Helloooo
I can’t believe another week is here and it’s ALREADY the 21st of Jan 😂 This year really feels like it’s flying already.
I have been busy working on Tash Lends (we have a website now!!). Setting this up has been very exciting, but also really challenging in some ways. Going from someone who used to be very frugal, to now starting a new business where you really have to spend a lot of money to then make money in 12+ months time is interesting. At least I’m earning a lot of Qantas points through my Amex in this period of higher expenses 👀
Enjoy this week’s deals! 💃🏻
