Are you ready to stop living paycheck to paycheck? Guess what?! You have the power in YOU to do it. You get to decide where your money goes! I like doing my budget on a spreadsheet online, so I have access to it on my phone and my computer. Here are my top ten tips: […]

I’m a redhead, and that means my little eyelashes are red and blonde. I have hated this for as long as I can remember! I was so jealous of girls who had dark, thick lashes. In junior high or high school if I wasn’t wearing mascara, people would ask me if I was OK, if […]
