Coachella Bound & the 52 Week Money Challenge

For a girl who hasn’t been to a live concert before, I sure do love them!!! At least once in my life, I’m going to spend a weekend at Coachella in Indio, CA (a desert!) and camp under the stars in a tee pee by lake Eldorado. Kathy, one of my best friends–we are Sam & Kat, is going with me to the other side of the country for this! We’re planning on saving a few grand each in order to pay for all our expenses; plane tickets, tee pee, VIP passes, and more for Coachella 2017! I would totally be asking to go sooner if it weren’t for the fact that we have to be 18+ to be on our own without a legal guardian/parent present!

The total cost: $2,000+ for each of us. We’re doing the 52 Week Money Saving Challenge for 2 years. I decorated my jar to motivate myself to keep saving up for Coachella. If you don’t know what the challenge is; on the first week we add $1 to the jar, on the second week we add $2…on the fifty-second week we add $52. Until we get a grand total of $1,300+ at the end of the year saved. (You can also choose to do it in reverse or other increments.)

I bought a mason jar from Michael’s Arts and Crafts and decorated it for 2014 savings 🙂

 

Just Another Winter Day Where I’m Not in London…

If you  haven’t noticed all the signs yet, I’m obsessed with all things British! It all started during my freshman year of high school when I was a fangirl of One Direction. It’s so embarrassing when I think about how obsessed I was over them, especially Zayn Malik, the one with the hot bad boy vibe. Those days consisted of photoshopping my head into pictures, listening to all their music, and freaking out about them with other Directioners. I have no ragrets! (And no, I didn’t make a typo, if you didn’t get that reference, please go and watch We’re The Millers [Rated R] somewhere, it’s a hilarious movie!)

It’s almost time for Vietnamese New Year! I love 2014 so far, it’s been a great 11 days. For the next 20 days, I’ll be attending some dance practices to prepare for an event at my temple and it’s taking up all my weekend time! So instead of doing homework like I should be, I’m making a website/blog.
