Unfortunately, a month into my minimalist journey my cousin died from kidney ...
Motherhood + Entrepreneurship And The Journey To Minimalism
My days are like any other normal day. That is if your day consists of working on multiple projects, having a super active toddler forcing you to race around coffee tables, not being able to eat dinner until after 9 pm or taking a shower late at night all while growing another human in your belly.

Is it Ever Worth Buying a New Car?
The great debate: to buy new or to buy used? There’s something so appealing about that new car smell, the sensation of breaking in the seat and wearing down the steering wheel to the contour of your own preferences, taking ownership in your proudly-purchased set of wheels… it’s so appealing, in fact, that it almost blinds us entirely to the huge money lost when shopping directly off the lot—or rather, the money lost the moment you drive it off the lot.

But I ...
