The Joyful Frugalista - Building abundance with joy one dollar at a time at a time

Days 47 to 51 – #joyfulgiving366 – road trip

A big week of travelling to see family and friends, starting to record for a new podcast, oh, and still practicing #joyfulgiving.

Could our economy be responding to us realising more ‘stuff’ isn’t the answer?

A rainy weekend spent shopping, fixing things, cooking and nesting.

What brings you joy? Do you engage in retail therapy when stressed? Today I did.

Staying true to #FrugalFebruary despite temptation, crying over something I broke, and sharing sourdough love.

Wearing a free outfit on TV to talk about #FrugalFebruary, accompanied by a good friend who acted as my stylist.

Last day of school holidays, and giving some things away to my inlaws.

Shopping at Costco and watching The Minimalist’s documentary on Netflix – and finishing a jumper – in sweltering heat.
