  • Yet Another Wedding…

    At least this time I am not a bridesmaid! One of my good friends from college is getting married in May. It’s been a long time coming! Let me preface this by saying she’s Muslim so I’m not totally up to snuff on proper wedding etiquitte and stuff. I am looking forward to seeing what…

  • Wedding Budget Quickie

  • GWS Readers: Help me with this wedding crap!

    I’m not going to lie, I’ve been feeling a little stressed about my friend T’s wedding and related activities. Money has been tight with me lately and now I’ve got to get my eyes zapped again in the middle of the month (more on that later) and she has just told me of another cost…

  • The Frugal Bachelorette Weekend

    In my post below I outlined a few of the things that we did for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend. What I didn’t mention is my surprise at how little it cost us in the end. Just for perspective, I was estimating the personal cost to be somewhere around $200 each for the weekend, since…

  • Wedding Update

    So, this past weekend was a long weekend for those of us in Canada and was therefore the perfect weekend to have a bachelorette party! I’ve mentioned before that my best friend T is getting married in August. I am one of her bridesmaids, so me and M (another one) put our heads together and…

  • Easter Weekend

    Well, I had a great Easter weekend this time around, but unfortunately I’ve blown not only my diet but my budget to hell as well! Bummer. The diet woes started on Thursday, I went out with the people from work to Hooters for the night… much beer and fried chicken products ensued. Friday I had…

  • A Beautiful Day!

    Ahhh, today Toronto is blessed with some sunshine! It makes me happy! It seems we are indeed slowly inching our way to spring… however the wind is a bitch! It was quite fridgid as I was walking this afternoon. Anyway, today was kind of odd. Last night M and I went out to an Edge…

  • As Promised…

    Here’s for another money post! I’m working on another Going Green post and some product reviews (product junkie, right here, everyone!) to post in the future, as well as one about the new Jenny Craig diet I’ve just started. But first, I wanted to do an update on my personal finances, and the Bridesmaid Costs…

  • Financial Update

    I really should be in bed right now, but I just painted my nails with my fave nail colour: OPI’s I’m Not Really A Waitress. Coincidentally, this is the best-selling colour of red out there. This photo really doesn’t do it justice. Maybe once I clean my nails up I’ll take a photo to show…

  • Wedding Costs + Personal Update

    Ok, for those 3 imaginary readers that may or may not visit my blog—I’m sorry for the lack of updates! There was a period there where I simultaneously got busier, had nothing to write about and just didn’t feel like writing at all. Hopefully now I can get back on the bandwagon. I don’t think…
