Ballin' on a Budget!

This is one of my favorite sayings as I shop-hop, and debit-dip. So, this of course comes to mind while I'm Wedding Dress hunting. Unfortunately, the particular gown I am gazing so intently at, is well outside that "ballin" budgetary. So, my question is, Is it really really worth it Ladies?? They say #1 rule is, Do NOT hold back on "the" dress. I'm a no regrets kind of girl, so I'm thinking SPLURGE-TASTIC of course! We'll see what happens officially, but that is the current status for the White Wear = Pending.

On to the next topic, US! We went and tasted cupcakes at a possible cake vendor, and Vanilla Bean Dream is delicious. I be-dazzled my iphone this week, and I'm super stoked about it. I cooked Rosemary pork-chops last night for dinner and it was a party for my taste-buds. If you ever need a pretty quick dinner fix, try it sometime!

Loads of love. Text me, send me flowers, bring me a smoothie. Whichever. :) See ya next week.

  1. it all depends on what is important to YOU, jana! for me, the dress was not the splurge, but that's my personality. do it your way, and you're right, you'll have "no regrets." but of course, it is VERY hard to have regrets, even in the wedding, as long as you're married the one you love! ;) good luck, girl!
