Psssst. I was on TV last week. We’ll get to the pants part later.

I know I didn’t tell you guys, but y’all know I had to preview the segment before it was broadcast it to the world. I mean, for the second time. You know, ’cause it already got broadcast to the world the first time without my pre-approval.… Read More

I haven’t really shared much about my happy place. Yes, I like to share pictures and a funny story or two, but not that many people have a lot of insight into what exactly I do when I’m up there.

I wish I had something really wild and exciting to tell you, but the truth is — there just isn’t much to say.… Read More

A moment of sunshine in between rainstorms:

• Boots: Xtra Tuf
• Jeans: Jeggings from Target
• Sweater: Thrifted
• Llama (aka: Astrid) : Priceless

It’s been a while since I did a fashion post. Fall hasn’t really gotten here and, in fact, it’s been in the 80s for the past six weeks. Plus, taking pictures, editing them, and then making collages is more time consuming than one might think — it takes FOREVER.

Just say NO!

Are you addicted to Uggs? It’s ok. I used to be, too.

Now that Labor Day is behind us and fall weather is just around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to hold an Uggs intervention.

Last week I wrote about some of my most recent thrift store finds.

It’s no secret that I have a bit of an addiction to thrifting. I just can’t get enough of the thrill of the hunt. One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to hit up the local thrift stores of whatever town I happen to be visiting or passing through.… Read More

A while ago I saw this cray-zay cute pin on Pinterest with a picture of a cray-zay cute girl with a scarf on her head. And whooda thunk — the pin led me right to a tutorial on how to do it myself!

Thank you, cutest girl ever with the best hair ever and the easiest tutorial ever.… Read More

I know this hairstyle looks fancy and all, but it’s my “I need to wash my greasy hair” ‘do. And yes, I’m still off the ‘poo — I’ll write about it another time. I still stand by the fact that these braids are really easy to do yourself.

You can even check out my double french braid tutorial so I can say I told you so.… Read More

It’s been a while since I’ve done a Thrifty Mama post. It seems as though time on the island quickly slips away from me. I also didn’t bring a ton of clothing with me, so it’s not like you guys want to see post after post of my old jeans and Target tanks.… Read More
