Hi, I'm hollylu
I am in my 50s, married, have two teenagers and try to live as frugally as possible. I work at home with various pursuits (jewelry design and crafting; writing, housekeeping and cooking mainly) including creating my frugal website (frugal-living-now.com)
I am just getting started, so any advice or friend requests would be welcome!

Thanks for the welcome. About your financial challenge and buying no new clothes or jewelry - in addition to using what you have and buying used, etc., you can also SWAP for new items at Swap Mamas - discovered it a couple of months ago, and I love it!

Aloha and welcome from Hawaii!! You picked a great time to join - the beginning of a new year when everything is fresh and new!!
