On Souffre Pour Trouver du Travail

The government reported that 290,000 jobs were added last month. This is wonderful news. It adds to my sense of springtime glee. Though I'm not permanently employed myself, I'm happy someone is and also happy because I found some high-paying contract work with interesting people and nice perks. It's a step in the right direction!

Still, I'm going to keep my spending in check and amp up my discount shopping. Case in point: today I'm going to buy some beauty products but only the ones that are on sale! Just this morning my aunt said, "Miss Potato Sack, why do you wear that gloppy sunscreen instead of nice moisturizer?" I couldn't bare to tell her that my fave moisturizer's pricey . . . I'm waiting for it to go on sale!

So, here are the coupons I found for my fave beauty products today:

$5 off $30 orders, plus free shipping.

This one looks too good to be true, but it never hurts to try!


Now on to applying to at least 20 jobs . . . holla!!!

Bon chance pour trouver un emploi!

CHAMPAGNE & SHOPPING . . . FREE!

What could be better than free champagne on a Friday afternoon? Free shopping as well! That's right - you can have new jewelry for the price of $0. Just bring your old duds into Dalaga in Greenpoint on Friday, and a local (and AWESOME!) jewelry designer will transform them into new studs!
Creativity, fun, & a new look all in one. I can't wait for this!!
p.s. You might want to buy a dress too, since Dalaga won "Best Dresses" award in NYMAG's "BEST OF 2010" issue!

Recession dinner...

there are REally less options for dinner when you arent living large. SO:why dont you cook something. or better yet, go over to a friends house who cooks. Now this may take a little more planning but- sometimes.....its good to become friends with people with some sort of actual domestic life skills.

Also a good friend to have is someone who always has good snacks. .... just sayin'.

Speaking for myself, and only myself, I have very little patience... and I am generally only feeding myself, so I generally try to use the least amount of ingredients possible.

It has led me to some FABULOUS low calorie recipies:
broccoli
bok choi
asparagus
brussel sprouts
i just microwave for a minute to a minute and a half ( or better yet press the "vegetable button" on the microwave), and squeeze lemon juice.  Add a dash of salt and pepper, or for a more interesting effect low sodium soy sauce and you have yourself a MEAL.

FREE music downloads? yes!

if you like up and coming bands on independent labels you should obvi check out Rcrdlbl

its a great site where you can download FREE music. and music should like so be FREE anyways, because putting a price on music is similar to putting a price on LOVE.

also if you google bands they will put you to myspace music and then give you a tiny little pop out player where you can listen to music. which is SO much better than those stupid like 30 seconds that itunes gives you. i want the WHOLE song. hallow!

Lovely Day is now open. also There are a lot of sales going on NOWW...

Lovely Day, aka the beatrice of restaurants is now open. Please go there for cheap thai food. its also painfully cool . which helps you feel cool too.

another good thing about being Yob-less, you can really catch up on magazine reading.


In other news. lots of good sales going on. Uniqlo, the row sample sale.. nad hopefully that saks sale i love so muchhhhh. and by the way potatosack princess..... dont fret. there are lots of positive things about this situation, you just have to learn to enjoy them.

i am at KINKOS. FML.

kinkos SUUUUCKs. the laziest people work here. like even I could get a job here, but, I probably cant... its so competitive these days.

anyhow. EVERYONE here is working on work stuff. Everyone is printing resumes and what not. unemployed UNITE!

Now the question you should be asking is why the hell am I posting this when time is so expensive at kinkos-- it is 30Cents per minute of internet/ use of a computer to be exact. Well, its because i have a TIp!


save your money and bring your own laptop.... its MUCH cheaper. an hour for 6$. actually I cant do math but i figure i paid the freeking 6$, I am going to use it.
