Frugal and Fun Ways to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day
St. Patrick's Day is one of my favorite holidays, even if many people don't really consider it a holiday. The holiday weekend was one of my favorite first dates with my husband (we went to an outdoor rock concert, because March in Phoenix is beautiful and because I was trying to "get into" his music. I ended up getting locked in a porta-potty... story of my life). Also, I look really good in Continue Reading
How to Prepare Your Car for the Summer
This is a sponsored post. When you live in a very hot climate, like Phoenix, AZ is in the summer (we reached 122 degrees - that's 50 degrees Celsius for all my non-US readers - last summer!), we looked around everywhere for a company to come out and install aircon as the heat was unbearable, but as you can imagine, everyone had the same idea and we had to wait a while to get it Continue Reading
How to Save Money on Your Wedding: The Music
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
Get Rid of It! How to Declutter Your Bedroom
It wasn't the plethora of purses falling on me, or the socks falling me, or the gloves I hadn't worn in 5 years that made me declutter my bedroom. It was only when a pair of shorts hit me in the face and scratched me that I realized: I have a clutter problem. You see, these shorts had never been worn before. They still had the tag on them (that's what scratched me) and I had shoved them in the 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
