(D.I.Y) Do It Yourself in this Economy

Life is tough all around the world lately, from mom and pop shops shutting down to, stores like Goody's closing thier locations. If the stockmarket and large corporations are struggling then of course little ole' me just trying to survive on my own is going to have a hard time. Does this mean we should sacrifice all the little things we love? Shopping, going out, facials, mani's and pedi's? Nope!!
