My lady hustle.... Week 2 (3/7 - 3/13)

Okay.... so I don't know what got into me this past week but for some reason my subconscious mind must have thought I was ballin off of $1200 in one week... which mind you, does not even fully cover my rent. I mean I'm kind of disappointed at my spending habits but i'm also kinda happy that I could treat myself. A pair of tennis shoes I ordered just arrived at my door today and I tried them on .. they're just ok and don't match the bag I got them to go with so they are going back. But I also got a pair of .5 carat diamond earrings omg the excitement!!!!!!!!!!!!

But I did get a freaking amazing deal, plus I got cash back using Rakuten in store offer and $30 store reward to put toward any store purchase! I feel like that was a big time score! I'm probably gonna have to do a whole separate post on the diamond deal I'm like jumping with joy on the inside thinking about how good of a deal it was and how I'm glad I didn't pass it by.

The only other pair of authentic diamond earrings I've ever owned in my life were as a child, at like 4 or 5 years old.. Apparently my grandmother got them as a gift when she came to visit and as soon as they were put in my ears I went and climbed the tree in our yard; I fell out of the tree and one of the earrings fell out of my ear. Gone and never to be found. Whomp Whomp. When I think about this story all I can think about is how it seemed like a pair of earrings were more important than a child's well being. I mean I was obviously a rough and tough little girl and I was fine ..but still. I really feel like it was engrained in my head that I didn't deserve anything of such value because I'd lose it. Although my grandmother did buy my a chain and a bracelet and give gifts from time to time... even well into my adult life I new that anything she gave me she didn't really care about because somehow I'd lose it or break it... and that's exactly what always seemed to happen. So after high school when I wasn't making much but was making more than all of my pears I had a small fetish for jewelry, well purses and shoes and clothes and jewelry lol. Although I had rings on nearly ever finger, multiple earrings in my ears and multiple necklaces around my neck; I never bought myself any diamonds. Well hunny! This lil' subconscious of my is being retrained and I am going for all that I deserve and want and need!

Whew! I kind of got off track but not really because I know that our personal beliefs about ourselves and our finances and so on and so forth determine the life we lead.

With all of that being said I did not make as much money as I wanted to or needed to last week.

Oh and gas prices are really outrageous right now so it's definitely time to go back to the drawing board on ways to make money.
