This week, there was lots of great content out there on some of my favorite blogs. Most of the blogs I read focus on personal finance, some on green living, and others on blog promotion. Here are just a few posts that stood out:
- Get Rich Slowly’s “Just Say “No” to Credit Cards: An example of how some people live without them. I, for one, lived without a credit card for 5 years because I had wrecked my credit. It made purchasing things easier in some ways, as I absolutely needed to have the cash on hand before making a purchase.
- Rainy Day Saver’s “Doing Your Research: Tax Credits and Deductions”: I learned something from this post; make sure you file for your energy efficiency tax credit. Great tips for that dreaded season.
- Fabulously Broke in the City’s “Overlooked Fashion Niches”: I’m not much for fashion or clothes, but she made a great point: many women do not fit the standard modeled clothing.
- Sweating the Big Stuff’s “Samurai Alexa Ranking Challenge”: A big thanks to Daniel for posting the updated stats and sites for all those participants, including me
! - Treehuger’s “Lessons in Sustainability Learned from Slumburbia”: Sprawling suburbs are wreaking havoc on our ecosystem. One that touched my heart.
- Planting Dollar’s “The Power of Why”: This post really digs into why we do what we do. The more we question, the better we become at navigating and achieving our goals.
Happy Valentine’s Day! (I know it’s tomorrow, but that’s my day off.)

Thanks for including me in the roundup
I think it’s difficult for retailers to fit every body type, BUT they are really overlooking some major points in what they actually put out each year, such as sticking to classics and cuts that flatter everyone.. and then changing 10% of the pieces into trendier items so we aren’t left out in the cold only being able to wear green or pink as THE colours this year.

@Rainy Day Saver – Thanks so much and Happy Valentine’s Day to you too!
Thanks for the links, the Slumburbia article ties in nicely with your previous two posts! Also, I really like what Fabulously Broke had to say about keeping things classic. It reminds me of one of my favorite books, reviewed here:
