Motivation: Financial Series





Recently I have become more and more motivated about becoming financially free. It literally gives me the same excitement buying a new makeup palette used to give me. I would plan all of the looks I could create and what color combinations would be my new go-to, the options were endless. Now, I dream of the things I can completely pay off and what I can do with those freed up funds that used to go to that monthly bill. 

 With this newfound motivation came a lot of research and advice that I sought out. One of the tools that kept popping up was the cash envelope system so I got on Amazon and searched for weeks adding and removing different options as I considered how they would benefit my family and I. After all of my research I kept coming back to the cleaver fox envelops pictured below and found that what I really wanted was not only to be more mindful about my spending but more than that I wanted to be able to track patterns. Being able to see what I am budgeting vs. spending for the entire year was definitely the best option for me. I look forward to starting this process for the month of November and will post an update in a couple of months to let you all know how its going. 

 Let me know if you like these lifestyle posts and if you would like to see more in the financial series I would be happy to create more content!

Hello Everyone!

Hi Ladies! I just wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and tell you a little bit about my vision for this blog and our journey together. About two years ago I started my YouTube channel doing makeup tutorials because buying makeup and playing with it makes my heart happy. In between working full-time and going to school full-time/part-time in addition to being a wife and mother, all those duties seemed to take up most of my time so I let it go for a while but hope to be adding content soon there as well. While I wasn't filming and editing videos or actually teaching myself to edit videos I found myself on a self-development journey as well which isn't something I had thought about or considered before but as soon as I started I knew it was everything I never knew I needed. I don't know about you but I learn by reading or watching then doing so I came across a video by Rachel Hollis talking about mommy guilt. Surely if you're a mom you know exactly what I...

Personal Reset

Being able to notice when you need to take a moment and step back from the hustle and bustle of life and reset yourself is so important. I find myself doing this a couple of times a year and those around me don't always understand. What I don't do is just shut myself and leave people wondering how I feel about my relationship with them is going. I like to have a conversation and let them know that I can't go to that particular event or volunteer to do that thing because I am focusing my time on myself at the moment.  If you are anything like me you have a million things going on at all times work, husband, kids, school, sports, friends, family etc. We can manage everything for a short period of time before we start to feel like we are going crazy. Take time each week to write down what you NEED to do that week and what you would LIKE to do that week. If you have a goal you are working towards try to set aside at least an hour a day to work on it or plan it out differently...
