Everyday Money

I have just read a hugely entertaining book review by one Jessa Crispin, the founder and editor of www.bookslut.com - check it out. Her discussion revolved around those ubiquitous fashion/shopping guides.

The Trinny and Susannahs, the Paula Ryans; she makes an extremely valid point; these guides exacerbate the negative feelings we have about our bodies.

So I have decided to retain more of my everyday money by not shopping for that special garment which will make me look tall, slim and brown. What a saving that will be...just kidding - the shops are open, where is my credit card?
