Did you know you can earn cash back on everyday purchases with Rakuten? In my latest blog post, I share how I saved over $300 in just 3 months on things I was already buying. From travel bookings to Ulta, DSW, and even Shein (yes, guilty pleasure!), the savings add up fast. Plus, Rakuten is offering a $50 bonus when you sign up and make your first $50 purchase.

Sometimes all we need is a little reminder that we matter, that we’re capable, and that the world is better because we’re in it. One of my favorite things we do at work is give new co-workers a You’re Awesome box of cards filled with uplifting quotes. You can open one each day, or like me, open them all at once (and smile the entire time).

If you’ve been curious about walking pads too, I rounded up five Amazon Prime options that check my main boxes: they can go slightly faster than 4 mph, have space to hold a tablet, and ideally offer a longer and wider deck for comfort.

If you're a new Cavalier parent (or considering becoming one), I wanted to share some of the top Amazon must-haves that have made our life with Duke easier, more comfortable, and a whole lot cleaner. These are products we’ve actually used and loved—affiliate links included!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve noticed a serious lack of good bagel spots in our city. So, I decided to take matters into my own hands and try making them at home. Now, I should mention that I’ve been focusing on a high-protein diet, and lately, the "bagels made with cottage cheese" recipes have been popping up everywhere on my social media feed. Intrigued, I gave it a shot.

And let me tell you – I’m giving these bagels an A+! I was skeptical at first, but they turned out so good!

We all know that every dollar counts, and while it might seem like small savings here and there don't make a big difference, over time they really do add up. In 2025, there are a variety of services and websites that can help you save a few extra bucks without a lot of effort. I’ve been using a few tried-and-true platforms to get discounts, earn cash back, and find the best deals, and I wanted to share them with you. Here’s how I make sure I’m getting the most out of my purchases!

As Christmas approaches, I find myself on a quest to find the perfect gift for my spirited 6-year-old, who is absolutely convinced she’s a teenager in disguise. With her newfound independence and evolving interests, shopping for her has become an adventure in itself! From the latest trendy toys to cool gadgets that make her feel all grown up, I’m on the lookout for something that captures her vibrant personality while still holding onto a hint of childhood magic. Join me as I navigate the world of holiday shopping for my little “almost-teen” and discover what’s on her wish list this year!
