52Pinnable

For those of you, who have made the resolution to save money in 2019 here are some great and FREE printables to help you do just that! I have 4 different printables to help you on your journey, pick one or all four, they are all FREE! I have shared this painless yet effective way of saving money for the past several years on my website. I also hand these out to attendees of my budgeting workshops. I included a few different ways of doing this plan, as each person has different circumstances to work with.

The idea behind the 52 Week Money Challenge, is that by the end of 2019 you will have put aside $1,378!!! The first week, you put $1 into your savings account, jar, envelope, whatever method you choose. The 2nd week, $2, the 3rd week $3, and so on. OR start the money challenge in reverse: 1st week put in $52, 2nd week $51, 3rd week $50, etc… There are so many different ways to do this. This can be done with any budget and I want you to be successful! Here’s to a great and prosperous 2019!!

Walmart Beauty Box Only $5!!!

by 1 Comment

walmartbeauty

Have you ordered your $5 Walmart Beauty Box yet? For only $5, you will get a Beauty box full of name brand samples. I love this, as it allows you to try products to see if you like them, before you buy the full size. I love these, and they usually arrive right about the time I am packing for a trip, so I can use the items that come in the box during my trip, as they are travel size!

How does it work?

Each new season brings different product needs and a reason to refresh your beauty cabinet. In your Walmart Beauty Box, you’ll find sample beauty products and tips on how to use those and other items sold at Walmart and on Walmart.com. Receiving your Walmart Beauty Box will be another reason to welcome each new season.

1 Sign up for your Walmart Beauty Box

2. Get a new box for every season (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter)

3. Enjoy! (Then tell us about it!)

First time subscribers: Your subscription will be processed when you sign up and you will receive the current seasonal box. For all future Beauty Boxes (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.) you will only be charged when your next Beauty Box is shipped. Each seasonal Beauty Box is a limited edition and may sell out at any time. Note: Beauty products may vary by box.
