More Frugal Ways
More Ways we are being Frugal.
I love clotheslines! Nothing like the smell of sheets dried in the sun. But in this day and age you hardly see them anymore. Then I started thinking about how we could save money by not running the Dryer so much. So asked Hubs to make a clothesline in the back yard. We went to Home Depot and got the supplies. Hubs strung the line from fence post to fence post and put in some little gadget that will allow us to adjust the tension in the line. And we can take it down when not in use. I ran a load of laundry and hung it out to dry last night. It worked great!
As a reward to myself when I quit smoking, I got artificial nails. I have had them ever since (4 years. Go me with the not smoking). But I was getting tired of always having to be careful so as not to break a nail or wrecking the polish. And the money I was spending each month…… On something that God gave me and that grow for free! So I had my acrylic nails removed. This one has been a little tough for me. I am so used to my nails being pretty and I like that. My real nails are jacked up and really thin and weak……And not so pretty! So I am struggling with this one. I just keep trying to think about how much money I will save in a month! And my nails will grow back thicker and healthier, I just got to give it time.

way to go! think of all the chemicals that are not being released into the environment by you not having your nails done. and when your nails are healthy, you can treat yourself to getting them painted, so they’ll still look pretty!
and the cost of painting vs a full set is SOOOO much cheaper!
