My version of accessorizing

I'm not big on jewelry and my daily hair routine consists of running my fingers through my hair and pulling it back in a pony tail. So my new "fashion" goal is to accessorize by taking baby steps, meaning I won't be wearing feathers in my hair anytime soon (sorry Carrie, I love you, but that's just whack!) but I will add a "pop" of color into my wardrobe once in a while. For example, today, I decided to wear a white scarf with jeans and a grey top. Sounds boring, but it's a BIG step for me.

I also found these adorable flower bobby pins ($1.50!) online and ordered them in every color BUT black!

My version of Salmon Cakes

In our efforts to save money and follow Dave Ramsey's "snowball" plan, my husband has been sending me links of other people in our situation. The most recent was of a family who went on for an entire month without buying groceries and instead, emptied out her food pantry and freezer by making simple and delicious meals After watching it, I was actually inspired to do the same instead of rolling my eyes at my husband's yet another attempt to get me to save money. Hey, I already gave up my routine hair appointments and tanning!

After looking into my pantry, I did feel a little guilty since it looked like we were stocking up for a snow storm in the middle of August! Ok, so today I will be using all ingredients from my pantry to make tonight's dinner - Salmon cakes with pasta and eggplant salad (leftovers from my mom).
