Today's Video: I Ain't too Proud to Save

While most people won't even bother to clip and use coupons, in this video not only do I use mine, but I redeem it days AFTER I made my purchase!

To put things into perspective, let me give you a scenario: If you found out a store was giving away $10 bills, you wouldn't hesitate to go stand in line to get yours. Don't dare say you wouldn't because I waited in line with at least a hundred people to get a free Whataburger. Doing what I did in this video is no different and in all actuality, it's more justifiable because it was my $10 to begin with!

Here are just a few things $10 will buy me:

• 2.5 Dark Cherry Mocha Frappachinos from Starbucks
• a domain name
• an eyebrow wax
• 1/2 of the items on The Boy's second grade school supply list
• a rotisserie chicken & 2 bags of frozen veggies
• a matinee movie ticket
• a dress from Ross (a cute one...seriously!)

You can judge me if you want to, but don't call me asking to borrow $10!

Guess what?! Due to the overwhelming response to this post, I started a personal style blog. But it's not just any personal style blog. Go on..click here to check it out!

The Unemployed Entrepreneur®: On-Air Radio Personality

Last Thursday marked my second week of officially becoming a radio personality. I've been training for several months to have my own show and was totally caught off guard when the station's General Manager invited me to join his variety talk show.

I'm a co-host on KAZI 88.7's Juice & Jam Show - and did I forget to mention I've joined an all male lineup? This alone should make for some very interesting dynamics and show content. About 15 minutes into my media debut, a man called up and voiced his opinion about me joining the crew. "Don't turn this into no woman's show!", he said. So pleased to know we as women have made such great strides in workplace equality. FYI...I ain't goin' nowhere...unless I get fired (don't act surprised - you know it wouldn't be the first time!).

Steve has wanted me to become a part of the KAZI family for some time now. I'd been reluctant to do so, but then realized if I didn't take advantage of the opportunity someone else would. Did fear play a part in me dragging my feet? Sure did. That's when I had to follow my own advice and get over it.

Will I still host my own show? That offer is still on the table too. However, I've decided not to move forward at this time. I don't want to bite off more than I can chew and juggling two radio shows would be a bit overwhelming for me. Besides, I'm perfectly fine with being a co-host and by working directly with the General Manager, I'm in the best position to learn the engineering aspects I need to know.

A few years ago, Juice & Jam was voted Austin's Best Morning Talk Show...I have my eyes set on winning that award again!
