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
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 […]
Minimalist Monday: Project Pan Update
Hi there! Minimalist monday calls for a decluttering post, my fave! Here is just a quick update on my #projectpan items. You can keep up with me on these mini-inventory-adventures on my Instagram. The photos above are of either finished products (if the whole bottle is shown without any markings) or in-current panning process. […]
Selfie Sunday: Whole 30 Week 2 Update
Hey y’all 🙂 Week 2 is finit of the Whole 30 and I couldn’t be happier with our progress. I’ve had a mixture of feelings and cravings on certain days. I tried my best to note down what days I was feeling what, but why would I bore you with those details? So far, The […]
