How to Save Money Dining Out
The other day, I was going through my Mint.com budget to realize, after some sweet, much-needed work clothes I bought, my Entertainment budget was one of my highest expenses! My Entertainment budget is mostly made up of eating out expenses, including drinks. For some reason, that’s B and my indulgence: trying out new restaurants around town (aka going to our 3 favorite places over and over again Continue Reading
3 Free Photo Resources for Bloggers
One of the biggest challenges when I was trying to get on my feet as a serious blogger was finding good, quality images for my blog posts. In case you haven’t realized it yet, images on your site are very important. Not only can they connect your post to the photo, but they’re also appealing to look at, break up text, and (my favorite) can drive tons of traffic to your blog through Pinterest (if Continue Reading
4 Specific Ways to Perfect Your Posture
Your parents were right: standing up straight really is important! If you’d like to live out your years hunched over, walking slowly, and in chronic pain, ignore this post at your peril. However, if you’d like to live with full vitality, it’s really important you use this post to your ultimate advantage.

Sin Stocks: Investing for the Wicked
I’ve made it one of my goals to invest more, as I learned that instead of owing the government, I could have just invested more in my IRA account. Since that debacle, I’ve made it these year’s goal to increase the amount I invest - beyond what I save for my emergency fund. Luckily, my emergency fund is going well, as is saving (and planning for) the wedding, so I think I’ll be able to actually Continue Reading
Tax Mistakes I Made This Year
Remember how I mentioned during my last Weekly Update that I was going to do my taxes? Well, that went spectacularly. And when I say “spectacularly”, I actually mean it went horribly. I did them, and I did them right, but my plan really backfired on me because I ended up owing both the state and the federal government money (a few hundred dollars total). So how did it backfire on me exactly? I 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? Yes please!), so I wasn't going to argue with that suggestion! However, I had the sneaking suspicion that getting a reservation at the Melting Pot only a few Continue Reading
4 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Gym Clothes
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. I like cotton t-shirts, moisture-wicking pants/shorts and socks, and shoes that, you know, don’t squeeze the top of my toes too much when I run. I love buying clothes and Continue Reading
