Broke-Ass Time Filler: Having Sex

The sexual tension in this photo is almost as taut and thick as this woman’s inner thigh. I bet the guy is not exactly slack-muscled either. I always hear people complaining about their girlfriends (and sometimes boyfriends) being expensive. First off, you’re dating the wrong people. Secondly, it doesn’t have

DIY: Pendant Lamps

If, like me, you’re living in a house that was built over a hundred years ago, chances are you also have some pretty dim built-in fixtures and could use an additional burst of light. However, light fixtures can be surprisingly expensive and/or a pain in the butt to install. The

Cheap Beauty Tip of the Week: DIY Face Masks

Five-star spa facials are amazing. They’re also quite expensive. If you can afford to take time off of work and splurge on something as luxurious as a spa day, lucky you! But just because your broke doesn’t mean your skin has to suffer and you can’t pamper yourself. For all
