It’s no secret that I’m NUTS for all things holiday. I recently bought three hand carved pumpkins at Homegoods, which are patiently awaiting their debut until fall decor is socially acceptable, which I’m thinking is quite soon. OK, OK, I know what you’re thinking… I’ll show you what they look like…. Also, come September 25ish, my 700 square foot condo WILL look like Halloween threw up in it. This is…
I mentioned before that there are plenty of non-material gifts out there if you’re really on a tight budget this year. However, let’s be real here, there are some people in your life whose love language is gifts, and would be disappointed if they did not receive something material from you. Here I’ll go through some great gift ideas that are super budget-friendly and are things that people will genuinely…
Have I mentioned I love Christmas? One thing I don’t love about it, however, is how so many people break the bank with presents and decorating. While I certainly understand the temptation, there is indeed a way to do decor on the cheap from shopping at the Dollar Tree. I’ll note that this post is not sponsored, so I’ll be brutally honest as to what is worth buying and what…
‘Tis the season to shop and show everyone you know how much you love them. Less than a month from today, you will steal the morning with the nicest, most expensive and impressive gift ever and pay for it until March. Right? Maybe in days past, but not this year. This year, you can still show friends and family how much you love them without sending yourself in to debt.…
How’s that for a long title? Happy Thanksgiving week, friends! Between now and Christmas, as crazy as it sounds, I promise to post every week day! That’s right! I’m back. OK, on to the post… For as much as I love the convenience of Amazon, I am not one to pay extra for shipping, etc., when a trip to Target is only mildly inconvenient.. Plus, let’s be real, I love…
Hi, Friends! I’m visiting my family in Ohio this weekend and was reminded by our local news that NOW, yes, NOW is the time to start Christmas shopping. With the temperatures (finally) dropping, apple cider heating, and pumpkin patches to be visited, consider this your friendly reminder that Christmas is closer than you might think. Maybe you’re not the best planner. Maybe Christmas is so far out of your mind…
If you get me in a room for five minutes, odds are quite high that I’ll mention something about Trader Joe’s. I love it. I love that it’s affordable. I love that it’s on the healthier side. I love the in-store samples, especially when the samples involve chocolate chip cookies. I love that there’s a little bit of a lifestyle that surrounds shopping at Trader Joe’s. I love Trader Joe’s.…
I find it amazing how many people set savings goals as new year’s resolutions, and, already at this point in the year have completely missed the mark. I admit that there was a point in life that I was one of these people, but not anymore. By following these simple little steps, I was able to save for many wonderful things, as well as have peace of mind in case…
Despite my greatest efforts to be financially responsible for Christmas, I have to admit that I feel more than a little short of my goals. Looking back at my bustling social calendar, I understand why things didn’t go so hot, and I’m super motivated to get rolling this year. As my first blog post of 2018, I thought it was only appropriate to be honest.. I know I can get…
[wysija_form id=”1″] Alright, blog babes, it’s time to get real here. I, Britt, am in debt. OK, it’s nothing major, and it’s completely self-inflicted, but I am (in a tiny way) in debt. The hot water tank in my condo recently died, so I had to replace it. Now, I have an emergency fund for things such as this, but I decided I wanted to pay it with my summer…
