Project Personality: Saving for the Holidays... Already?

Project Personality

with Apple Box Boutique founder Leanne Playter Korsos

Every year I promise myself I will be more prepared for the next Christmas.  Then, just like my resolution to 'eat less cheese and chocolate this year', it falls by the wayside as I get busy and preoccupied with everything else... anything else, really!  But then the bills roll in and I have that same holiday hangover all over again.

This year I decided to seek out some positive reinforcement and found it in abundance at "The Frugal Home".  A great site with lots of money-saving ideas, this is what they have to say about how to avoid that new year wallet-ache:

"Don’t look at me like I’m crazy. I know no one wants to think about the holidays for at least another ten months but this is the best time to start thinking about them

 

Look for after-Christmas sales and stock up on items like wrapping paper, gift tags, and gift card holders. I will often pick up a few ornaments to give away the next year as well. I love to give an ornament with a gift card or just as an add-on gift and I was able to pick up several awesome ones for about 25 cents each this year! 

Set up a holiday account, whether through a holiday account at your bank, in your regular savings, or even a shoebox in your closet! Think about how much you spent this year at Christmas, divide it into ten or eleven months (depending on when you start Christmas shopping), and start saving each month. Sitting back your holiday money will make you feel so much better when the holidays roll around next year as you won’t have to stress about coming up with the money in the middle of all of the holiday parties, events, and big payments such as end-of-the-year taxes.

Save what you can, even ten bucks a month will give you $100 in ten months. You could at least buy gifts for your kids or closest loved ones. 

Do yourself a favor and put a little thought into Christmas this January and you won’t have to put so much thought and stress into it when the time comes!" 
-The Frugal Home

Project Personality: Bring on the Bling!

Project Personality

with Apple Box Boutique founder Leanne Playter Korsos

Wow... time flies!  It's been a while since I've written a Project Personality post, and I thought it was high time I did.  It's been an incredibly busy few months at the boutique with limited time to talk about anything besides what is happening in our little Apple Box, but I am feeling inspired by the winter wonderland that surrounds us.

This season brings reunions and dinners and dancing and parties and fun, fun, fun.  The best part is that even though I live a good part of my life in paint clothes, this time of year holds all those wonderful reasons to put on fancy dresses and get dolled up.

As you know, I love to share great finds and this one is perfect for adding eye-catching sparkle to your holiday ensembles! 

Not quite ready to flaunt your blingy baubles?  Why not check out the opulently elegant 'Anna Karenina' this weekend for a little inspiration. Set at the tail end of the Romantic Period, where fashion was luxurious and jewelry was more than sumptuous, this epic tale will surely entertain your inner fashionista!

When 'the fancy' strikes you, shop for Dance With Me earrings and more at my personal jewelry boutique

If you are interested in why I am involved with Simply You jewelry even while running full speed ahead at Apple Box Boutique, all is revealed in this excerpt from a previous post:

Simply You is well-priced, fashion-forward jewelry that provides an opportunity to make a good income, get great deals on jewelry (often free) and how much time you devote to the business is entirely up to you.

Being a busy gal with family, friends and a couple of businesses to run, I like that I can be involved with SY on my own schedule.  But here is the biggest reason I am involved...

FREE STUFF!!!

Kidding... the free stuff is a nice perk, but most of all it is really gorgeous stuff with equally great prices.  But don`t just take my word for it, take a look for yourself -- I love it so much that I added a page to ABB`s website.

That way I can share the love!

~♥~  Leanne
