Art Journalling: A Visual Diary
When I was little, I used to keep a 'diary.' You know, one of those ones with the lock and key with Disney princesses on the front cover that you'd get at your local Dollar Store?

In this post I will explain why to keep an art journal, when to art journal, and what you can put in it.

How to Sell Your Old Clothes for Money!
When I was younger, my mom used to make me throw my old clothes that were too big or small for me anymore in a trash bag. She'd take our enormous collections that we gathered to the local Goodwill store and donate them.

How I Made Being Frugal Fun
I’ll admit—budgeting, micro-investing, side hustling, spending trackers—none of it started as a game.
