Yesterday a bunch of crusaders and I ran the Spartan Race! It was the first time for most of us and I don’t know about ya’ll but I had so much fun! To make a short recap, we had to climb over several walls, monkey-bars, carry heavy sandbags/buckets, and even go through muddy water to reach the finish line. But it was all worth it and was such a great team-bonding experience to be a part of. It was great seeing everyone work together and cheering each other on. I’m SO proud of our team! 🙌🏻

This month, I went on tour with a band for the first time in my life! We played Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York all in our first week. Then we headed for the Midwest, stopping in Ohio, Missouri, Iowa, and finally Illinois. As much as I loved being a road dog, the biggest life changing experience was crawling into my bed after 3 weeks of being away <3

Happy November 1, 2018!

The holiday season is upon us and I don't know if it's just me but this is the time of year where I'm about to spend like there's no 2019...

All the super sales, gift shopping for family & friends, planning my next travels, brunch, you get the point, right? 

I looked up "tips to budget and save during the holiday season"

And here's what I found:

1. Record your expenses: How much do you spend?? Record everyyything
2. Make a budget and compare yours to people like you or that you'd like to spend/save like
3. Create a savings category: Try to save 10-15 percent of your income
4. Choose something to save for: This is my favorite tip!
5. Ask yourself, Am I saving long term ? Short term? or both? and then plan accordingly!
6. The trick here is to actually do this... I'll let you guys know how it works out (;
