But…when it comes to them wanting that jingle in your pocket…are they friends or foes to your wallet? Why is it that the most casual of acquaintances depend so dearly on your appearance to one of their Tupperware, lingerie party, Mary Kay type events? It starts out with a seemingly sweet invite to their house for a glass of wine and after you accept with gratitude, then….bammmmm….your ‘friend’ informs you that 20 other people will be there and you will have such a fun night viewing skimpy lingerie!

Excuses?!

Uhhhhh….now what do you do? Your head is swirling and your mind is spinning out of control trying to figure out how to get out of it?! You are thinking….but but but…I don’t wear skimpy lingerie! I don’t want skimpy lingerie! I can’t afford lingerie that will end up wadded up in the back of a drawer.

What You Really Want

I want my old worn out sweatshirt and sweatpants. I want to wear that one curler I wear on top of my head….I want my nice thick coat of night cream on my face when I sleep…I’m trying to save every extra penny for the vacation I’ve been dreaming about.… Keep reading

JK Rowling quotes that empower your life will help to give you that little push when you’re ready to give up.

JK Rowling Quotes have always been a source of reflection for me.

As a mom or business owner, we all need some added support!

During tough times, we can look to the greats who have pulled themselves out of the darkness and into success despite setbacks, failures, and rejection.

JK Rowling credits most of her success to a period of hitting rock bottom. From those depths, she created a world of wonder, one page at a time.

JK Rowling quotes are here to brighten your day.

Do you like your new handbag? Of course, I do….Does it make you genuinely happy? No. There’s a new ailment that confounds worth with wealth. Whoever said that money makes them happy is lying.

Unconventional paths are viewed as a less safe road traveled and people are pushing you to accumulate money rather than leading you to happiness or self-discovery. If JK Rowling was scared we would have missed out on a legacy.… Keep reading

Ex-Waitress Secrets to Eating Cheap. Full bellies, Fat Wallets. This is how you need to eat to get the best restaurant deals. The Rising Damsel Spending your hard-earned money on dining out can be such a drain on your wallet. All the little extras you order in a restaurant blow up your bill, and good service is never guaranteed. I drool thinking about food, read menus for the sport of it and eat more than I should. I’ve had to figure out how to eat often, and for less money. Use my secrets to keep that cash in your pocket.

1. Go to Places With No Waiters

No waiters = no need to tip. Many new restaurants are focusing on a ‘fast casual’ model, and we benefit from it. Unlimited refills, extra sauces, as many napkins as you want, no one bothering you to order more, it’s a total family win.

If you don’t want to tip or you can’t, here are a few delicious options for you: Panera, PeiWei, Noodles & Company, Chipotle, Pizzeria Locale, Garbanzo’s, Jason’s Deli, and Qdoba. For 2 people you can eat some pretty unique cuisine, and it’s for a fraction of the cost of sitting down in a fancier restaurant. My fiancé and I challenge ourselves to spend less than $15. Getting your significant other onboard to save, definitely makes it easier and more fun.… Keep reading
