Travel Credit Cards: The Chase Sapphire Reserve
Travel credit cards…. In 2020 I traveled to Brazil for almost 2 months for Carnaval, living in Copacabana, and boy did I learn a lot. While I was there learning about the history of Samba and the culture, I also found myself learning a lot about traveling in general, and not just traveling – but traveling smarter. It wasn’t until this trip that I had even considered a travel credit card. I returned to find myself singing up for the Chase Sapphire Reserve, which – hear me out – despite it’s $550/annual fee, packs some serious bang for buck, and for some like me, pays for itself in both monetary…

Would you buy a tiny home from Home Depot?
Ready for a change? Looking to downsize or avoid paying expensive rent for a tiny condo or apartment? Want a little land (or maybe a lot)? Well, these are all good reasons to look into a tiny home, and lucky for us, Home Depot now makes this pretty easy with what they call Tuff Sheds. Tiny homes are all the rage right now on Tiktok, Pinterest, and Instagram.

DIY Cheap Garland Made Glam!
I am absolutely obsessed with thick, full, gorgeous lit- up garland to frame a porch or mantel around the holidays! It is so pretty and adds such a beautiful touch day and night, inside and outside. It tends to be so expensive though – running an average of $60 for just 9 feet of pre-lit, glammed up garland, which I was not about to pay. With the new house, I had big plans, but I wanted to put my own touch on it and not spend a ton of money, so I came up with a way to turn cheap garland into faux expensive garland, a mini Christmas tree for…
