Shop the Money Tracker
As a millennial woman, it's important to feel confident about what I wear while being mindful of my finances. The way I easily achieve this is by using a money tracking spreadsheet to calculate the cost per wear of each clothing item in my wardrobe and it’s so easy for you to do! Here's how it works:
In a spreadsheet, input the item name and the cost of each clothing item you own. (Put your best guess at the price of older items and input the cost of new purchases moving forward)
Every time you wear an item, add to the number of times you've worn it.
See the cost ..read more

Mine keeps ice in there for over 24 hours.

I also did balayage for awhile and then I even upgraded that and was doing a full bleach blonde. Because of that my bill would run anywhere from $200 to upwards of $500+.
I decided to do a ..read more

MAY DAY, MAY DAY! It's time to get into my May monthly recap and overview. I had the highest income for 2021 this April.
