Ginger's money saving tips or beauty and life on a shoe string budget.

When you have very little money to begin with it is always worth knowing how much you have and when you will have it.  This is known globally as, "budgeting". 

However, for the purposes of glamour we shall call it "fiscal organisation".

Pour yourself a cup of tea, we will be here a while.

Actually it's much easier than people would have you believe! There are a number of small steps involved. 

1. Identify what you need to spend and when it needs to be paid. Rent, food and bills should all come first. 

2. The presentation of yourself and family come next. Make sure you have enough soap, toothpaste and clothes without holes in. 

3. Entertainment! Once you have sorted the necessary payments, remember to budget for entertainments.

4. Savings. 10% at least of everything you earn from now on should go into a savings account. This is your rainy day/ deposit fund.

5. Always having something spare In the current account for coffee and lunch and fuel if you drive.

This has been a Ginger Wilde kick start to frugal living. Be sure to follow me through the week as I will be covering each of the steps mentioned above and giving you some fantastic money saving tips. 

As always, I love you all dearly xxx

Frugality or Ginger makes do!

Today I am a new Ginger! This happens once every quarter when I resolve to clear out and make my bank balance a little larger. 

Basically, Ginger got plans to be an enhanced version of herself! And I also resolve to stop talking about myself in the third person. 

So on to Sunday's lessons in frugality. Do I need it? Will I use it all or wear it more than once?

I resolve to ask myself these questions at every purchase, especially body creams!

If the answer is I'm only buying it cos I saw it in a magazine or on t.v then I will not buy it. 

Scoffing at my own weak will here! 

Wish me a lot of luck peoples. Hang around for this evenings post won't you?

All my love,

Gingers addiction to Lush or, bath blogging!

Yep I am blogging from my gold and bubbly bath! I love it. God bless hand held techy stuff, eh?

It's been such a long time since my last blog, I barely know where to start. 

Well the easiest place to start is Birthdays! I have several friends whose birthdays fall in March which in my opinion makes the entire month better than Christmas season! There have been parties and fabulous cakes.  There have been epic board games and even more epic dancing and singing. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and an extended family of friends! Long may it continue!

Of course what happens when Ginger parties too hard and works hard too? She gets a bit lethargic, a bit apathetic and just a tad ill. Nothing serious but a few headaches and a lingering cold which have caused a few more frown lines. 

So, after a few weeks of no shoots and no modelling at all, Ginger really wants to come out to play. 

Before I reveal my April/ May plans why don't you take a look back through March's shenanigans ?
