Save Money on Summer Clothes

For those of you with the option to telecommute or work at home, you can save a bundle by wearing simple shirts and shorts around the house will working.

For those of you who work outside the home, purchase 4-6 outfits for mixing and matching. For example, some companies allow dress down Friday wear good quality jeans with a light cotton blazer.

You can save the higher quality items for office meetings (ex. Monday morning).

Cleaning

Cleaning a large area such as an attic or garage can be draining for a chrono lady. You may want to divide the project into sections.

It will take longer but your body will be appreciative.

Children and Summer Fun

June is a good time to create an educational fun plan for your child/young relative. For instance, borrow or buy an arts and crafts book and help him/her with a project.

This can be done once per week to give your child/young relative something fun.

Business Ideas

How is your business doing? This is fair question to ask yourself on a regular basis. For instance, if business is slow, you can take the time to catch up a favorite business book or watch a business video.

Early Summer Beauty Tips

Its late June and the weather has been warm and humid for 2 to 3 weeks. This may be an indication of how warm the summer will remain. Here are a few ideas to keep your beauty treatments during the morning:

1. Enjoy a light breakfast with a glass of water.
2. Take healthy snacks to work.
3. Keep stress low by easing into your workday. Stress shows on your face.

Volunteer to Finish Up the School Year

Many schools have closed for the summer. However, if your local school has not closed, you can volunteer to clean up. Some schools have experienced extensive budget cuts so any help is good news.

Remember, speak with your medical provider before engaging in any physical activity.

Reading and Self-Improvement

There are plenty of great books for June reading at the park, beach, and backyard. Most of us enjoy a good murder mystery or a nice romance novel.

However, purchase at least 1 or 2 books for self-improvement. For example, if you learning to bake, buy a book on healthy desserts. If you are not sure about your purchase, you can borrow the book from the library before making a book purchase.

Preparing for Common June Family Activities

June is filled with anniversary parties, birthdays, and graduations. This economy has made many of us consider our budgets for gift-giving so here are some ideas to save you money:

1. Prepare a small budget for each family activity. For instance, a total budget of $200.00 may be your desired amount for all family activites.
2. Buy multiple items for the same low costs. Think notepads, calculators, and appointment books.
3. Create small gift baskets for each person instead of purchasing large gifts.

Money and Misery

It is amazing how good you feel when you have money. Yes, you may still have your aches and pains but your body seems to handle your disease/disorder better.

Anyway, if you find yourself looking for quick cash from a second job, remember to pace yourself.

Laundering and Clothes Storage

Remember to gentle wash your winter garments/ items before storing. Sweat, oils, and odor tends to attract bugs and your clothes can be damaged before you the summer is over.
