Make Your Own Custom Febreze [DIY With CC]
Whenever I shop for home appliances or groceries, I always love picking up Febreze. The smell fixes everything, and seeing as I’m moving into my first apartment (awwww!), I know there are going to be a lot of cooking mistakes to cover up. However, my mama isn’t going to be there to fund my Febreze addiction, and therefore things are going to get pricy.
This Post Grad Life: I Need More Money, Honey
I can’t believe I’m being this depressing on hump day! But, I’m being serious and honest. Even if you get a entry level job out of college, money is low, low, low, low (and you won’t be buying boots wit dah fur, if you catch my drift).

The Weekly Ten: Gen-Y Recessionista Tips
This week I was perusing USA Today and stumbled upon an article that struck me as, frankly, a bit terrifying.

One Month Challenge: Shopping Ban, Week Three
This week has been 127 times better than last, shopping wise. I’ve been so busy that there hasn’t been much time to dig through F21′s new daily arrivals. Not shopping wise though, stress has been killing me. Exams, term papers, projects… I don’t even see my boyfriend anymore. And I live with him!

One Month Challenge: Shopping Ban, Week Two
So because of a recent underwear purge (I estimate I have about 60 pairs), I found myself needing some nude n0-show undies for an ivory dress my mom bought me over Spring Break. What started as an innocent visit to VS.com for one $10 thong turned into a $250 shopping bag that won’t stop staring at me.
One Month Challenge: Shopping Ban
Hello. My name is Kelly, and I’m a shopaholic. I get more delight out of buying a new pack of Hanes v-necks than eating a Marco’s grilled cheese after bar close. Vogue is my porn of choice. Updating wish lists on all of my favorite online stores would be my favorite hobby.

Life After College: Making Sacrifices
Being an adult means making a lot of sacrifices. It’s about saying no to a dinner party because you can’t afford to bring more than stale bread ends. It’s about turning down movie offers because it costs 5 billion dollars to buy a ticket in NYC (and god forbid you want to see IMAX…bye bye, life savings!).
Life After College: Financial Woes
Because I’m making six pennies a year in my job after taxes, I follow a very strict budget that allows me to afford a moderate amount of food and a moderate amount of fun. There is no room for a savings plan in my budget so I just figured if I was extra careful nothing would ever go wrong. Then last week everything went wrong.

Duke It Out: Save Money, Move In Together?
Even though I keep hearing the recession’s over, those of us on a student budget are still tightening our belts (and not because it makes us look thinner). A lot of innnovative ways to save have popped up in the last few years, but one of the most life-changing is the idea of moving in with the significant other to save on rent.
