I love music - but didn’t have any of my own at my wedding. I spent months (okay, years) planning my wedding playlist. Seriously, I had a playlist on iTunes (and then Spotify) called “Wedding” where I collected all of my (and my now-husband’s) favorite songs. I was so excited for our wedding playlist I even shared it with my friends ahead of time! That probably jinxed it, because when it came Continue Reading
How to Save Money on Your Wedding: The Venue
Oh man, your wedding venue… just thinking about choosing a wedding venue makes me exhausted. If you’ve just gotten engaged or know someone who has - congratulations to you/them! Celebrate and enjoy the blissful feeling while you can, because sooner or later your budget is going to kick in and you are going to FLIP OUT. Okay, I’m being a little melodramatic here, but out of all the things that Continue Reading
How to Save Money on Your Wedding: Food and Drinks
When it comes to wedding food and drink, everyone has an opinion. You thought people’s opinion on your wedding dress was bad? Just bring up “food and drinks” and everyone from your mama to your old cranky uncle is going to have an opinion. And they’re not just giving you their opinions, everyone is basically judging you. From: “You’re offering a full course meal? That’s too expensive!” Continue Reading
How to Remodel Your Bathroom Vanity for $500
In this house, everyone has a side hustle (okay, maybe the pets get a pass). My side hustle is lucrative almost immediately, since I bill clients monthly, but my husband's side hustle is slow... takes a lot more time/body effort... but also has the opportunity to pay off big time. What is his side hustle? Home renovations! Not only does my husband have a huge interest in remodeling homes, he Continue Reading
The Best Starter Face Masks for Oily Skin
Adults tell kids and teens a lot of lies. Some end up being relatively harmless, like “Santa is real!”... only you find out in 4th grade from the class bully that Santa is not and has not ever been real, then you look like a dweeb (thanks, Marcus, you're so cool). But others are straight up lies that continue affecting you even into adulthood, like “your acne will go away when you’re an adult!” Continue Reading
How I’m Getting $400 Worth of Gifts for Free
On Tuesday, I told you how I was able to save $645 this month, even after finishing most of my holiday shopping. Nothing has changed about my monetary situation - I’ve been following my regular budget. While it fluctuates, saving $600 isn’t impossible for me - minus those pesky dishwashers, flooded floors… ;) However, you’ll notice I also mentioned how this time last year, I spent like crazy and Continue Reading
20 Healthy Thanksgiving Side Dishes
It's almost Thanksgiving, everyone! I don't know about you, but I love Thanksgiving... and not for reasons you might expect. Why do I love Thanksgiving?

Are Grocery Delivery Services Worth It?
It all started with a promise, a promise I made to myself and my phone: everything I put in you, Notes app, I will buy at the store and not a single thing more. Yeah, sometimes I talk to my apps, don’t you? I went to the store, super proud of this promise I made, and then suddenly my phone became ashamed of me. I exited the Notes app and, ashamed of myself as well, shoved my phone into my purse. Continue Reading
20 Delicious, Easy 15 Minute Vegetarian Meals
Did you know that eating vegetarian meals can save $750 a year? The study, which you can read more about here, followed a full, year-long vegetarian meal plan, but many of us wouldn't be able to live vegetarian 365 days a year. I know my husband certainly would miss bacon after a while! That said, wouldn't saving a few hundred dollars a year by going meatless most or some days out of the week Continue Reading
