About

Oh, hello there!

Here's the deal:

In 2011, I chronicled one year in the life of a shopaholic. I had meant to blog for a year and get out of debt, but well... that didn't quite happen.

But now it's 2012 and I have a whole new outlook! This is shaped by two fabulous women, my imaginary BFFs Gail Vaz-Oxlade (Canadian budgeting wonder woman) and Mireille Guiliano (champagne CEO and author of French Women Don't Get Fat). Somewhere between the Be responsible with your money! philosophies of the first, and the Eat a croissant when you want, but just one! philosophies of the second, I'm going to pay down my debt this year. And look fabulous while doing it.

You can read this post to see what a French diet book has to do with debt, and this post to see my specific resolutions for 2012.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make a baguette using my own ingredients because I'm frugal and French like that.
