Fabric Filter Mask (with nose piece and T-shirt ties)
If I can do this, YOU CAN TOO! I am a big believer in DIY and use what you already have before buying more. I wanted to create a face mask with resources that I already have, instead of going out to buy more. As well as, creating a nose sleeve/piece where a paper clip…
Bathroom Flowers
I love having fresh flowers in the house, in particular, in the bathroom so every morning I see them while getting ready and start my day. I usually try to spend around $5 for a bundle and Trader Joe’s is a good place to find them; however, while at Michael’s I came across these really…

At that temperature and creating body heat, you’re melting and sweat is going to drip into your face. So with staying frugal and especially…
Spending Fast FINISHED: Conclusions and Lessons Learned
