My Weekend Money Diary #15: A New York City Bachelorette Outing
DIY: Making a $15 Stool Look Way More Expensive
Home decor is something I’ve warned you to curb your enthusiasm on. I’ve specifically said to not worry about having a bar cart when you’re 22.

The Important Thing About Money That Has Nothing to Do With Money
Recently on Instagram I saw a group of friends clinking drinks on a trip and felt a pang–I wish I could do that. Not the traveling part. It’s the traveling with the multiple people part that I suck at. You see, I’m a Vacation Ruiner. The larger the group, the greater the damage. If you […]

When we found out our friends were getting married across the Atlantic, I, forever the maximizer, thought to myself: while we’re in the UK, might as well hop to another European city, right?
