Project Gorgeous

This is the way to make my life as beautiful as I can...

- Clean up my room
- Gradually declutter and get rid of things I really don't need
- This will lead to a gradual improvement in wardrobe
- This will lead to a more organized, cleaner, healthier environment
- This will lead to a nice, neat, simple bedroom
- Always floss and brush teeth before bed, no excuses!
- Always remove makeup before bed, no excuses!
- Get a really good body scrubbing brush
- Exfoliate more often, not just my face
- Get good skincare products
- Organize makeup brushes and clean them
- Make it a point to buy finer things, try what you normally wouldn't!
- Eat! Eat healthier foods. Drink water! Eat vegetables!
- Start packing a lunch
- Invest in more shoes!
- Pay off cell phone bill!
- Stop skipping classes
- Minimize procrastination
- Improve punctuality!
- Learn how to stop pressing the snooze button ten times every morning!
- Be a more confident speaker, say what you're thinking but try to be more tactful
- Try something new!
- Take care of your nails
- Use hand lotion more often
- Really get into SPF for lips and skin!
- Set one day aside that is strictly no make up! Sundays!
- Although you are now friends with Cody, leave it at that. You've said hi a few times and clearly this is somewhat pointless. When you feel lonely, know that it is the idea, the broken possibilities I was so disillusioned with, and the sex I really miss. Hell, thinking about the downs of the relationships reminds me that this is truly for the best :)

Priorities:
- Study for upcoming linguistics test!
- Work tomorrow 9-5
- Save, save, save for cell phone bill payment. Hopefully the paycheques this week will help me!
- After linguistics exam, get started on OE essay!!! This is very important!
- Make a very small Christmas list:
*Ben - clothes ($40)
*Ena - clothes ($40) or maybe a flat iron!
*Robyn - DS games ($40)
*Mom and Dad - hmmm... tough, tough... Plus their anniversary IS coming up...
*Tita Dinah - ha! easy! Corona anyone?? ($25)
*Tita Jinx, Tito Boy - I should get them something nice. Tita Jinx especially has been so kind to me this past year! ($40)
*Jasmin - movie pass ($10)
*Justin - movie pass ($10)
*Rayshma (just because she said she was getting me something!) ($10)

Shit, this Christmas list makes me feel really, really broke. How the hell do I pay my cell phone bill now?! Before I can decide anything, I'll need to see how much my paycheque is this month. I need to pay my cell phone bill by the end of January! It's a huge bill... :S But I need to get it out of the way... Okay my Christmas budget is $225. My cell phone bill is a little over that. God I know my paycheques will suck this week, but how do I make these damn ends meet...

Oh well, Project Gorgeous says not to worry. Things always work out and I do have some cash flow, so phew! Everything will be okay. You are fabulous!

PS
In TV shows like "'Til Debt Do Us Part", Gail suggests that the people spend cash only. It is easier to keep track of money when you SEE how much you're spending. They do not use credit cards and I don't think they use debit cards either. I need to stop using my debit card. From now on, I need to use cash only. I bet this will help tons! I am so bad with estimating money because I don't SEE it physically. I should officially stop using my debit card and get used to paying with hard cash.
