For some reason, I was just a little happier than usual this week. My students were on their Ps and Qs this week. It made my heart smile.

People have been talking about Dave Ramsey’s envelope system, so I thought I’d give it a try. I made a small budget for my three highest areas of spending (clothes, food, and miscellaneous), appropriated cash for each category, and put them in their respective envelopes . Once the cash is gone, I stop spending. It’s crazy how this tangible budget has made me double triple quadruple think all my purchases. It’s making me more disciplined and I like it, as frustrating as it may be at times.

This was my last style before I took out the twists. It was also the first ponytail I’d done with this hair. It was surprisingly heavy.Me and my teacher-friend! Glad to have her around.

#ThrowbackThursday Same shirt, 6 months later. It’s crazy how I’m always reinventing myself. I’ve loved myself in all stages.
