In today's post, I'm going to talk about some common assumptions about frugal people and hopefully set the record straight!I hate the word frugal!

Make your home look expensive on a budget with these easy tips!For the last few years, one of my New Year's resolutions has been to finish painting all of the walls in the house white and last year, I finally got around to doing the last wall so my goal now is to start replacing the last random pieces of furniture that I have with pieces that I love rather than things I just bought because it was all I could afford at the time.
