52 Week Money Challenge
In 2013, Krystal took on the 52 Week Money Challenge and tracked her progress on the blog. The challenge involves saving a small amount each week — starting at $1 in week one and increasing by $1 each week through week 52. By February 2013, she had reached Week 7 and saved $28 to catch up.
The posts offered motivation and accountability for readers joining the challenge alongside her, with honest updates on staying on track.
Holiday Shopping & Deals
Around the holidays, the blog featured shopping tips and deal alerts to help readers save. In November 2013, Krystal highlighted Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers from brands like Hollister and Vitabath, as well as a Swagbucks Rewards Store gift card sale posted on November 27, 2013.
Pet-Friendly Finds
Occasionally, the blog ventured into pet territory. Krystal reviewed dog treats, sharing her thoughts on quality, ingredients, and how her own pup reacted to the products — a fun detour for fellow pet lovers.
