Spending, Life, Income and Food Updates… & A GIVEAWAY!
Happy Monday everyone. I hope it was a great weekend. My weekend was good, I started it a little earlier because I took a half day on Friday. I took it for no reason, I just wanted a little bit of a longer weekend 
And boy was that nice!
I took the pups to get their vaccinations on Saturday. But that’s a post for tomorrow! I have a long animal costs post set up for tomorrow. You all know that I’m obsessed with my dogs so be prepared for a long post.
And I’m finally on WordPress if you couldn’t tell! WOOOHHOOO! To celebrate this, I created a giveaway. I will announce the winner next week for the $100 PayPal cash prize.
My updates:
Spending: We didn’t do a lot of shopping last week. I bought a couple of things for the house that we needed (new sheets, pillow cases, etc.).
Extra Monthly Income:My extra income wasn’t as high as last week, but it’s still pretty good. I made around $275 last week from extra income.
Food: We’ve been doing better, as I said yesterday, but we could be doing much better.
Being healthy: I’ve been doing much better! I’ve ran with my dog every day. We’ve been going to the track in our neighborhood every day also. My sister has been a crazy workout and healthy eating person lately, so she’s helped keep me on track.
How’s your spending, working out and extra income going?
Sunday Meal Plan
Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend.
We’re still doing better than usual. We did eat out a couple of times last week, but it was mainly to celebrate whenever the boy sold a car. This of course won’t go on forever, but we are happy that it’s only his second week and he’s already sold 3!
He was told that it would probably take a month in order to sell his first one, but they were wrong
Here’s what I plan on making as our main course for each dinner:
- Monday - Steak and orzo + feta stuffed peppers
- Tuesday - Zucchini Lasagna
- Wednesday - Vegetarian Enchiadas (Thanks Jason!)
- Thursday - Lemon Chicken
- Friday – Turkey Parmesean Baked Rotini
- Saturday - Out to Eat
- Sunday - Spaghetti

#EclosBeauty Review and Giveaway
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of éclos Skin Care for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Before I was asked to do this review, I had never heard of this company. They claimed that their products offered a lot of benefits though, so I was excited to try it out (especially for free!). éclos Skin Care worked out very well for me and I’ve been using it for around a week now.
Here’s what the company says about their products just to give you an idea: éclos features Apple Stem Cells extracted from a rare Swiss apple which have shown tremendous ability to stimulate skin stem cells, encouraging aging skin to behave like younger skin. Plant extracts, vitamins and anti-oxidants combine with the Apple Stem Cell technology to help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and tired skin.
Similar products were once only available from specialty brands at department stores with a high price tag to match. éclos is the first brand to bring this active ingredient to mainstream stores at a fraction of the cost- making beautiful and younger skin available to women everywhere.
In the kit I received (and so will you if you win):
• Facial Cleanser Skin Prep – Deep cleanses. Lifts away makeup and dirt.
• Cellular Activator Face Serum – Skin quickly becomes smoother, softer, more youthful looking.
• Moisture Therapy Regenerative Cream – Brightens dull skin.
• Restorative Eye Cream – Firms delicate skin.
• Instant Radiance Facial Scrub – Improves texture and tones
• Skin Renewal Clay Mask – Absorbs dirt and cleans.
• éclos Terry Cloth Head Band
Personally, I did notice a slight difference in the week that I tried this product. Of course as I used this more and more, I will most likely have bigger changes. There are a lot of products, but each one has a different focus and reason for its use. My face felt very clean and nice afterwards. The before picture is on the left and after is on the right. Not a huge difference, but my face did feel smoother.
