FHE- Provident Living Edition

For our Laguna Beach FHE I decided to utilize a skill Poppy K (and hopefully me as well) posses...provident living. Poppy is an accountant(I'm following in his big Poppy shoes) and could live in Costco pants, in a one bedroom house eating take out every night and he would be happy as a clam.

So...since Baby Chicken and Momma K have some serious shopping issues (as BC once said "I am a consumer"), Baby Chicken is going off to college to live all alone and I am finally off The Family payroll, I felt a budgeting lesson would be appropriate.

We learned how to input our salaries, take out for taxes, calculate the necessary deductions and budget for daily expenses as well as those that are unexpected.We then made suggestions as to what we could do right now to live more providently. One of the major expenses BC, Momma K and I all have is beauty products. We love us some expensive face creams and BC can't live without his lavender oil (yes it sounds fruity but let me tell you, lavender oil is where it's at. It reduces redness on pimples and shrinks them without drying out and it also helps relax or put you to sleep, don't just take my word for it. Try it. Life changing. Seriously.). Therefore, for our activity we learned how to make our own skin brightening masks, courtesy of Martha ($6) to replace the expensive ($20 per packet) ones that we are more drawn to.{And then, of course...we did a test drive of our new product}
Oh how I love me some FHE.
