I Wish I Wasn’t on a Budget Diet

I went on a budget diet because of some changes at work. I’ve been really good about not shopping. With any business sometimes you have to cut down on personal expenses and this is one of those times for me. I’m sure it happens in every business like a hospital moving around funds for a new medication cart.

However, the one store that always gets to me is Coldwater Creek. Right now they’re having a 50% off outlet sale. It ends Tuesday so hurry. A lot of the tops that I’ve wanted that started out at $50-$90 are now down to $11-$25. However, since I don’t technically need any of it I’m still on my budget diet.

Cute or Tacky?

The first time I saw the trend of headbands with large fake flowers on them I just thought it was adorable. At first these were just stretch headbands with large flowers on them for babies. All of those pictures of kids wearing flowers bigger than their heads were just adorable.

However, at least in Utah I’ve been seeing this trend all over; even on senior citizens. Usually they just use floral clips or smaller wire headbands. However, to me it just looks so juvenile even if everyone is wearing it. It’s hard to take anyone seriously who is wearing one of these because I wonder if they stole it from their kid. Are people wearing these where you live?

A Castle for a Princess

I know that a princess usually lives in a castle. I am still a princess but I live in an apartment; granted it’s a nice apartment. Whether you’re looking for Calgary apartments or Utah apartments this is what makes it suitable for a princess. As I’ve gotten older and homeownership still isn’t in sight I’ve learned the importance of being happy with that fact. It also helps to do a fair bit of internet searching to find about possibilities that won’t be in the newspaper.

When visiting the RentCalgary.com site there were several things that stood out to me. First off it just took one click to find the right place on a map. It’s quite easy to narrow down the searches to your desired neighborhood. Then it’s simple to choose your desired price point and how many bedrooms you want from a few drop down menus. There was also different types of rentals to choose from such as basement apartments to entire houses. With a little bit of savvy every princess can find a suitable castle.
