Two Quick Fixes to Save Some Dough - And Save the World!

You don't have to revamp your entire life to be more environmentally concsious. Here are two small changes that will have a big impact on your wallet and your footprint.

Go paperless. If you haven’t already, DO IT. Go online and opt for paperless bills when possible for monthly payments like cable and banking. Then, log into your bank online and set up automatic payments right from your checking account. Trust us, less paper = less hassle, and a smaller footprint tracing from your wallet. Plus, you’ll do a better job at paying bills on time and have all previous statements available at your fingertips. Kiss those ever rising stamp prices goodbye and save some serious cash.

DIY face mask. Let’s be serious: we love to pamper ourselves, but after the holidays and all that glorious giving, money is tight. Proposed solution? Get your girl friends together on a Saturday afternoon and make your own skin clearing mask. Puree clementines, ground oats, honey, jojoba oil, and water as desired to make a consistency you like best. Apply a thin layer over your face and neck and leave it on for 10 minutes. Glowing skin a la Recessionista!
