Ginger Won't Snap : FUNemployment Update

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 04:24:59 +0000

Maybe increase the # of hours for the job search? I was always told to treat the job search as a full time job; in other words spend a full work day looking @ postings, networking and researching.

The Everyday Minimalist : Simplify Your Life: At the Office

Sat, 19 Mar 2011 16:27:26 +0000

These are some excellent tips. I have organized paper clutter, that just makes the whole moving process more painful than it should be. Really, I don't need binders of bank statements and old bills. Sometimes I think I should go out and get a fancy scanner to do all my paper scanning, but I was thinking I can still do the same w/ a digital camera.

Give Me Back My Five Bucks : My first Toastmasters meeting

Mon, 7 Mar 2011 12:18:04 +0000

I want to join a Toastmasters club in the future, and I'm happy to see you blog about it! I don't mind public speaking, I would love to learn how to speak better on the fly. I hope to see more posts of your experience.

The Everyday Minimalist : Minimalist Moving

Mon, 7 Mar 2011 12:14:30 +0000

Love all the tips. I do keep the original boxes for a lot of things, and they have definitely made my moves easier. Only problem? The original boxes clutter my apt a lot!

Fabulously Broke in the City : How to cook and eat for cheaper at home

Omgoodness, I love love white rice too. I think that's how my waistline expanded last year. I am totally going to try that banana smoothie recipe. My recent post The Hunt for Gold Open Toe Flats

The Everyday Minimalist : Minimalist Accessories

Mon, 28 Feb 2011 12:27:30 +0000

I would love to own more accessories, but at the moment I have no good system of organizing everything. I don't think you have an insane amount (I just checked out Principessagabriella's blog...now she has A LOT). I think that using some accessories can really stretch out your wardrobe a bit further. Changing things up a bit here and there with accessories require little effort...so in some ways it's minimalist!

The Everyday Minimalist : Using Packing Cubes to Stay Organized

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 12:00:41 +0000

Wow. I totally want this! I have been living out of suitcase for most of 2011 and find it really hard not to end up with a suitcase that is super messy by the end of a trip! I am going to look for these to keep my things organized!

Fabulously Broke in the City : Would you let your parents move in with you?

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 11:43:50 +0000

I would have problem bringing my parents home to live with. Like you, my parents would say the same thing to me when I was young that I would not forget about them when I'm older. Sometimes I am appalled at some people who don't "want" their parents, especially after all that their parents have done for them. I hear coworkers joke and say "well I always tell them to be nice to me b/c I'm going to choose their nursing home for them"! Ridiculous! My recent post Buying Souvenirs

Fabulously Broke in the City : Women should buy their clothing like men

Fri, 25 Feb 2011 11:39:45 +0000

This is exactly how the hubby shops. He always buys good quality pieces and gets a lot of use of them. On the otherhand, I tend to fall victim to buying something I know may not be the best quality, but I rationalize to myself "Oh well, it's cheap and I want to be trendy". P.S. I understand the whole white tank top thing. One summer, I tried very hard to find a classic white tshirt. No frills or bells and whistles. Took me forever, and when I did find it, it was this thin white shirt that was definitely overpriced for its quality.

Fabulously Broke in the City : The Art of Being …. Utterly SHAMELESS

Sat, 12 Feb 2011 06:43:37 +0000

My parents still do that w/ the packets!!!!!!!!!! Then they end up giving me a bunch b/c they have too much. My friends once thought I was so crazy for having so many ketchup packets!

Fabulously Broke in the City : What would happen if guys didn't have to impress women with their salary?

Wed, 9 Feb 2011 21:16:21 +0000

What? Really? I didn't think that people actually went to school to get their "MRS"s anymore. It's really kind of sad when you think about it.

The Everyday Minimalist : The First Move of 2011: Montreal, QC

Mon, 7 Feb 2011 05:42:49 +0000

That sounded like a painless move for the most part. 3 hrs to pack! Each time I've moved apts, it seems like it takes forever! I never heard of this Docupen, but I want it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!! P.S. I love Montreal!!!!!!!!!!

Fabulously Broke in the City : laziness-and-working-statistics

Fri, 4 Feb 2011 12:12:30 +0000

I find 3 hours a day to be A LOT for an employee to be wasting! I would never get anything done at my job if I wasted 3 hours out of an 8 day work day.

Fabulously Broke in the City : How I am Shopping Smarter: Cataloguing my clothing onto my iPod Touch

Wed, 26 Jan 2011 12:18:07 +0000

This sounds like a great undertaking, and I am impressed. When I first read your post, I thought about this episode from Big Bang Theory where Sheldon puts RFID chips into this clothes as he inventories his clothes for trips!
