DIY Mint Chocolate Chip Body Butter
I love being pampered which means that I adore a bathroom full of smelly good creams and things that make me feel pampered.

Olive Garden is one of my favorite restaurants for date night with my Tom, but unfortunately, it's usually pretty far out of my restaurant budget.

If I've learned nothing in my almost 4 years of living in Texas, it's what a real burger should taste like. Tom and I like to joke that I came to Texas to visit him, but I stayed for the food. Do me a favor and don't let him know that he's actually kind of right. No, not really, but ...

3 Ways to Save Big on Glasses
I've worn glasses since I was 9 years old and in case you haven't noticed? Glasses can be super expensive and contact lenses? Totally worse.

Why I Never Throw a Broken Phone Away
Once upon a time, in a land far away, I had a cell phone. Okay, I still do, but the point of that sentence was supposed to be that I have several old and sometimes the occasionally broke phone lying around my house. Add to that the two or three broken tablets (or tablets that have been replaced), ...
