june's almost 1-year resolutions
I spent $22 last year on atm withdrawal fees. That's practically $2/month I could've spent on something else like a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee.
I also started bringing my lunch to work and its working out really well. Not only am I saving between $20-$40/week ($1040-$2080/year!) on food, but none of the food I've bought in the past two weeks has spoiled because its getting used for that extra meal.
And I've since been buying more fresh fruits and vegetables, using plastic containers, and reducing the waste I would have used (and partially paid to support the use of) if I were buying lunch.
Hopefully it means that I'm eating healthier food that's fresh and less processed, and I think its helped my morning routine to become a little bit more of just that, a routine, instead of just rolling out of bed and hitting the snooze button a bunch of times and still ending up at work a half hour to 45mins late.

I just joined twitter. So I guess I'm officially an virtuaphile ^_^
I also just became obsessed with making lots of ^_^ faces. They're so cute!

"... the result of... frugality, a bad experience, a good idea, and a few dedicated individuals."
This is such a cool site where you can submit the price of a service in your local community! They don't allow actual business or personal names, but since everyone has to register, its just one more hop/skip/jump to find out the information from the user who submitted the review. Its way more flushed out and organized than reviews posted on other sites, and definitely gives you a better sense of how the service/price/experience correlate by asking specifically for descriptions of each. I just registered and busted out a review of the amazing bikini and upper leg wax at the International Salon (Philadelphia, PA), and can't wait to post more reviews and spread the word!
Disclaimer: One part of my review reads like I'm Dustin Hoffman from the Rain Man, but you only have one half hour after you create the post to go back and edit, so despite the good review of the salon, I guess I'll have to suffice sounding like I'm autistic.
