I’ve been trying to have stress-free time lately, so I purchased all the gifts last weekend and wrapped them up! I also spent less on gifts this year than last year, probably around $600 total. I attribute this to making a list before [...]

When I tore a hole in one of my pairs (leaving me with only one pair), I decided I needed to go shopping. I bought two new bras from Victoria's...
