Your skin is your body’s largest organ, so it makes sense to protect it, right? Unfortunately, when the sun’s out and the weather is great, so many of us take our skin for granted. Especially after a severe, prolonged winter, who wants to think about (or who even remembers!) to wear sunscreen? I’ll save you the lecture about why wearing sunscreen is important to protect your skin, Continue Reading

Frugal Mother’s Day Ideas
Mother’s Day is around the corner, which means you’re probably getting bombarded by ads telling you to buy things for Mom. Yeah, jewelry stores, I’m definitely going to buy my Mom those earrings that cost more than my engagement ring. Seriously, is that a thing? Mass consumerism aside, most people do something for Mother’s Day. However, a lot of the typical Mother’s Day celebrations usually Continue Reading
Is a Personal Trainer Worth It?
There are a lot of pros to hiring a personal trainer to coach you through exercise, but one reason why many people don’t have personal trainers is that they are expensive. In the list of things you “have” to pay for, personal trainers fall way, way low on that list. In fact, I’m willing to bet a lot of people consider a personal trainer part of their disposable income costs, and whether or not Continue Reading
Frugal Valentine’s Day Date Ideas
The other day, B suggested we go out to The Melting Pot for Valentine’s Day dinner. We had just gone out last weekend to celebrate our engagement, but The Melting Pot is one of my favorite places in the world (melted chocolate?

In my quest to lead a healthier lifestyle, I’ve been going for New York Tennis Lessons and to the gym more often for exercise. I don’t know about you, but I have specific “gym clothes” I wear when I get in the zone to work out.

This time of year in Phoenix, AZ is perfect: temperatures in the 60s and 70s, the patios are open, and hey, you can still even go swimming if you really want to. Phoenix is so nice this time of the year, the Arizona Office of Tourism has spent the last two years marketing Arizona in Chicago by placing giant sunglasses and flip-flops around the city.

How to Avoid Getting Scammed This Season
It’s that time of year again: the holidays are upon us and, if you’re anything like most Americans, you’ve probably already started your holiday shopping. Polls show the average American this year is planning on spending around $500 on family and loved ones this year for the holidays. However, what if you or a loved one isn’t into getting ‘stuff’? For example, my Dad. My dad says he Continue Reading
