Update: Nov 24th 2012
Back in March 2012 I was contacted by a publisher to write a book ! I happily agreed 🙂 The book will hit the shelves Jan 15th 2013 – so make sure to pre-order it today!
So I thought it was time that I added that all-important about me! First off I was born and raised in Sunny Los Angeles, California but now located in Portland, OR. I have enjoyed living here though the traffic can be a headache. I grew up always being very money conscience, I was received a real cash register for Christmas when I was a child. So it is safe to say I was budget savvy from the start. I studied hard through high school and was able to attend the University of Southern California to study History. During my college years I decided to get a job at the happiest place on earth: Disneyland!
It feels like it was forever ago, but Disneyland was a great place to work. But I was always shocked on how much guests would spend on 5.00 pretzels and 20.00 hats they will never wear again. Also this is where I met my best friend and DH, Eric! You know you found your soul mate when he is willing week after week to hold my coupon binder as I find my deals at the local CVS!
After graduating from University of Southern California, I had various jobs in advertising and retail and found out that they were not a good fit at all. So with a push from my family I started this blog. I love helping everyone find those amazing deals and be able to save some money!
I have many hobbies including cooking as well as photography. I love to cook simple meals that have tons of flavor and do not break the bank. I have been able to participate in many cooking competitions including Aetna healthy food fight contest
Answer the call of nature! This adorable animal stand is the perfect spot to rest your phone. Gild it with a monogram, note or a fun design—the possibilities are endless.
