What's in the name: The Newlywed Journal

me & my hubby

Ok. So the blog's name is The Newlywed Journal, and it consists of post about Food, Fashion, and Deals. Where's the connection?

The Newlywed Journal brings the topic of food and fashion to a whole new level that is suitable for newlywed or married couples.

And why is that? Being married requires a careful financial planning strategy. Depending on your financial situation combined, you might not eat out as often like you were still single. Nor will you go out every weekend like you would back then.

Instead of SPEND, SPEND, & SPEND, you should be thinking of spending smart. It gives a new challenge, but trust me, it is also enjoyable (if not more). The area I'd like to focus on is food and fashion. So I'd post about items or deals on food and fashion that I think are worth investing in :)

I know that many fashion blogs out there are largely directed towards singles, or one gender. While on my fashion page I'll explore deals for both males and females, in case your hubby doesn't like shopping like mine =p And it'll focus on office look that are suitable for Singapore hot weather.

While for food page, I'll publish healthy recipes for two that require 30 minutes or less to prepare. Those recipes are really suitable for busy professional couples out there. Eating in is always a good way to save money, as well as to bond with your spouse. Take my word on that.

Back to the financial realm of married couple, yes being married has its own benefits. You might not spend as much on housing because you and your partner are living together now. But living together also has its own challenge. How much will you cook, how much will you spend on groceries, entertainment, etc? Now that you have a bigger financial goal down the road like buying a house, making an investment, or sending your children abroad, every penny matters. Hopefully you, my dear readers, will find this blog useful :)

Yours trully,


Maria
