How I did it: My guy and I decided 2012 was going to be the year we get serious about paying off our credit card debt ($11500) and student loans. Using our tax refund and living frugally by our budget, we paid those cards off in less than 4 months. Now we're targeting the student loans. BEST. DECISION. EVER.I can't even put into words how good it feels to no longer have credit card payments. More importantly, it feels incredible to know where our … Read how I did it…
How I did it: I was absolutely determined to make my boyfriend a scarf for Christmas last year...or die trying.It wasn't as challenging as I expected. Actually, I was casting on and knitting within 5 minutes of watching Youtube videos. Purling took me a little longer - maybe 10 or 15 minutes to figure out. Once I could knit and purl, I made a few scarves. Then, naturally, I wanted to broaden my abilities and made some hats and mittens. Now I'm about to… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I made a Grannie Ripple afghan for my MIL for Christmas last year. For several years I had wanted to learn to knit and crochet but never had the time. So I found a crochet-along on youtube and felt pretty comfortable learning that way. (The lady that filmed it is an excellent teacher.) I finished the afghan in a little under a month, because I needed to finish for Christmas. It turned out well, and people could not believe that was m… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I didn't really actively do anything. It actually happened to me. I got very sick with a chronic illness 2 years ago, and I've witnessed first-hand how remarkable the body is in healing and repairing itself. THAT'S real beauty. (And, heck, no photoshop!) Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took me so long, because a lot of the toxicity came from my parents and other family members. It's hard to just cut off family. I managed to cut them out a few years ago, but still had some negative friends, etc in my life. I got really sick with a chronic illness, and that was the final kick in the pants that I needed.In order to heal, I need as much positive thinking as I can get. I don't have the energy anymore to help these people … Read how I did it…
How I did it: My current bf and I were acquaintences for several years before we started hanging out more and more. It was so ridiculously comfortable and awesome that I quickly knew he was going to become my best friend. We started dating. Four years later it's still amazing. I love every single day.Before him, I never thought I'd be able to settle down and feared I may have to age alone. I'm incredibly lucky. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I'd watched a friend change my oil before. It looked pretty straightforward, so I just went ahead and tried it. The first time it took me awhile, but now I can do it in less than 45 minutes, from start to finish (including jacking up the car, etc.). Now I can save a bundle, doing it on my own. Plus, my boyfriend and various other dudes I know think it's hot that I can do it myself. ;)I even taught my bf how to change his own oil. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I LOVE Threelac! I’m so glad I used it. It’s the only thing that worked for me. I only wish I had used it 2 years ago when I initially started having Candida issues.I read all the testimonials on amazon.com for several weeks before finally trying it. I was desperate and scared to get my hopes up. But it definitely killed off the Candida…and fast! I now swear by it and continue to take it daily.The probiotics need not be refrigerated.… Read how I did it…
How I did it: It took me several months to completely remove processed foods and sugars from my diet. But I'm so glad I stuck with it. I've lost 11 pounds. My blood glucose stays level, so I no longer suffer lethargy and sugar crashes. I feel stable, have energy, and my mind is much calmer. I no longer get irritable and cranky for no reason. I used to take medication for ADHD and anxiety, and I don't anymore. A clean, healthy diet is paramount to copin… Read how I did it…
How I did it: but I finally pulled it off! I think it's because I did not have to work this semester. Also, I put off my independent research project until this summer (I've got a very benevolent advisor!). With that being said, I got a 3.91 this semester!! Best semester yet. Too bad it's my last one, but, hey, I'm going out with a bang, right? Read how I did it…
How I did it: My geography is the only thing I can think of that limited me in getting back into tap dance (hence, the 3 years duration). Lack of enthusiasm was never a factor! In my area, it was very, very hard to find schools that offer instruction in adult tap, especially for 'beginners.' Although I danced when I was younger, it's been 15 years, so I needed a refresher. My teacher is great and very accommodating to all of her students' needs. This i… Read how I did it…
