Note – my freelance income does not include my PT job income. It is strictly from my design business or income generated from this blog.

Not to say that my week wasn’t spendy, since I spent $276.53, but I made $330 in extra income (above and beyond my FT and even my PT job) so I’m extremely pleased with that. It kind of justifies spending so much on my hair cut! That’s at least $25 more than I usually spend, but the stylist did an excellent job. Still, I think the next time I’m going to go back to the cheaper salon. Even though I don’t cut my hair all that often, I don’t think I should spend more than $50 each time since I never do anything outrageous. I thought about getting my hair cut quite short and adding bangs (which is why I opted for a senior stylist), but in the end I chickened out and just got a freshening up of my current style. :)

Sunday’s spending was kind of a gong show. My sister treated me to bubble tea the night before, so I picked up her coffee in the morning and her lunch. We also went shopping in the afternoon and all I ended up buying was some candy and a new lip gloss and mascara (both were on sale by 30%).
