Pictures and Money Update

Since I started this blog I've been carrying my camera around with me much more. Here are some pics I've taken around the house lately:

A super yummy breakfast I made for myself the other day and the book I was reading (I just finished it and it was awesome).

 Two of my puppies. Somehow all of our throw pillows get shoved to the end of the couch and the dogs like to sleep on them. How silly do they look?

 I did my makeup for work yesterday and I really liked it. This picture is withe the flash, so it looks a bit washed out.

 Me and my sunnies without the flash this time. I like how my bronzer and blush combo turned out.

 My outfit today. Ugh. Not the best, but it was bloody hot outside and jeans were just not an option. And why am I wearing an scarf in 90 degree weather?

 The other puppy. I swear all they do is sleep.

Also, if you're interested in my money update, I did go to the thrift stores and picked up some much needed shorts and two tops. I also got some face powder and body wash at a discount store. All in all, it was under $20. I know I said I wasn't going to spend any money, but I have been doing so much better than I normally do. I usually shop every time I am at work and that is at the mall so it adds up very quickly. I haven't been doing that lately so I congratulate myself. Hhahha.



'Money Diet'

My mom always says we need to go on a 'money diet' and typically I nod and smile and then promptly go to the store and spend loads of money on items I really don't need. Well, not this time. I am actually going cut down on what I spend. This may seem like an easy task for some, but as my friends well know it's not going to be easy for me. Whenever I go out I spend money. I can't go into a shop without finding something that I 'have to have.' In fact today I bought more eyeshadow. I have so much eyeshadow I could stock a drugstore, but I 'needed' that new gold one. I need to save for a car, not buy eyeshadow or movies or purses or shirts or whatever else I happen to see that I 'can't live without.' I was going to give myself a goal of a month of no spending, but that might be pretty difficult for this shopaholic. I have decided that I am going on a 'money diet' til April 22. Why April 22? I have a concert that day and I know I am going to go a little crazy at the merch booth that day. I soooo want a Black Keys shirt or a Ting Tings shirt, or a Garbage shirt. Yeah they are all going to be there. I can hardly contain my excitement. Anywho, I am going to cut down on my spending until the concert and hopefully be able to save some money. I feel that starting out small with a short time period is probably the best for me. Now I know myself and I know that it will be impossible for me to start out cold turkey, so I have decided to make myself a list of items I can buy until my April 22 deadline. So here it is:
1. Jack White's new album

2. M. Ward's new album

3. A Pair of Shorts for the Concert

4. A Red Box Rental or Two

Wish me luck. I sure am going to need it. :-)
