Happy Birthday, Ultimate Money Blog!
A year ago I started this blog because I wanted to share my personal finance story. I wanted to help myself save more money and get out of debt faster. I figured that by putting it all out there on the Internet, I would hold myself more accountable than if I didn’t have something in my face every day. I expected to help many people and inspire others through my own personal journey.
What I didn’t expect was to find such a wonderful, caring community of other personal finance bloggers out in the blogosphere that would inspire me to meet my goals faster and live more simply. I wanted to say thank you to each and every one of you that takes the time to read my posts and take the time to comment. Without you, I wouldn’t still be blogging!
Here are the top 10 my most popular posts from this year:
- My Whole Wheat Bread Recipe
- All Natural Laundry Detergent Recipe
- Making Money Online
- $5 Footlong Subway Sandwich Dilemma
- Why We’re Not Refinancing our Mortgage
- My Envelope Budgeting System
- National City Everyday Rewards Visa Credit Card Review
- My $51 Haircut at Supercuts
- My 9 Month Financial Plan
- My Smarty Pig Review
I’ve got big plans for 2009, and I can’t wait to see what this next year of blogging brings! Thanks for being a huge part of my success!

I am going to try using baking soda for a “no-poo” method. I have tried periods of washing my hair infrequently, but my hair does get oily pretty quickly using this method. Under those circumstances, I add some corn starch to give it a dry look.
For those who are experiencing hair that is too dry, I would recommend conditioning (before washing or while hair is still wet) with a natural oil like coconut, olive, or grapeseed. I understand that moisturizing your hair is especially helpful for curls.
