how to create a budget | Beauty and the Brain

Saving money has never been sexier. I think financial stability in a time of economic suffering shows just how intelligent and determined you are. Creating a safety net is a hard task to follow. The peace of mind it brings you is well worth the effort and sacrifice.

How to create financial stability.

One: Create a budget. I use http://www.Mint.com .

Two: Stick to it! Even if it means staying in for a month straight! Don’t forget to include Saving for financial freedom.

just….…your true friends will completely understand and hopefully follow your lead.

THREE: Be organized financially as well as in everyday life. Find out how to here —> http://www.wikihow.com/Be-Organized

~The Frame~

Feel

What this Frame suggests is that:

The way we see things (our beliefs about situations, other people or ourselves) affects how we feel
How we feel (our emotions) affects what we do (our behavior or actions)
What we do affects what we get (the results)
Guess what!! What we get tends to reinforce how we see or our beliefs.

There’s nothing sexier than an organized/ financially stable human being! This year I kicked off with a solid budget and savings plan using www.mint.com This is an amazing tool for anyone! It notifies you when you are over budget, when your bills are due, and how much debt to cash you actually have. AMAZING.

Of course with each new year we hope for good health. This year I started with the health of my skin. I promise to wash my face morning and night and ALWAYS remove my makeup before bed. With my new Clarisonic Mia www.Nordstrom.com this should be no problem and for nights when I am exhausted I vow to use makeup remover wipes!
If you invest in the Mia like I did you MUST clean it after every use and replace the brush every 3 months. This tool will grow bacteria if you are not mindful. I have been soaking my brush head in alcohol+water and blow drying it.
