Making Some Changes

Happy Friday Everyone! (Even though I have to work tomorrow)

I was doing a little bit of blogging research yesterday after I wrote the previous post, I just wanted some tips on

 how to  make a cool blog and have it not be totally boring. I found some good tips but one that stood out was finding a subject for your blog, might it be fashion, healthy living, video games or whatever else strikes your fancy. I don't want this to be my rambling/bitching blog, that's not fun. I decided I'd dedicate this blog to my life as the new and improved budgeting/frugal girl. I'll share with you my triumphs and disappointments which I'm sure there will be. 

One thing I also was thinking about doing was a "my favorite thing" part where each day I put one of my favorites things. Anyone who knows me, knows I am a creature of habit, once I find something I love, I stick with it and have a hard time "trying new things." I'll share with you my favorite makeup, clothes/brands, food, coffee and everything else in between because trust me, I do have a lot of favorite things. 

Since I have to start getting ready for work, it's gonna be a short post but since it was payday, I started my budget. Since my bank account was overdrafted, I didn't get my full paycheck which was very frustrating.. but live and learn. I went to the bank and took out cash for gas to cover next week and got cash out for my one and only coffee that I will be able to have :( Since my paycheck was less, I wasn't able to put $15 for coffee, and $30 for dinner out so I'm going to have to go without. It feels good to have a plan but I know it's going to be tough, I'm definitely going to find ways to be frugal and cheap. 

That's all for now :) 

But I will post "my favorite thing:"

My Viva La Juicy Perfume

This stuff is amazinggg, it smells fantastic and it stays on you all day and I can still smell it on my clothes at the end of day, love it :) 

Notes:

Wild Berries, Mandarins, Honeysuckle, Gardenia, Jasmine, Amber, Caramel, Vanilla, Sandalwood, Praline.

Hope everyone has a good day, I'm at work till 8pm :(

Hi, I'm Kaylene and I'm addicted to spending money...

Hello everyone!

I have came to a startling realization that I have a major money problem, I knew I always have had an insatiable appetite for everything designer but now it seems to be coming to the surface. I spend my money like a drunken sailor and it has to stop. I have decided no more $0 bank account, no more daily latte habit, and no more wining and dining like I'm a millionaire. 

I'm a student, I live at home and I work part time, I can't be rich too along with that. Right now, going to school is my main priority and I need to be okay with making some sacrifices in the mean time. Hopefully, when I graduate from college, I can buy a new car myself, have a place of my own, shop without worry at my favorite stores but from this point on, it's hitting the sales rack, eating at home, drinking beer instead of expensive girly drinks. I have made a budget for  myself and I will be sticking to it.

My mom has always told me....Money and things don't make a person who they are. All nice things are great but if your going broke having them, what's the enjoyment in that? I think I have great qualities, does it make me any better of a person because I'm dressed from head to toe in clothes that cost a whole month's mortgage? So here goes nothin...I know this sounds extreme but it's something that has to be done for me..and my family( who is getting sick of me being broke)

I don't know if you have heard of xanga. com but it's also a blogging website...but I'm obsessed with visiting their site and looking at peoples profiles with just quotes and photographs

Xanga Groups

...And then type in either quotes or photographs.. 

Here's some of my faves: 

the truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. you just have to find the ones worth suffering for. -bob marley 

You've gotten so caught up in being alone that you're afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.

I can’t rely on men. Doesn’t mean I don’t love them. Doesn’t mean I walk out. Just means I adjust my expectations. Men are weak.

Love love love this show...

 The sad thing is we're never happy with what we've got. We're silly, selfish, and naive always believing that things could be so much better when really, this is the best it'll get. It's no wonder why love never lasts. It's because we're always taking it up that notch and expecting something magnificent. Perfect. Well let me tell you something - there's no such thing as perfection.
