Give Me Back My Five Bucks

I’m thinking that I’m going to start posting weekly spending recaps. It might be a bit of overkill considering I already post monthly budgets & recaps, but I think I need it to keep me accountable for my spending. I really want to make sure I stay within my  monthly budget and save as much as I know that I can. So starting right now, every Monday I will recap my previous Monday-Sunday spending.

So I’ve been using Skyn products on my face for the past 3 months. I’m using the day cream, night cream, eye cream and face wash. And you know what?

It just seems rude, and I really like spending time with … Continue reading →

This weekend I don’t have much planned. I want to workout really hard both days, and I might help BF with his ongoing renovation project. But other than that? Not a whole heck of a lot is going on here. So I’ve compiled my usual Weekend To Do List. :) Go to the gym on Saturday & Sunday – at least 60 min cardio each day, as well as weights, abs & stretching Go on a walk (at least 1 hour long) Do laundry Go to the library – need reading material! Clean up desk area Clean up kitchen Put … Continue reading →
