One Secret to a Working Mom Success: Minimize Expenses

Following Instagram posts can make you feel like other moms are either made of money or have sugar daddies funding their lifestyles. I can assure you. I have neither. There is nobody funneling money into my household except for me. And because I was an economics major and my dad was a banker, I am keenly aware of cash flow, assets and liabilities, and expenditures. Still, sometimes, I forget how expensive life can be. It's not because I lied about having a sugar daddy or have a trust fund.  It is because I am frugal. Indeed, being conscious of expenditures is integrated into my lifestyle.  I know that it is gauche to discuss money and yet, I feel compelled to share some thoughts.

Glamour tip: The Desperation Hair Style

That's me on the left.  It's New Orleans in July. The humidity was so thick you could cut it with a knife.  I didn't even bother doing my hair.  Ahh, the wonders of a silk scarf and earrings.  All you moms out there feel free to steal this style tip.  If you hadn't heard, we're in the middle of a heat wave! :-)

You do look pretty...

I will try this style, especially now that I'm seeing some lovely scarves in Macy's...

And I think it'll work with dramatic earrings...
