Why does seeing the world have to be so expensive? It doesn’t! Earlier this year I made a point to work smarter, not harder and finally start traveling again. And that’s exactly what I did. From Belize to Jamaica and up next, Kenya, I stuck to my promise. Do I have a ton of money? Absolutely not! But I use a few methods to save up for traveling so when I return home, I’m not broke.

Thrift store inventory is always unpredictable, but you can usually bank on finding a few key items when it comes to fashion and home decor. These are the classics that most thrift shops have in stock. And instead of just using them as is, it’s easy to create a little DIY magic. These don’t require a ton of steps or tools and will give you a unique piece that’s affordable. Oh, and Monday, August 17 is National Thrift Shop Day, so many stores will have amazing deals!

A few weeks ago I traveled to Belize and had an amazing time. I didn’t really have any plans to visit the Central American country until a wallet friendly flight came across my Twitter timeline.

I’ve found a few jumpsuits I love but when I say a few, I really mean just a few. My problem is they’re too long for my 5’2″ frame, the waist is baggy but too fitted on my booty or numerous buttons make it a pain to get in and out of. Well, I finally found the perfect jumpsuit. Let me back up. I didn’t actually buy a jumpsuit, I created one. And you can too with items you already have in your closet.
