The only time I complain about having too much money is
on the last day of a trip in a foreign country.
If I have local currency in my wallet, I try to spend it as quickly as
possible. Inevitably, I come home with
at least a few coins. Other world-traveling friends have
complained about the same thing (first world problems, I know!). So the beautiful paper and coins sit at
home in boxes and junk drawers collecting dust. As we continue to travel, it continues to
accumulate. (Disclaimer: At the risk of
sounding like an ungrateful brat with money to throw away, let me clarify
that the amount brought home from a trip is typically under $20 USD. Many times it’s under $10 or $5 USD, so
barely enough to buy a couple gallons of gas or a latte!) Like most twenty-something white girls who need advice, I turned to Pinterest for help. Here's what they told me to do.

Treat Yo Self
Today I left the laundry on the floor, the dishes in the sink, and the lawn un-mowed. (It will still be there tomorrow... unfortunately!) It was time for a "me" day.
I'm usually really bad at this. In my free time I like to get chores done or catch up with friends. I don't particularly like doing things by myself. But today it was a treat! I haven't gone to a movie in months, so I picked out an indie film that I knew my bf wouldn't want to see, a quirky Woody Allen type. I'm wrapping up the day with Indian take-out and the latest episode of the Kardashians. What do you do enjoy doing when you have a day to yourself?

Snacks on a Plane
I'm up early on a Saturday morning because I'm jet lagging from my Euro trip! I returned Wednesday from a jaunt to Eastern Europe with a couple of girls from work. Since it's June, of course I'm working on my "summer bod", and a lot of that effort has been for naught thanks to an overly indulgent birthday weekend, followed by this trip. Since I always succumb to eating airplane food, mostly out of boredom, I tried to be healthy, at least at the start! Here's what I packed and brought on board with me the day I left...
