I’m fine, don’t worry

The Frugal Girl

Yesterday I had another exam, and last night I worked through a whole bunch of lab homework. SO MANY VIDEOS TO WATCH. And then when I was sitting up writing a blog post, man, I just could not keep my eyes open any more. I decided to table it for another day because no one is going to die if there’s not a Wednesday blog post from me one week. I didn’t want to not put anything up here, though, because then I knew some of you would worry!

Thankful Thursday | Look at all these colors!

The Frugal Girl

This week I am thankful: for my new set of highlighters Previously, I was in possession of a single yellow highlighter, from the abandoned house. It was working fine, but I found myself wanting more colors, mainly to distinguish things from each other on my weekly school schedule and my own weekly planner. Sooo, I stopped in at Staples and bought a pack of many colors.

Five Frugal Things | A lunch-y edition

The Frugal Girl

1. I’m using metal containers to pack my lunches Reusable containers make for a greener lunch, and a cheaper lunch. I love glass containers for food storage at home, largely because they are see-through. Food that’s visible is food that’s less likely to go to waste! But for lunches, I love metal containers. They’re lightweight, they take up less space than glass containers, and they’re unbreakable.

See here: And also here: In the comments on that recent post, many of you said, “Oh, thank you for being vulnerable and keeping it real.” But the funny thing is…I didn’t even feel vulnerable sharing my messy kitchen photos!

Five Frugal Things | bare minimum haircut

The Frugal Girl

1. I got the bare minimum haircut service I generally get a haircut about once a year, and it seemed like it was time. So, I went to Haircuttery and got the cheapest haircut they offer. I always skip the blowdry/style service because it costs extra and my hair is so thin, it dries on its own by the time I get home anyway! I’m glad to have healthier ends again.

By request: what I’m currently doing with weight-lifting

The Frugal Girl

This has come up a few times recently in the comments, sooo, here you go! But before we do that: this post is gonna talk some about weight loss/gain (and there’s a picture of me when I was pretty skinny), so if that’s a topic you aren’t up for, maybe skip reading here for today. Also: I’m not an expert, and any weight-lifting you do is at your own risk!
