A friend of mine told me she read that if you tan using Coca Cola, you’ll get a nice tan that lasts for months. Being the skeptic that I am, I did some research on this but couldn’t find anything apart from people’s testimonials. I also came across an interesting page that gives you all…
Why we love to hate

Sorry for going off my Frugal Topic, but the last post got so many readers that I decided to write something else about the world and people. No worries, frugal articles will be back soon! One of my favourite songs lately is called F*ck You by Lily Allen. The strong lyrics contradict the upbeat happy tone…

Sadly, I am feeling a little down this week, partially hormone related and partially due to this horrible cold/wet summer we’ve been having. Clearly, it was time for me to do something for myself that wasn’t going to cost me a fortune. (I know some people shop or drink alot when feeling down and that…

You guys won’t believe this, but I booked my ticket to San Francisco for February 2010. It’s not my style to plan anything THIS early but stumbled upon a cheap ticket that I couldn’t pass up. Thought i’d share. There is no way I want to spend my 40th birthday freezing cold in -20C weather…
Tightening our belts & travelling tips

I find that I am lacking some inspiration lately! Argh. I usually come on here and start a post, then decide that I have nothing to say or share that is relevant to this blog. I did make some lentil burgers last night (good AND cheap) but I feel that my recipe can still be perfected…so…
