I’m taking over Giving Inexpensively from Alicia today, to tell you about a cool program I learned about at Blissdom earlier this year. Soles 4 Souls collects shoes and gives them to those in need.

When Everyday Minerals asked me to give their makeup a try, I was thrilled to have a new option for inexpensive mineral makeup. I’ve only been wearing makeup regularly for the last several months. I’m just not much of a girl girl and can’t stand the caked feel of most makeups. But, when you hit [...]
Image via Wikipedia Gasoline is one of life’s necessary expenses that really irritates a frugal control freak like me. I can’t control the prices, I can’t predict a sale and I can’t just do without. So, what’s a money saving gal like me supposed to do? Well, ask the experts, of course! The fabulous folks [...]

However, I have worked hard to eliminate artificial dyes & sweeteners from my girls’ diet. This is where the “simply” part comes [...]

Seventh Generation has several products available that are quicker & easier than making your own. Last month, I received a green cleaning [...]

I had an opportunity to review Dapper Snappers as a solution to the problem. Dapper Snappers is an elastic band with four snap settings. Unlike a belt, Dapper Snappers attaches just [...]
Congratulations to Bhav! This randomly selected comment is the winner in our Simple Stencil giveaway. I had such fun with this review—and I’m really enjoying the art on our walls. The front door has gotten a ton of compliments since we put our name on it.
I was exited to have the chance to review The Simple Stencil because we have been working on updating our home decor with wall words for awhile now. I even hosted an Uppercase Living demonstration just for the chance to earn a few pieces—it’s dang expensive! I’ve also bought the cheap stuff in retail stores, [...]
