I run a couple times a week. I love competing against myself. I am always asking … Continue reading Why Do we Tie Salary to Worth?

Self-care does not need to cost a lot of money. Self-care can be simple with taking a walk, reading a walk, or listening to your favorite song.
Signaling Change to the Universe
In 2015 I left public accounting to work locally in a hospital's finance department. Public accounting was more fun than I expected it to be. The recruiters during college made public accounting out to sound awful. They tried to bribe me with bagels to come work for their company. Nice try. I wasn't working a … Continue reading Signaling Change to the Universe

Would This Fit Into a Tiny Home?
A couple years ago I did my KonMari tidying event on a self-imposed dare. See before I walked into my local library I said to myself if the Marie Kondo book was on the shelf then I would read it and do my own KonMari tidying event. This was sort of the triple dog dare … Continue reading Would This Fit Into a Tiny Home?
Tupperware Parties are Coming Back! – My Frugal Ways Avoided the Party

It was all of that burnt orange, yellow, and green from maybe a 1970s Tupperware party that I grew up using. Anyone else remember these? My Mammy … Continue reading Tupperware Parties are Coming Back! – My Frugal Ways Avoided the Party
