People always wonder why I use coupons. I tell them its’ because I want to buy nicer things with the money I save! For instance, I always enjoy a splurge or two at Anthropologie. I don’t always shop there, because sometimes you can find the look for less.

But what if I owned a home? I couldn’t always go to Restoration Hardware (this store is the best) or Pottery Barn to furnish my home. Sometimes you need to get a little creative! I came across a fantastic website while reading my Real Simple magazine (October issue?).

It’s called Copy Cat Chic and I have loved everrrrrything that this person has posted. I spent a good while browsing the site for — well, not inspiration because I don’t own my own home yet. But just fascinated at the deals you can get, without breaking the bank.

Check out some of the posts:

That’s all I’m showing you. You’ll have to check out Copy Cat Chic for more awesome stuff!

You  have got to be kidding me. There’s no way this thing is for real, is it!? A freaking Haircut Umbrella! At least it’s cheap. This kid’s expression, or eyes disturb me. Or perhaps it’s the miserably failed photoshop attempt to remove the background. But whatever you do, don’t look in to his eyes. He may ask you to google something crazy like “jobs philadelphia“. I know. It doesn’t make sense.

Have a grrrrrreat friday afternoon!

Canadians + Igloos. Love it.

How adorable would this be, set up at a party? Especially during the first snowfall. I know I shouldn’t even dare talk about more snow as we’re walking into spring here. But I still think it’s a cute thing to have around! I love icecube holders. They never melt in there! My parents use theirs all the time when they entertain, maybe I should get them a NEW one.

Oh, and for those who want to make your own quick easy (so no discount prescription glasses are needed to make this!) supper tonight, I uploaded the recipe to make meatless pita pizzas. Scrumptious.

It’s Kelly’s birthday today! Go on over and wish her a happy 29th!
