Up my sleeve...

Mamasita Bonita taught me, "You don't have to pay full price to look like you do." So I don't. Hardly ever. Unless I can't live without it...Point is, we're all looking for ways to have a dollar-sized life for the cost of pennies. Well, even if you aren't, I'll show you how you still can and no one will know the difference. Not even you.

Introducing:

A place to learn good deals and realistic imaginative ways to keep those pennies safe and sound.

A new regular segment found exclusively at yours truly.

The Home Date:

This is when you send your little lambs away to dreamland and go out on a date to your living room. No babysitters or reservations required. Having a plan makes the date even more special because you are anticipating your getaway. Olen and I usually snuggle with a Netflix and some Ben and Jerry's. You could also plan a spa night where you each receive and give pedicures (men love pedicures, they just don't admit it), or a run to Filli-B's for some carne asada french fries and catching up on your favorite TV show, or take out and a foreign film to match. Maybe just a wrap session at the end of the day is all you need to recharge your love batteries; simple talk about how your day went is crucial and often bypassed with baths and bedtime. So on those nights that you just need the day to end, give your bank account the night off and ask your Sweetheart out on a date to the living room. Your only limit is your imagination.
