Last time I visited Spain I was a backpacker making do on $25/day. There are some pretty fab hostels that come in under that amount - I remember a particularly awesome one in Toledo. At the other end was the $8/night place on the beach in Valencia - I'm lucky I managed to come out of it without bed bugs, and I think it was condemned shortly after I left. Next time, I will check out one of these places.

The Juice Box from Blu Dot is cute, but it's just screaming for a DIY version made out of a cigar box (or similar) and a surge protector.

I love my dehydrator - I use it to make macaroons, granola (with maple syrup but no sugar), flax seed chips, and I'm going to try out a recipe for potato chips this weekend -- all raw. I don't eat 100% raw (or even 100% vegetarian), but I've found that eating raw when I can has a huge impact on my mood and concentration.

Keep tabs on your spending through something like Mint.com (no affiliation). You enter your credit card info, and it sorts your spending habits into categories. It's easier to cut down on spending when you know what you're spending on. I had no idea I spent as much $$$ on groceries as I do, especially since I don't cook. I don't have the patience to set a budget, but this is a good substitute.

Lord Kakabel, get one or two fluorescent lights from Home Depot and then give your plants about 14 hours of artificial light per day. For about $15, I picked up two 15(-ish) inch tubes that helped me germinate seeds and grow basil. I bought a shoe rack from Target for another $10 to hook the lights onto. It's a nice set-up!

Very Nice!

I love it! Can you give the paint color in your bedroom? It's exactly the shade I've been looking for for my living room. Very nice!
