Tips for living on a budget
Especially if you are a small business owner or freelancer, or the current economical situation has hit you hard, you are at least in times living on a small budget. As a freelancer myself I know how it works. Some months there's work, even so much that you'll have trouble of getting everything done. Other months there's nothing and you are trying to live on the previous billed hours as long as possible. Then there are times when you have to wait for clients to pay their bills for be able to pay yours. What ever your reason is for being on a budget, here are my very tried and very well worked...
Planning not to plan
I really don't like planning. When I hear the words business and plan together I shiver and when I think about putting things on a to do list I get nauseous. What makes planning so awful is that plans are those that never fully come true and they always hang around as things not done. But that's not all. I do prefer spontaneity over making and sticking to list of steps to achieve on objective. Planning, besides of being disappointments more often than satisfactory, is for me a sure way to take anything fun out of things. I don't like planned vacations where you have do things following set t...
Cute tape from cutetape.com
Recently CuteTape on Instagram held a giveaway contest and I won I won! As a winner I got to choose three Washi Tapes from the store. The tapes arrived all the way here faster than I expected and they are really cute. Which ones did I choose then? As you can see the tapes I got look exactly as pictured in the web store. If you are in US cutetape.com offers free delivery. The store is filled with other stuff than tapes too, such as stamps, party favor bags and boxes, stickers, tags, paper straws and other paper supplies. All very cute, of course.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014)
ATTENTION! The following contains spoilers and details about the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014). If you haven't seen it yet and don't want to know what's going on beforehand, please refrain from reading this. You've been warned. I'm not a comic book nerd. Not even a little bit. Comics weren't a big thing in my home when I grew up and I didn't get into them like for instance the man I live with. I have read some here and there, but mostly I'm just clueless about this stuff. Thus I watch these "comic book movies" as any other movie, without having a real comparison to the l...
All the youngest siblings are spoiled
There was an article somewhere. A mother was writing how she used to overprotect her first one. Then, later she had the second kid and she was now an expert. No fuzz. Hey, the kid is eating the hand cream, no big deal. Parents and the oldest kids went on hallelujah and amen. The oldest child always has it the hardest. The youngest, that spoiled brat, has got it all ready and handed to them in a nice package. Sure do. As the youngest of three, born 8 years later than the middle sister, I got it all ready and done: Many of my toys, clothes and other things were my sisters' old. Many of the thi...
You are not special (and that's really good)
I have had struggles in my life. Struggles I'm willing to talk about publicly and those I'm not. I have had anxiety attacks or panic attacks or what ever you want to call them. I am scared of my own shadow. I'm jumpy, I'm weird and in times I recognise the symptoms of hypochondria (mom's a nurse, go figure). I have often thought I'm the only one with all these problems and no person will understand. Do you know any of these feelings? Do you ever have a lonely party in your mind thinking you are the only one who has gone through some crazy shit or has to survive with awful feelings? It has...
Do you care?
For some reason caring is often seen as a bad thing. Those who appear not to care are considered as cool. People who care keep getting told not to care so much or get scoffed at when they voice or show how much they care. It would be better for them and apparently less scary for the others if they didn't care. Not caring needs not to be seen as a cool and great thing. It needs to be seen as something a lazy person would do. Not caring, you see, is much easier than caring. It's easier for your heart, it's easier for your mind. Unless of course you are a caring person and have to make an effor...
