Christmas in New York had been on my wish list for as long as I can remember. The year before last, I finally went with Miss Frugal and honestly… it was one of the best trips we’ve ever had. But as magical as it sometimes looked in the photos, the reality was definitely a bit different a lot of the time, so I thought I’d share the reality behind some of the pictures I posted at the time. 😊From the moment I booked the trip, everyone I told was instantly jealous and full of “Oh my gosh, New York at Christmas is magical!” And I believed every word. I researched, I planned, I watched … [Read more...]
Super smooth lips – the frugal way….
Today is all about how this amazing homemade lip scrub can give you super smooth lips without the usual price tag!We’ve all heard about the benefits of exfoliating our body and face, haven’t we? But our lips are one of those areas we tend to forget about completely. A gentle lip scrub can make such a difference though.

It looked gorgeous. When I shared a photo of it on Instagram, my … [Read more...]

It’s not often that something I picture in my head turns out exactly the way I hoped, but these cute little … [Read more...]

And even if unicorns aren’t your thing, stick around because you can use absolutely any colours you like to make these. 😊I didn’t wake up planning to make unicorn bath salts at all. I was actually meant to be tidying out my baking cupboard when I found the gel food colourings I used for my no-bake unicorn fudge a while ago. And because I’ll do anything to avoid tidying a cupboard, I decided to see what else I could make with them.Bath salts were pretty much the only … [Read more...]
