Hidden Money

I've been on a journey of debt reduction and minimalizing my possessions.  If I don't use it and it has no emotional attachment (minus my wedding dress), I am selling it and dumping the money on debt.

I started this path of cleaning and purging when I was tired of owning clothing that no longer fit and wanting to pay for a trip without amassing debt and using credit cards.

Since the beginning of the year, I've sold near to $1600 worth of stuff, most items in the $5.00 range, although with the higher priced items, it averages out to about $8-10 per item.  

This bra represents a whole lot to me!  I am part of a few Dave Ramsey Facebook groups and people quite often say they have nothing to sell.  I beg to differ. You have a lot more than you think.  Think outside the box.  This bra has been sitting in my drawer for about 5 years, still with tags on it.  I bought it to wear under my wedding dress, but that didn't work, so rather than take it back to the store, I kept it 'just in case'.... my sweet lord!  How foolish.  

Fast forward 5 years.  I have had this thing listed for sale for about 6 months.  A lot of interest, but as is often the way with online sales, zero respect and no follow through with pick up  - until last night!  I pocketed a cool $15.00 for this beauty!   It was money that went directly to my dog grooming sinking fund.  $10.00 in sales and Daisy's next grooming appointment is funded.

Step back and take a look.  What do you have to sell?  I bet more than you realize!

Until next time,

A Charmed Gift

I'm a little late to the party when it comes to Charmed Aroma.  That all changed today.  My mother-in-law brought me a Charmed Aroma bath bomb and I couldn't wait to relax and unearth my gift.

My love of pumpkin has now wiggled its way in to my Christmas celebrations!  SWEET!!

I never expected to get anything near as pretty as I discovered inside my bath bomb!

I love it! 

I don't know when I will ever have the opportunity to wear it, but I love that I received such a pretty bauble.  

Not only was the bath a wonderful way to spend a few minutes on a cold and blustery winter day, but to be gifted with such a pretty gift - priceless.  

Taking time to soak in the little moments that make a day special. 

Until next time,

It's Been A While

Life has that funny way of getting away and catching up to you all in one fell swoop.

It's been ages since I've been here and I thought, the new year is coming and my life has changed so much, I thought what better time to rekindle an old love.

I have created many blogs over the past few years, so more specifically focused, but none of them clicked like this one did.  This particular blog was more about all things me.... no specific focus, just the dumping of head thoughts.  I loved it. I miss is and I'm back.

Do I have any followers?  Does anyone really care about what I have to say?  I'm no longer sure, but I'm here, baby!!!!  WOOHOO for me!  WOOHOO for you! :)

Stay tuned for all things Tammy, more posts coming soon!

Until next time,

~T xoxo
