Project Pan: The Last in the Series

Project Pan: The Last in the Series

Hi there! I have been participating in the beauty trend/social media challenge #projectpan, and I feel like it is time it’s over. It has taught me so much and I have gotten to the point where I am not spending money because “I don’t have something.” It was a combination of the book Spark Joy […]

2016 Book No. 6: The Butterfly Garden

Hey everyone! So far, I’ve been reading a book a month this year. I’ve realized that is what my lifestyle allows and it makes me happy that at least I am reading far more than last year, so I shouldn’t punish myself for not reading “enough.” This month, I decided to switch to a mystery […]

June 2016-Almost Halfway There!

Happy June, folks! At least I hope it’s a happy day for y’all! I came to the realization that just like recent years, everything seems to be flying by. I recall sitting down in my high school classrooms waiting for the second hand to touch the minute hand, then on to touch the hour hand. […]

Project Panning and Sparking Joy

Project Panning and Sparking Joy

Good morning, everyone! Since I’ve been project panning, I have been taking a hard look at my shopping habits. I used to be horrible! The reason is due to not tidying up my cabinets and seeing what I already had. It’s been an insane amount of things I have gone through, and I can’t believe […]

No-Spend-February (and 1 item that will save you $$)

Alright, everyone, I’ve been participating actively in my no-spend-challenge this month and I felt the need to motivate whomever is having a difficult time doing this. Look. It’s one month. If you have any special occasions like birthdays, yes, it’s an exception that you can take, but that’s it. It should have been budgeted at […]

I Finished the Whole 30: Update and Thoughts

Woohoo! So last week I was thinking, “I can’t wait for this challenge to end!” And this morning I said, “maybe I won’t have honey in my tea like I normally would pre-whole30.” Who am I? There’s been a major difference this fourth round (I’ve done it the past three years towards the beginning of […]

The February No-Spend Challenge

So, it’s happening again! The month of no-spend-at-freaking-at-all. If you’re a consistent reader of this blog, you are an extremely crazy budgeter and debt-free seeker. I would like to do this as a year-long experiment in the future, so here is my basic layout. For the month of February, I will only be spending on: […]

Selfie Sunday: Whole 30 Week 3

Ahh…I can see the finish line clearly. 🙂 I am excited to say that we’ve gone out quite a few times due to family social events, but we stayed compliant! Enter cheering and clapping. Thank you, thank you. But I’ve gotta tell you, it was very hard to stay in the system. There were chocolate […]

Say Yes to Bacteria: The AO Biome Solution

Say Yes to Bacteria: The AO Biome Solution

Hey there! If you’ve been keeping up with your 2016 intentions, you know that one of mine is to be more “natural” (whatever that may mean in the end. Too much information can lead to organic overload!). I wanted to review a product I have been using for the past month called AO Biome, a.k.a Mother […]

Happy Birthday, Noel: Her Impact on My Life

I had forced my husband to go with me on a froyo-run (y’all know that’s a thing) when I received a phone call from one of my best friends a few years ago. “What up, Alex?” “Why are you being all gangster?” “It’s gangsta.” “Uh, yeah, anyways…I called because I wanted to tell you something […]

Weekend Recap: Valentine’s and Races

Hello all! Just wanted to share some great experiences about my weekend (Yes, I guess I’m being selfish and not sharing anything of value here, but I will TRY to review them for the sake of being helpful!).
