Owning versus renting is a huge discussion these days. People are either all about renting or throwing their money into owning. It doesn’t even matter what it is: homes, cars, clothes. You name it, there is a discussion about it. While I am a big proponent of saving money, I also know it’s important to consider how you spend it. The Pros and Cons of Owning Pros: You’re building equity. Especially in things like homes, when you purchase it, you are continuing to build your financial portfolio and continue to build wealth. After you finish paying it off, no one can take it from you. This is huge. Especially if…

Tuckernuck is having their online sample sale today and tomorrow! This morning I shared the news here and said I would be shopping the sample sale after school. Well, the time has come!

The Tuckernuck Sample Sale is online for the first time ever! Tuckernuck has a store in DC, which is where this sale is normally hosted. However, with COVID, they switched it to be all online. I am so glad to shop around the site. I love what Tuckernuck has to offer, but can’t afford a ton of it on a teacher’s budget (hello, Barbour). The sale is only 48 hours, January 6-7, so make sure to hop on and take a look around. Tuckernuck has also said they’ll be adding more pieces on the second day. They have it set up like a Lilly Pulitzer sale, where there is a…

Valentine’s Day is coming up! While I typically don’t do much for the holiday (I blame this on being single), I do like looking around and browsing for fun decorations and ways to celebrate! I will say I am usually quite the grinch about Valentine’s Day. Plus, I do love any excuse to shop! One of the usual perks of being a teacher is decorating for holidays. However, this year, I’m not planning on doing anything for Valentine’s. It’s hard to decorate with COVID, since soft surfaces can capture the germs. I’ve really tried to minimize the soft surfaces in my room this year. Likewise, I made this keeping in…

Hi y’all, Okay, it happened. I got dragged into the drama of this season of the Bachelorette. Honestly, Clare, I don’t know what you’re thinking. Obviously, she knows her own feelings; however, I really do not think you could have such strong feelings after two weeks. Especially if you hadn’t talked to them before as they’re claiming. I am very excited for Tayshia though. I truly liked her on Bachelor in Paradise. I definitely thought JPJ could be too immature for her, so I wasn’t too shocked when that relationship ended. I will say JPJ seemed to step up though. Anyway, I digress on my thoughts about the current season…

Hello there friends! I feel like I’ve been running a hundred miles an hour and can’t catch a break. However, I did take the time to vlog this weekend since we worked on rehabbing my friend’s new house! I wanted to share the vlog here, and of course my YouTube channel! Make sure to subscribe for so many videos! Thanks for watching! Make sure to like and leave a comment if you want to! xx, Lindsey Instagram | Twitter | Pinterest | Youtube | Bloglovin’

Hi y’all, Happy August! I’ve been super busy finishing up my summer term classes and then cleaning up my brother’s old room to make it into my office. My school district announced in mid-July that we would have in person classes 5 days a week for elementary school. Both my parents are high risk and we thought the best option at the time was for me to start looking at buying a house. While this was a great opportunity for me to see what I liked and didn’t like in a future home, it ended up not being the best option for me at this moment in time (but I…

Hi y’all, We are continuously seeing companies, especially in the fashion industry, declare some form of bankruptcy. However, what no one seems to be considering is that these companies were already struggling prior to the recession caused by COVID-19. J.Crew was definitely already struggling, mostly due to a buyout. However, from a shoppers perspective, clothes there are expensive, that you can buy at J. Crew Factory or J. Crew Mercantile for a fraction of the price. Plus, there is always a sale, so why buy anything full price? J.C. Penny was also already struggling, along with Neiman Marcus. Pier 1 has actually been in the process for a while of…

Hi y’all, Well, it’s officially day 30 of blogging every day for a month. Y’all, I’m so glad that I challenged myself to put out 30 posts. It was definitely helpful in learning more about myself and more about some of the parts of blogging that I often forget are just as important as the actual post. I started this challenge with My 5 Year Plan, wrote multiple book posts, gave a fitness update, and shared a 101 in 1001 update. First, I definitely learned that it gets tough to put out posts every day for 30 days. I know that I used some of these days to post more…
