Frugal Chic Make Up for Girls in their 30s I LOVE having minimal make up. The satisfaction of using something until it’s well and truly finished is unmatched. And I also love having the opportunity to thoughtfully try and new product the next time round. On that note, my Charlotte Tilbury foundation stick is about to run out and I’ll be in duty free tonight. Any suggestions? Everything is linked in my ShopMy, which you can find on my Substack page (link for that is in my bio) #frugalchic #richgirlhabits #makeuproutine #minimalmakeup

I will trade anything to raise my baby myself. Even half the income. Even 1,000 square feet. And I’d do it again. And again. And again. FIRST—send this to someone who needs the permission💐 Here’s what we live without (on purpose): 💛 No WiFi. No TV. Yes, really. Do we miss it? Sometimes. But it pushes us outside, makes us creative, and keeps screens from quietly stealing our life. We use our limited cellular data wisely. 💛 Rarely eating out. And when we do? Taco Bell or Waffle House. Cheap & cheerful. 💛 No daily coffee runs. Loose leaf tea at home bought in bulk for me. Diet Pepsi only when Kroger does buy-2-get-2 because my husband is addicted🙈 💛 No subscriptions. Actually none. (Except Spotify—we’re music people.) 💛 Clothes only when needed. No seasonal hauls. No trend cycles. Christmas, birthdays, or a rare thrift gem. 💛 At-home haircuts. Cheaper. Funnier stories. 💛 Small, simple home. 1,000 sq ft. Fewer rooms = fewer things. Smaller mortgage = more peace. 💛 No seasonal décor runs. Our home is layered slowly—gifts, travel finds, handmade pieces. 💛 Low-maintenance beauty. Lotion. Face wash. Rarely makeup. No nails. No salon visits. Femininity is deeper than these things, anyways🥰 💛 Bulk + homemade food. Grain sacks. Dry beans. I mill flour. Bake bread. Make yogurt. Slow food > convenience. (And much more delicious) 💛 Thrift first. Always. 💛 Need vs. nice. Nice? Maybe. Need? Rarely. Creativity > consumption! 💛 Hand-me-downs. Baby gear. Tools. Furniture. Clothes. Community > consumerism! FOLLOW me if this encouraged you🥰 We don’t live this way because we have to. We live this way because we want our son more than we want stuff. Life is more than things. And we truly have it all💛 Less noise. More presence. More joy in what really MATTERS!! That’s the trade. What do you think? #stayathomemom #sahm #frugal #singleincome #lessisimore

Homesteading teaches you many things but how to be frugal is at the top of my list. For your cleaner: strain after 2 weeks and transfer to spray bottle for an all purpose cleaner. You can use at full strength or dilute 1:1. Don’t spray it on granite or marble , the acid can sometimes discolour the stone.
