How to Become a Morning Person
We have all been there, staying up until the wee hours of morning, sleeping 10+ hours only to wake up in the afternoon and repeat. Being a student I have had to change my sleep schedule constantly to suit my work-school schedule. I have had to be both a morning and a night person. When I first started university I had many night classes, hardly any morning classes, and I found I could do my best work at night. I did not have a job so I stayed up and slept when needed. Second year comes around and I have an 8:30 AM class and often start work at 7:00 AM on other days. I have also adopted cats who enjoy waking me up early for food. I am going to tell you how I did it, how I became a morning person... and it won't include the BS that is "exercising in the morning" because not everyone wants to wake up to work out.

Coolest White Elephant Gift Ideas
Christmas is coming up! You know what that means? Family get togethers! Joy. If you mostly have adult's or older kids in attendance, chances are your family will be doing a white elephant gift exchange. That means buying a small, gender-neutral gift, under a set amount of money (Usually under $20). It's a fun little game to play, but- lets be honest, most of these gifts are totally useless and once opened, are probably left to collect dust in a closet or on a shelf somewhere. So here are some neat, and (useful!) white elephant gift exchange ideas.

Tiny House Living
I love watching shows that center on making a home. Whether it's HGTV, DIY Network, Home and Garden, etc., I love to see people transform a structure into their dream home, and the more unique the home, the better I like it.

Ladies, We’re Killing Our Bank Accounts
I can remember being in college, that looking forward to the weekend was the highlight of my week. My best friend and I would plan all week where we were going to go shopping, we always ended-up deciding on Santa Monica because it was the no-brainer for good shopping. Nether of us had jobs at the time, yet we still somehow managed to find some extra cash and blow it all in a few short hours. Any girl who’s ever gone shopping knows it takes one step into a Victoria's Secret, an American Eagle, or into a Guess to easily drop a couple hundred dollars on clothes.

The Hatchback Life
The idea of living and camping out of a car is nothing new. Ever since the advent of the interstate highway in the 20th century, traveling long distances by car in the United States has become a common experience. Families go on summer road to faraway places; vagabonds sleep in the back seats of their vehicles in between stops; and the ability to live a life on the road has become a part of the American Experience: freedom to move around on your terms, and on your schedule.

Organize Your Space and Start Right Now
All About You :) Before we start out, yes, I have read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Most of what that book did was reinforce everything I already knew about cleaning and organizing, and I even disagreed with some of it. I got a few new ideas, but I tweaked them slightly to make organizing even more personal to you, since you are different from everyone else and the way you need to organize will vary from your peers!

The Most Important Part in the Kitchen
Today, more emphasis is being placed on water regulations and conservation methods than ever before. There is no better place to look when discussing these matters than at the faucet. In homes or businesses, sink areas and faucets are hot spots for many daily activities, including cooking, washing dishes, hygiene practices and much more.

Clear Out Your Wardrobe and Make Some Cash
I recently got fed up with the amount of clothes strewn all over my bed and floor — the aftermath of yet another morning lamenting that I had "NOTHING TO WEAR!" when I stumbled upon the epiphany that I would create a capsule wardrobe. While this was a brilliant idea, it meant that I had to get rid of hundreds (literally hundreds, I have a problem) of items of clothing. I wanted to make a little cash while clearing out my closet, as I knew I would be spending money creating my capsule wardrobe (which you can read about in another post linked in my profile).
