Life Updates

• I just got a tuition rebate on todays paycheck for $184 which brings me to $482 dollars in my "course fund" which is more than enough to sign up for next semesters course.
• Speaking of courses we are wrapping up this semester, all assignments are submitted and now I just have to study for the exam in 11 days!
• I also got that retro pay that I told you guys about 2 posts ago. After taxes it was about $200 extra. In total for that pay, I put away $300 into my "Portugal Fund" which now has $1076!! :)
• I have heard a lot about how if you write a company about their products they will send you coupons. So I wrote to Marcelle, a Canadian skin care and cosmetics company whose facial toner I have been using for years. I told them how much I liked their products and also mentioned that I have noticed the toner I used to use was not at Shoppers Drug Mart anymore. I requested any samples they may have available and any coupons as well. They wrote me a nice reply saying that toner I was using had in fact been discontinued (which was what I thought) and suggested a suitable replacement. They also sent me 4 coupons each for $2 off ANY Marcelle product! Woo!
• I'm not sure if I mentioned this before but I got a coupon off Wagjag for a hair salon called Trade Secrets. It was only $35 for wash, cut, colour and style which is pretty good. I was a little nervous having never been there before, but the girl was great and I'm very happy with the colour. I had it a pretty bright red before, and now I'm closer to my natural colour, its a dark chocolate brown. It's a bit darker than my natural colour actually, probably darker than it's ever been. There is a still a tad bit of red showing through which looks neat actually so I'm super happy with it!
