analysis of the financial commitments involved in renting vs. buying, covering upfront costs, ongoing expenses, and potential returns on investment.

Lifestyle Considerations - Discuss how your lifestyle and duration of stay in Dubai can impact your decision.

Investment Perspective: Evaluating buying property as an investment opportunity, including location, property type, and market conditions.

The Role of Go Real Estate: Introduction to Go Real Estate as a key partner for foreigners navigating the Dubai real estate market, highlighting their expertise and services.

Making the Decision: Guidance on assessing personal and financial readiness for renting or buying, emphasising long-term planning and lifestyle preferences.

By the end of the article, readers will clearly understand Dubai's rent vs. buy debate, learn to navigate the real estate market confidently and know how Go Real Estate can assist in their journey.

Understanding the Dubai Real Estate Market

Dubai's real estate market is dynamic, with variations in the oil market and worldwide economic trends influencing property prices. For example, house values often increase in line with oil costs. Nonetheless, strict rules have been put in place by the local government to preserve market stability, making it a haven for investors. The purpose of these restrictions is to ease the concerns of overseas investors. 

For instance, there are now more options for foreign purchasers due to the expansion of freehold zones, where foreigners can acquire real estate. Consequently, a balanced market appeals to those wanting a peaceful beachside house and those searching for a luxury apartment in the city's heart. Due to its diligent strategy, Dubai has become a desirable location for real estate investment, providing investors with the security of stable government-backed conditions and the thrill of a fast-paced market.

Legal Considerations for Foreigners in UAE

Dubai's property regulations have been modernised, making it easy for foreigners to enter the real estate market. For instance, in specific locations, referred to as "freehold zones," such as the exclusive Jumeirah or the Dubai Marina, you can buy real estate entirely as an international buyer. Renting is equally simple, with laws that protect the rights of both landlords and tenants. This also includes rental agreements and predetermined plans for raising rent.

It's essential to get familiar with these rules, such as the one that grants you the right to occupy a home as long as there's an active lease agreement. Whether your goal is to rent a family-friendly villa in a gated community or buy a 2-bedroom downtown apartment, this legal foundation lays the way for a simple and safe property transaction. Knowing these guidelines in Dubai's real estate market enables you to make informed decisions.

Short and Long-Term Financial Implications

Two options become apparent while navigating the financial elements of Dubai's real estate market: either purchase as a long-term investment or rent for flexibility and cheaper initial costs. People looking for short-term solutions or who value being able to move around easily are drawn to renting. 

For example, leasing a chic apartment in Business Bay, Dubai, may avoid the significant financial load of purchasing. On the other hand, buying real estate, such as a Palm Jumeirah villa, requires a more substantial down payment but offers the potential for future value increase and rental income. This option is appropriate for those who want to settle down in Dubai or who are looking to invest in real estate as a source of income. Whether cutting down on upfront costs or investing in a future source of earnings, each route has its financial advantages, so it's important to consider your long-term goals and objectives before deciding.

Lifestyle Considerations

Your lifestyle choices and length of stay are factors to consider while looking at real estate in Dubai, UAE. Renting is an appealing choice for people or families who value swiftly adjusting to changes in life or prefer short-to-medium-term visits. It allows the freedom to explore other districts without committing to a long-term arrangement, such as the calm Arabian Ranches or the bustling Dubai Marina. Renters benefit from the ease of relocating without having to deal with the headache of selling a home and usually have fewer maintenance obligations since the landlord usually takes care of these.

If someone wants to invest in their future or wants a permanent base, purchasing a property in Dubai is a good option. Being a homeowner allows you to customise your place completely, from minimal expansions to large renovations, making it your ideal home. It is also a wise investment since houses in desirable areas such as The Springs have the potential to grow significantly and, if leased out, may provide passive income. Whether you're here for a short while or want to make Dubai your permanent home, matching your housing preferences to your way of life will make your stay rewarding and pleasurable.

Consult Real Estate Experts in Business Bay

It could be difficult to figure out Dubai's hectic real estate market, particularly for visitors from other countries. Go Real Estate shines in this situation, providing superior knowledge and assistance. With their large property inventory and in-depth market expertise, you can find the perfect apartment in the centre of Dubai Marina or purchase a beachfront mansion in Palm Jumeirah. Their team of highly experienced professionals is committed to helping customers navigate the complexities of the legal system, the negotiating process, and property selection. 

Go Real Estate takes great satisfaction in providing individualised services that help customers find the perfect houses or investment possibilities, ensuring a seamless transition from property browsing to purchase or rental. Dubai’s number one real estate agents are essential partners in your search for real estate because of their unwavering dedication to quality, which guarantees that customers not only locate their ideal home but also easily navigate the subtleties of the local market.

Why Choose Go Real Estate?

Choosing Go Real Estate brings specialised real estate guidance that precisely matches your requirements. Imagine buying a gated villa in the peaceful Arabian Ranches or an apartment with a swimming pool near Downtown Dubai. Go can make your dreams come true. Their comprehensive method addresses all aspects, ranging from providing incisive legal guidance that adeptly navigates the intricacies of property regulations to doing an exhaustive market study that guarantees you're making an educated buy at the optimal price. 

Following your purchase, their after-sales assistance never wavers, helping you with any questions or requirements while you adjust to your new home or look after your investment. Whether you're purchasing your ideal house or making long-term investments, Go Real Estate's end-to-end service commitment solidifies its reputation as a trustworthy partner for foreign customers and makes navigating Dubai's real estate market easier.

Making the Decision With Dubai Investment Consultants

Deciding whether to rent or buy in Dubai hinges on evaluating your financial health, how you prefer to live, and what you envision for your future. 

Financial readiness isn't just about having the funds for a purchase or deposit; it's about understanding the ongoing costs associated with your choice. Lifestyle preferences vary widely – some may value the flexibility and lower responsibility of renting, especially if they're not planning to stay long-term. Others might prioritise the permanence and personal touch that ownership can bring, especially if they're looking at Dubai as a long-term home or investment opportunity. 

Engaging with a real estate company like Go Real can shed light on these considerations if you're at a crossroads. They can offer personalised advice, helping you weigh the pros and cons based on your situation, ultimately guiding you toward the best decision for your circumstances.

Key Takeaways

The government regulations help stabilise and attract foreign investment.

Dubai's real estate laws have been updated to allow foreigners to buy in designated freehold zones, simplifying the buying and renting processes and offering legal protections.

Financially, renting in Dubai can offer lower initial costs and flexibility, while buying presents a long-term investment opportunity with the potential for capital appreciation and rental income.

Your lifestyle preferences and how long you plan to stay in Dubai will significantly influence whether renting or buying is the best option for you.

Partnering with Go Real can provide valuable insights and assistance, from navigating legal considerations to understanding the financial implications of your decision.

Conclusion

The dilemma of renting vs. buying in Dubai is more than a financial calculation; it's a choice that resonates with your lifestyle, aspirations, and long-term objectives. By thoroughly assessing your personal and financial situation, and ideally, with the support of Go Real Estate's expertise, you're better positioned to make a choice that meets your current needs and supports your future goals. 

Dubai's real estate landscape is rich with opportunities, each offering its unique flexibility, stability, luxury, and investment potential. Whether you enjoy the adaptability of renting or embrace the long-term benefits of ownership, your journey in the Dubai real estate mar

ket is bound to be rewarding, provided you approach it with the right information and expert advice.

well first capital is money for making more money.

so if you have five dollars and you go to the store to buy lemonade to drink, that five dollars is just money. but if you use that five dollars to start a lemonade stand and make twenty five dollars, then that five dollars was capital. same with buying a home to live in vs buying a house as a real estate investment, etc.

next an ism is “a distinctive practice, system, or philosophy, typically a political ideology or an artistic movement.” in the case of capitalism, we’re talking about the overarching philosophy of our culture/society. it is what everything revolves around. so if you take feudalism 600+ years ago in western europe, the king and the aristocratic hierarchy were what dominated every aspect of society. it would be impossible to understand any aspect of feudal europe while ignoring the monarchy and aristocracy.

so, capitalism is when our culture/society holds up the making of money above all else. specifically capital, money for making more money. it is the highest good, the most important thing, people who have capital are good and people who do not have capital are bad.

Stamp duty is a tax levied on the property’s market value or the agreement value (whichever is higher), while registration charges are the fees paid to register the property’s legal documents in your name with the government. Think of it as the official "seal of ownership" on your dream property.

How Are Stamp Duty and Registration Charges Calculated?

The charges are based on the property's value. Here’s the current breakdown for Chennai:

Stamp Duty: 7% of the property’s market value.

Registration Charges: 4% of the property’s market value.

Example: If you’re purchasing a villa plot for sale in Chennai worth ₹50 lakhs, here’s what you’ll pay:

Stamp Duty: ₹3,50,000 (7% of ₹50,00,000)

Registration Charge: ₹2,00,000 (4% of ₹50,00,000)

Total: ₹5,50,000

These charges can add a significant amount to your total cost, so it’s essential to budget for them in advance.

Factors That Affect Stamp Duty and Registration Charges

Location of Property: Stamp duty may vary depending on whether the property is within a municipal or panchayat area.

Type of Property: Residential properties often have rates that are different from commercial ones.

Market Value: If the property’s market value rises, so do your charges.

Yes, certain categories of buyers may get relief. For instance:

Women Buyers: Some states, including Tamil Nadu, offer reduced stamp duty for women buyers, often around 1% less than the standard rate.

Government Schemes: In some cases, first-time homebuyers may be eligible for certain exemptions or rebates under government initiatives.

Buyers are encouraged to check with the local sub-registrar's office or consult with experienced real estate developers like Elephantine Enterprises Pvt. Ltd. (EEPL) to understand if they qualify for any available benefits.

Solar compared to traditional investments

While solar panels aren't exactly stocks or bonds, they do represent an investment in your home and your future. Here's a breakdown of how solar energy stacks up against traditional investments:

Financial Considerations:

Upfront Costs vs. Investment Capital: Solar panels cost a chunk of change upfront, like a down payment on a new house. But unlike a house, solar panels start saving you money (on your electricity bill) pretty quickly. The cost varies depending on system size, location, and brand. However, unlike a down payment, solar panels can start generating returns (through electricity bill savings) relatively quickly. (Source: Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA):: https://www.seia.org/)

Return on Investment (ROI): Solar panels are like an investment that pays you back! It might take 6-12 years, but eventually, the money you save on your electricity bill will make up for the panels' cost. Think of it like paying for a season pass to an amusement park - after a while, you've ridden enough rides that it's worth the price! Solar offers a potentially quicker return than traditional investments with longer ROI timelines (e.g., real estate). (Source: National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL):: https://www.nrel.gov/)

Appreciation: Thinking of selling your house someday? Slap on some solar panels! Studies show houses with solar power can sell for more moolah than ones without. It's like adding a cool upgrade to your house that buyers love! This appreciation can be considered an additional return on your investment.

Government Incentives: The government wants to help you shine bright with solar power! Many places offer discounts (like coupons!) or cash back (like getting some money back after you buy something) to help you afford solar panels. This can make them a whole lot cheaper upfront! These incentives can be viewed as a financial "boost" similar to an investment with a high initial interest rate. (Source: Department of Energy (DOE):: https://www.energy.gov/solar)

Shaya Seidenfeld Explains Smart Property Buying Tips

Buying property is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, whether it's your first home or an investment opportunity. With so much at stake, it’s important to approach the process with a clear strategy and a well-informed mindset. Shaya Seidenfeld, a seasoned real estate expert, shares essential tips to help make smart property buying choices. 

From setting your budget to understanding market trends, these practical steps will help guide you toward a successful purchase.

1. Set a Realistic Budget

One of the first steps in purchasing a property is determining your budget. Shaya Seidenfeld emphasizes the importance of understanding not only the purchase price but also the additional costs involved, such as:

Closing fees

Property taxes

Homeowners insurance

Maintenance and repair costs

“It’s crucial to be honest with yourself about what you can afford. Don’t stretch your finances too thin, or you may find yourself struggling later,” advises Shaya. Create a budget that allows you to comfortably cover these expenses while leaving room for unforeseen costs.

2. Know Your Must-Haves vs. Nice-to-Haves

Before you start viewing properties, make a list of your priorities. What features are non-negotiable, and what are simply nice bonuses? Shaya recommends considering factors such as:

Location

Number of bedrooms and bathrooms

Proximity to work or schools

Outdoor space

Future resale value

Understanding what you truly need versus what would be nice to have will help narrow down your options and keep you focused on properties that meet your essential criteria.

3. Research the Market

Knowledge is power when it comes to real estate. Shaya Seidenfeld stresses the importance of researching the local market to understand current trends. Look at recent sales in the area to gauge property values and get a sense of what you can expect to pay.

“Understanding market trends will help you make informed offers and avoid overpaying,” says Shaya. Pay attention to factors like how long properties stay on the market and whether prices are rising or falling.

4. Get Pre-Approved for a Mortgage

Before you start making offers, it’s wise to get pre-approved for a mortgage. A pre-approval letter shows sellers that you are a serious buyer and gives you a clear idea of how much you can borrow.

Shaya explains, “Being pre-approved gives you a competitive edge, especially in hot markets where multiple buyers may be interested in the same property.” It also speeds up the buying process once you’ve found your ideal home.

5. Work with a Knowledgeable Real Estate Agent

A good real estate agent can be a game-changer in your property buying journey. Shaya Seidenfeld emphasizes choosing someone who knows the local market well and understands your needs.

“A knowledgeable agent will guide you through the process, help negotiate the best deal, and ensure that you don’t overlook important details,” says Shaya. Look for someone with a strong track record and good communication skills.

6. Don’t Skip the Home Inspection

Even if a property looks perfect, it’s essential to have a professional home inspection done before finalizing the purchase. Shaya warns that hidden issues can turn your dream home into a nightmare if not caught early.

“A home inspection can uncover potential problems, from structural issues to outdated electrical systems,” he says. Knowing these details upfront allows you to negotiate repairs or adjust your offer accordingly.

7. Keep Emotions in Check

It’s easy to get emotionally attached to a property, but Shaya advises staying grounded and objective throughout the process.

“Falling in love with a home can cloud your judgment,” he explains. “Make sure your decision is based on practical considerations rather than just emotional attachment.” Stick to your budget and prioritize your needs over impulses.

8. Consider Future Growth and Development

When evaluating a property, think about its potential for future growth. Is the area experiencing development? Are new amenities or infrastructure projects planned?

Shaya points out that buying in an up-and-coming neighborhood can be a smart move for long-term value. “Properties in developing areas often appreciate faster, giving you a better return on your investment,” he notes.

Final Thoughts

Buying a property can be both exciting and overwhelming, but following these smart tips from Shaya Seidenfeld will help you navigate the process with confidence. By setting a budget, doing your research, and staying level-headed, you can find a property that fits your needs and sets you up for long-term success.

Remember, informed decisions are smart decisions. Take your time, ask questions, and trust the process. Happy house hunting!
