I went to Five Below today. Five Below originally only had items below $5.00. That is no longer the case – many things are now $10.00. They have an array of creative candy.

Chocolate Avocado

I wrote a poem about avochocolate when I was 19 years old (I had to open a word-perfect document to access it!) I didn’t get chocolate avocado dip at Dollar Tree, but it did cost $0.99 at a local grocery store! Avochocolate What if Rather than the beloved Cocoa plant, Avocado was our exploited delicacy,…
Self-Improvement
Posted on
This year, I’ve been trying to improve my outlook, my attitude, and my life. I’ve been reading books about habits: essentially if you change small habits throughout your day, you will change your life. I’m currently reading BJ Fogg’s book, “Tiny Habits.” Fogg discusses a woman who wakes up every morning at 4:30 a.m. to…
Goals – an Update!
Posted on
I had a lot of New Year’s Resolutions this year! Here’s an update: Volunteering: I want to volunteer at least twice a month in 2020: once each month at the animal shelter, and one additional time. In February, I volunteered for a race for the first time. Volunteering at a race is more fun than…
Saving $ Tree

I haven’t posted about saving money in a while, but I do think of myself as thrifty (somewhat). Here are some things I do to save money: I don’t have many regular bills. I even tried to cancel Sirius XM but they keep giving me discounts! My gym membership is cheap. The upgraded membership includes…
Be a Volunteer!
Posted on
One of my goals in 2020 is to volunteer more often. I don’t volunteer much. Here’s why: I don’t like boring volunteer shifts where I sit around watching the clock. I don’t like long volunteer shifts. An ideal length of time is maybe 1.5 hours. After that, I get antsy. I don’t want to be…
Hello Fresh #2
Posted on
I am having so much fun with Hello Fresh! These boxes are kind of like vegetarian cooking lessons, except I don’t have to stand around in a class with an annoying instructor and wear a stupid apron. My next attempt at Hello Fresh was Chickpea-Powered Mediterranean Couscous. Again, it was an easy “bowl.” Many of…
First $$ Impressions
Posted on
How much money does the average American adult spend per year, trying to impress people? How much money did I spend last year, trying to impress people? Let’s say I went to a cabin in the woods where I wouldn’t see anyone for a month. How much money would I save? Makeup: I’d skip it….
Gradations of Life
Posted on
When I was in college, I could be happy listening to music in my room and chilling out. I didn’t need to be doing anything major. Why? I had a big goal: to finish four years of college. It was nice to have forced goals back then; adult life is sort of aimless. Wouldn’t it…
Afterprey

I have seen Afterpay pop up all over the place lately. You can buy your $100 eye cream, and then you have 8 weeks to make payments on it. You don’t even need a credit check to sign up! They make money at least two ways: 1. When you miss a payment, they get a…
