Frugal Living

I sometimes entertain notions of starting a Tumblr called "Lifestyle Tips for the Depressingly Frugal." It would feature your usual lifestyle blog photography (macro lens!) and tips for people who are comfortable admitting that even the simulacra of luxury - the how-to's of real lifestyle blogs -  are still out of their league. For example, my recent tip: when you can't afford the spa, or even the cheap nail bar down the street, you can always read descriptions of expensive spa services online, while rubbing your back as best you can. Unfortunately, my targeted readership probably can't afford weekly yoga classes (which are like $17 a pop), so they should probably prepare for the back rub by... reading descriptions of yoga classes online. Sadly, those are pretty much my only tips (except for my dissertation on the merits of various President's Choice products), so it would be a brief affair.
