Less clutter, more energy, more money?


I have heard it said that a cluttered space leads to less energy (feng shui) because the clutter cuts off the flow of energy.  Think about when you clean out a messy drawer and feel revitalized.  That is feng shui.  Anyway, I am hoping to bring more energy back in my life today with a clutter-clean up!

Less clutter can also lead to better spending habits.  Often times, we put things in the back of the closet and forget we have them.  Today, I will do an assessment of what I have, need and can toss.  Maybe I will even find some loose dollars lying around.  :) 

I am also putting a ton of stuff in the "sell" pile.   My sister and I will be having an upcoming garage sale.  Thus, organizing can also lead to ca$h.  Who doesn’t like that?

Stay tuned!

No gym membership, cheap workouts



I have never paid for a gym membership.  I love working out but do it outdoors (biking, walking, jogging) or in the comfort of my home.  I used to tape a workout and then do it at my convenience. The cost was minimal.

My former roommate then got me hooked on the Biggest Loser workouts.  I have purchased one DVD to replace the one we used together (cost $9- still less than a gym membership, but I also waited for it to go on sale).  This weekend, I found two workout DVDs at a garage sale for $2.  What a deal!  You never know what you are going to find at a garage sale.  (My next hunt is for a new iron- we currently have two and they are both on the fritz).
