I've said this before and I'll probably say it again but I am NOT a creative person.It's not that I don't try though - it just seems like the harder I try to make something pretty, the worse the end result is. It's like I got missed out when they were giving out the creative genes (I also missed out on the cooking genes and the green finger genes but hey ho) and things more often than not turn out looking very different to how I pictured it in my head before I started.But before I show you this week's crafting fail, I would like to point out that Miss Frugal and I often do a little … [Read more...]
Five Fabulously Frugal Things I’ve done this week {24th June 2016}….
1) This is one of those thing that isn't frugal but is at the same time but basically Miss Frugal has been getting a monthly subscription box called Birchbox for about four months now and she LOVES it! We pay half each for it and it's quite good value for money in my opinion although I'm not usually a huge fan of these types of boxes generally. That's the non-frugal part....The frugal part is that I encourage her to review everything she receives in her monthly box as she gets points which translates into money that she can spend in the online shop. The points add up quite quickly … [Read more...]

Create your own personalised family travel map….
Miss Frugal has definitely caught the travel bug after our little break away to Cyprus recently! She seems to have developed a real love of travelling and visiting new places, something I want to encourage in both of my children because it's so important for them to learn about the world around us.She's started her own little travel journal to record the places that we've already been and she's been asking me for one of those personalised family travel map you can get where you scratch off the places you've been (like these). Rather than buy one of those for her, I bought a small … [Read more...]
26 super simple ideas to help you spend less money!
In my head there's a difference between saving money and spending less even though I know they both really equate to the same thing.Saving money is easy, it really is! I've written a post about my top 50 ways to save money and if you have a look then you'll see that lots of them don't even involve you cutting back or doing without in any way. A quick phone call here and a change of suppliers there and you're saving money without any sacrifice on your part which is the best way if you ask me.Spending less is a bit different to me because it often means me seeing something I want ( … [Read more...]
Amazing two ingredient homemade makeup brush cleaner….
According to Miss Frugal, it's a miracle that I've got to the age I have without realising the importance of makeup brushes. Who knew that the little applicators that you get with eyeshadow palettes are practically useless? Or that if you really want seamless foundation then you need to use a weird shaped sponge AND a foundation brush?If you're still as yet blissfully unaware of the need for a whole collection of makeup brushes then feel free to just skip this post. Or you could always buy yourself a set of nice makeup brushes (this is Miss Frugal's favourite brand) so you can try them … [Read more...]
