Happy Blog Birthday!

Happy Valentines Day or Galantines

Be Your Own Motivation and make sure to love yourself and treat yourself to a TIMEOUT.Happy Birthday The EDIT Chaos! I’m super excited to say that today marks my blog anniversary that I (officially) published this blog. Although, the thought of blogging entered my mind years ago, I however did not believe in myself years ago. I, remember sitting on the floor in my bathroom crying, while feeding the baby to write my VERY FIRST blog post. I felt defeated and exhausted with everything that was going on in the world and my life.

I was very happy with how far I had come, but unsure with my emotions of gratitude. I remember thinking to myself, I can do this, I can write a blog. I wanted so badly to write and to express my feelings, to share my cries, my knowledge, to have someone to (talk) with. I had this feeling of emptiness, but also a feeling of grate-fullness. It’s hard to explain. BUT, throughout the feelings I decided to write. Although, I do not have A lot of published posts, I DO have a lot of journaling. Some I will share, eventually and some that is just for me. Those that are just for me, I wrote  in the mist of ALL my emotions. Writing the sh*t out was my form of self care. It was my TIMEOUT. Time, to think, to cry, to laugh, be grateful, find peace, but most of all, find Myself!

How To Thrive With Style While On A Budget

How To Thrive With Style While On A Budget

We all want to look and feel great, but for many of us that can be challenge, when you are Thriving on a budget.

It would be so d*mn amazing to be able to go shopping all the time. However, the reality for most of us is that by the time we’ve spent money on house and kids, there’s just limited funds left to live that superstar lifestyle that we all deserve. BUT with a little adjustments, we ALL Can thrive on a budget.!

Read on and I’ll share with you the ways I try to look and feel great on a budget!

1. e-Bay

When most people think of e-Bay, they think of pre-loved clothes and products. However, when it comes to fashion and beauty there are lots of well known Stores that sell end of season items, and returns in perfect condition.

This is a fantastic opportunity to pick up some real bargains and great quality products at discounted prices.

One of my favorite things to buy on e-Bay are shoes and boots. You can get some brilliant bargains without spending a fortune.

Friends, just wait a few months and I promise you, it will make an appearance on e-Bay!! Also if you’re going to shop e-Bay, Make sure to shop through Rakuten, so you can get cash back on your purchase! I also Promise you, it’s worth it. 

2. Warehouse Sales.

Many Brands have warehouse sales, to clear out inventory, to Make room for new inventory. This is a great way to get items at a really low price.These items are generally in great condition, however they’re now out of season or low inventory count. With it now costing the company more to store the item, rather than the sell of the item.  Friends, you now get the low sale price.

3. On-line Outlet Stores

There are Hundreds of on-line outlet stores where you can find bargains every day. There are too many to list here, but my absolute favorite is Amazon. You can Find it on Amazon in a variety of prices. Check Out my Post on Favorite Amazon Items for a Large Family.  Also, you can choose to have your items shipped together, to save on shipping waste. 

4. Get Cashback When You Buy

Getting cashback on your shopping can bring down your bill significantly. I recommend Rakuten. It’s so easy to use and nice to see a little bit of cash building every time you shop!

5. Stop Buying Things You Don’t Need

You don’t need to change your style to look and feel great. I always say start looking from within. Sometimes all you need is a little Self Motivation. By saving money you will have more to spend on things you love and including a little self care!!

I hope this has given you some ideas of how you can buy New, Higher Priced items a Budget.  AND still Thrive by looking and feeling your best!!
