Sharing what I've learned that makes "Cents"

Life is challenging as we all know. These days, it's harder than ever to make ends meet and to let go of stress. So, I find good ways to stretch a dollar, as well as, enjoy life! I find daily ways to live happier and to thrive in a world that can often be challenging. Its always been very important to me that I help others along the way. After all, isn't that what life is about?

Keeping tabs on ways to afford the things that you need, and have a little left for those things you simply "want", is my mission. At the same time, I still leave room for spending quality time with the people and things I love, plus spreading joy when possible.

Hope I can help you in some way, as many others have done for me! Remember...try to always "pay it forward"!

6 Months of no glamour shopping, and going strong!


My New Year's Resolution was to STOP shopping! Can you believe it? No fashion and beauty items for 1 year. It's been 6 months now, and I have kept to it. Although, every now and then I see someone wearing something I would LOVE to own. It takes every inch of my strength to not run out and purchase it. But, I found that I can do it! Plus, I have found so many things in my closets and cabinets that I forgot I owned! So, my year of no new clothes, shoes, purses, belts, make-up, jewelry, perfume, lotions, etc. is still going!

Now, I have become even more of a dollar stretcher. I am slowly becoming the Coupon Queen :-). Check out www.southernsavers.com. This is my year to save money (even more than usual). I would rather that the main love of my life, my son, have that little extra that I would have spent on my 15th pair of black pants! It's awesome!
