4 out of 5 Americans (78%) are living paycheck to paycheck. Finances can be stressful on you, your family, and relationships but they don't have to be. Here are some steps to avoid running out of money before the end of the week/month and what we have learned on our debt free journey.

I have put this off for so long because who really wants to be on camera in the shower?! 😅⁣ ⁣ After 2.5 years of sending all my rockstar customers a video of someone else's washing tips, it was time to make my own! 🙈⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘰 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘤𝘦?⁣ Sulfates (in most shampoos) create a lot of suds with one wash making our hair 'feel' like clean. ⁣ ⁣ You won't find sulfates here! So what does that mean? When you get a good suds (usually on the second shampoo), you know your hair is clean. 🙌🏼

Self taught stainer. ⁣ ⁣ We bought 1x4s, measured, cut, sanded, and stained every board in our home for trim. ⁣ ⁣ It has been quite the process as we remodeled but I LOVE how it has turned out! I am also thankful we are on the homestretch and only have a few peices left!

Do you feel like you have to wash your hair every day or every other?⁣ ⁣ In the summer, I start to feel oily on day three. 🙌🏼 This is a HUGE success for me because I use to over produce oil and have to wash WAYYY more often. If you know what I'm talking about, it's no fun!⁣ ⁣ Naturally based shampoo and nonflammable dry shampoo has done wonders for my scalp and hair! ⁣ ⁣ Check out this tip on how I use dry shampoo BEFORE I feel oily and WHY.

Section off your hair, add a little dry texture spray, and have a small pony tail and bobbie pins near by.⁣ ⁣ Okay so now I have the three sections of the braid. When the strand closest to my face was going in the braid, I added hair. ⁣ ⁣ This was the first time I tried this exact braid and loved how it turned out compared to a normal french braid where you would add hair from each side. ⁣ ⁣ After securing with a pony tail, pull out the braid to make it bigger and pin it under your hair. After the video, I ended up adding a few bobby pins to the backside of the braid.
