I like to pride myself on almost always getting an AMAZING deal. Much like shopping at Hobby Lobby, if you pay full price for something, you’re doing it wrong. Now, there are certain items where you will likely pay full price. Mostly things with designer labels. Unless you’re buying second hand, I can’t help you. […]

Ways to Stay Connected, Now & Always
I’m pretty much a homebody. My home is comfortable, and I enjoy spending time there. I’ve developed my routine, and it will be difficult if (or when) I have to give that up for someone. However, this COVID-19/shelter in place thing is really kicking my butt. Even a homebody like me went to the gym. […]
Spring Self Care
Happy Spring, friends! Spring is one of my favorites times of year. Well, not all of spring. I just really love the transition from winter to spring when you start getting the sunshine and it begins to warm so you can open up your windows. It’s just magical. In this time of transition between seasons, […]
Spring Cleaning: Getting All Aspects of your Life Organized
I’m fairly certain 85% of the month of March is dedicated to Spring Cleaning. For most people, they’re cleaning their homes…maybe their desks or offices. Some people just keep rolling through the year without any sort of dedicated cleaning opportunity. It’s 2020 now. Spring cleaning is no longer just for your home. Yes, there are […]
#SmileFearlessly: Teeth Whitening for Sensitive Teeth
For years, I have been fighting with my teeth. Thanks to the wonderful generosity of my parents (not sarcastic at all), I was blessed with braces in middle school. I think that was the start of my teeth problems. I mean, for years, there were parts of my teeth that didn’t get brushed because I […]
How to Become a Reader, Even if You Don’t Like Reading
It’s no secret that I’m a reader. Ever since I was little, my parents always encouraged reading. The Book Fair was the best week of the year, made even better by the fact that my mom worked at my school and I could use her teacher discount. In my adult life, I’ve actually met people […]
Goal Planning for People who Suck at Planning Goals
January and the new year are all about setting new goals. What do you want to achieve this year? Who do you want to be this year? Everyone is beautifully motivated in January, but we tend to falter when we hit obstacles on the way to achieving our goals. At least, that’s what happens with […]
2020: The Year of ‘Passion’
Happy New Year, friends! Here’s to fresh beginnings in an even-numbered year with an extra day to do something amazing! Can you tell I’m trying to force this year to be better than the last few? If you caught up with my blog yesterday, then you know I’m not very good at setting goals. I […]
Why I Started Keeping a Book of Lists
At any given time, I have at least ten checklists in my head. Things like house projects, gift ideas, upcoming birthdays… It seem like it will never end. That’s why I’m celebrating National Checklist Day with my Book of Lists. I tried keeping a bullet journal a couple of years ago. It was all the […]
11 Ways to Calm Your Anxious Mind
I tend to get anxious sometimes. In the last year or so, I’ve been encouraged to think through my triggers of what works me up or makes me anxious. They’re things like flying, work stress, PMSing, money…really, there’s no shortage of things that can get me worked up. Thus, I’ve come up with a few […]
