2016 Achievements

2016 Achievements

My 2016 has been mostly marvelous. We all can’t have a perfect year, can we? But the good outweighed the bad, and that typically means a good ol’ time. Last year, I wrote a post regarding my 2016 intentions (yes, I’m a total believer in intentions and resolutions or whatever. It’s important to have goals!). […]

Sunday Savings: Sell Everything!

Hey y’all! My husband and I had an amazing but tiring weekend. We are working on a rather large project that we are not revealing quite yet, but we needed moolah for it. We’ve been living on rice and beans (well, the Paleo way. Greens and less meats) in order to save up as much […]

Tidying Marathon Series: My Kitchen

Let’s spark joy in this house! I’ve been absolutely loving my living room and closet area. Everything is organized, minimalist, and clean. It brings a smile to my face when I walk into these rooms because only the items I have chosen to stay are in my home. A home full of joy. Thanks, Marie […]

What That Cup of Coffee Will Cost You by the End of This Year

What That Cup of Coffee Will Cost You by the End of This Year

Starbucks is definitely one of my favorite splurges. Since the Whole 30, I have only been getting one of their pure, black coffees 1-2 a month. Starbucks also has a 300% markup….whoa! So how much will this cup cost you? Well, USA Today has a coffee calculator! Who knew? If you bought a tall veranda […]

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 […]

Small Vignettes (Our New Rehabbed Home)

Hey everyone! I haven’t mentioned much of this, but just over two months ago we bought our first house in the historic neighborhood of Dignowity Hill. More people know about it now, but even I was stumped when I heard of such a neighborhood. In San Antonio, when you hear of downtown or southtown, people […]

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 […]
