Beauty Budget Challenge Update
So I’m participating in the April Challenge over at Krystal’s blog. This month I have challenged myself not to spend more than $60 on health & beauty products. I know that seems like a lot, but with spring here it’s time to refresh everything. And I’ve also been running out of some of the things…

Geek it out! Jenny Craig Style
Ok so maybe this is going a little bit overboard (?) but I’m setting up an excel spreadsheet to calculate my proposed Jenny Craig menus so I can control costs better. I didn’t mention this before, but it costs on average $150/week or $600/month to eat on JC. It sucks the big one for sure!…

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas
Mother’s Day is coming up soon, so I’ve been thinking of what I can get mummy dearest for her special day. In the past I’ve gotten her spa packages, pedicures, manis, etc. but it’s getting a bit old in my opinion. And also now that I’m on Jenny Craig I just can’t afford that much…

Think in Pink?
Spring must be in the air… I am finding myself oddly attracted to pink again! Today I volunteered at a marketing conference all day, and in return they gave me a $50 gift card for the Eaton Centre! Yay! So I went with my coworker N to blow our cards on something frivolous. We were…

Financial Update
So, I’ve updated my progress bars to the right, there. I’ve made a couple of stupid moves lately, so I’m in money-saving mode right now. I’m not in debt and probably never will be, but right now I feel as though I haven’t been diligent enough in managing my money. Bad Ginger! Anyway, since I…

PayPal = DEATH GLARE
I hate PayPal and eBay now. It’s official. They dick you around and steal your money, all without you having a clue to what’s going on. Long story short is that I tried selling some of my clothing on eBay (since it’s nice stuff and too big [yay!] for me now). Most of it sold…

JC Update
Well, I’m quite overdue for my promised post on my Jenny Craig diet. I signed up a couple of weeks ago in the hopes that it will help me shed about 80 lbs. total. I know! That’s a lot! You see, I’m ok in the exercise area; living in Toronto I walk almost everywhere, and…

Bloody + Hell
aha! It isn’t what you think! I’ll bet you thought I was speaking negatively about something… you’d be wrong! I just got back from Evil Dead: The Musical and I’m covered in ooey gooey sticky blood and it’s fantastic! I am not a big fan of musicals most of the time, but this really knocked…

Best Health Event
So! I am writing this and I must say I look absolutely gorgeous, dahhhling! Why the big head, you ask? Well my friends, I just got back from the Best Health Magazine launch at Muzik Club. Let me tell you, that place is pretty damn swanky! Apparently all the stars hang out there when they’re…

Easter Weekend
Well, I had a great Easter weekend this time around, but unfortunately I’ve blown not only my diet but my budget to hell as well! Bummer. The diet woes started on Thursday, I went out with the people from work to Hooters for the night… much beer and fried chicken products ensued. Friday I had…
