DIY Make-up Brush Cleaner

November 18, 2017
DIY Brush Cleaner

So, I’ll admit it: I don’t clean my make-up brushes nearly as often as I should! I know, I know, that isn’t sanitary! This is a safe space and a judgement free zone haha! Keeping my brushes clean is definitely something I have been working on doing more. I have specific brushes that I use… Read More DIY Make-up Brush Cleaner

My Nighttime Routine That Has Cleared My Skin

November 13, 2017

For as long as I can remember, I have had acne. I remember starting high school and trying so hard to cover up the pimples and uneven skin on my face! I went to dermatologists, tried creams and gels and even Accutane to get rid of my skin problems. (If you ever used Accutane, it… Read More My Nighttime Routine That Has Cleared My Skin

⁣
These are the moments I live for. ⁣
⁣
These are the moments, this holiday season, that I am soaking up as much as I can. ⁣
⁣
What are the moments you are enjoying this holiday season??⁣

Instagram post 2196473907501048305_6234740310 Usually, at this point in the holiday season, we have run around, seen a million people, shopped and been so busy I can’t even think straight. This year? I haven’t even bought anything yet. We haven’t run around at all. ⁣
⁣
What have we done? ⁣
⁣
Spent quiet nights by the tree. Baked cookies. Watched Christmas movies. Laughed. Played. Relaxed. ⁣
⁣
Slowed down. ⁣
⁣
And to be honest, so far, this has been my favorite holiday season ever! ⁣
⁣
Has it been perfect? Nope. Just the other night, my daughter and I went for a very cold walk to calm down after not listening for an hour. ⁣
⁣
But slowing down has given us the chance to soak it all in. The good moments and bad. ⁣
⁣
Has this holiday season been busy for you? Or have you been taking it slow?
Instagram post 2192481602188096682_6234740310 To keep myself intentional with my spending during the holidays, I created this budget sheet. ⁣
⁣
I decided on the amount I am comfortable spending and am writing down everything I buy so I don’t go over budget! ⁣
⁣
If you want help tracking your money this Christmas, DM me & I’ll send you a pdf of this sheet for free! ❤️⁣

Instagram post 2190691696379728425_6234740310 For the past few years, Christmas has been such a source of stress and embarrassment for me.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There have been years where we couldn't afford to buy our daughter presents. Where we felt embarrassed to spend the holidays with family because we received gifts & couldn't give them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One year, we maxed out a credit card just to buy presents.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year? I am doing it differently.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I no longer feel like I need to buy someone a present to show them how much I love them. Or for me to feel good enough. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I absolutely refuse to go into debt just to have something under the tree for everyone in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This year, I will spend time. I will pick up the phone & call. I will tell my loved ones how much they mean to me. I will make homemade gifts for teachers. I will remember what truly matters during the holiday season. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will I buy gifts? Absolutely. But I no longer feel like I need to go into debt to do so. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Minimalism has changed the way I see Christmas. It has given me the opportunity to change my mindset & take the importance off of things & gifts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am more intentional. I am more present & the magic of the little moments has returned!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Who else is vowing not to go into debt buying gifts this Christmas??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2187403007891664032_6234740310 So much to be thankful for. Happy Thanksgiving! ❤️❤️
Instagram post 2182922847537046225_6234740310 When I first started on this debt-free & minimalism journey, I didn't change anything. Literally, nothing.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to get out of debt and change my life but I didn't want to actually do the work that is necessary. And guess what? Nothing changed.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My credit cards were still maxed. I was buying frivolously. Clutter was building up again in my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It wasn't until I decided that enough was enough & it was time to take back control of my finances that I saw a difference!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Want to get out of debt? You have to change your lifestyle. You have to change you spending habits.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Slowly but surely, I have made these changes. And my debt? It is slowly going down. It will take a long time to become debt free, I didn't accumulate this debt overnight, but I am FINALLY on the right track! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Especially with the holidays upon us & the time of year where people spend the most, now is the time to make the change! It is the perfect time to take a stand and take back your financial life!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is one thing you can do to change your lifestyle and spending habits today??⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2182005166084038450_6234740310 Here’s to 33! & simple birthdays with just my husband and daughter, take out and delicious cake. Sometimes, on special days like a birthday, we feel like we should go out and be busy and do all the things. Yesterday, I did none of that. And it was one of the best birthdays I have had filled with small moments and my two favorite people in the world. Do you go big on your birthday? Or do you like to keep it slow and simple?
Instagram post 2179449961646087547_6234740310 I used to do it all wrong. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was so worried about having spending money that I set that aside before putting anything into debt or savings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There was always something I wanted to buy and I made that a priority.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Minimalism has changed all that! Now, if I need something new, I either wait and make do with what I have or put a little aside each paycheck. I have also sold some items on FB Marketplace to put into our new couch fund or for a new pair of jeans.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have learned to prioritize getting out of debt and each month, when my husband and I do our budget, I make sure my bills are paid and an extra payment goes to a credit card before I give myself spending money! (Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely still splurge sometimes and spend way too much on take out because I’m too lazy to cook but that is so much less since changing my habits!!)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a budget each month? How do you give yourself spending money? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2177088624686895614_6234740310 We finished our 10 day decluttering challenge with letting go of these items! My daughter has had the Frozen castle for years and has lost all of the pieces so we will be donating the castle itself! She also lost most of the pieces to the Spirograph so we will be letting go of that! This challenge has been so amazing, for both me & my daughter, and we will be doing it again soon!! Who wants to join?? 🙋🏼‍♀️
