We are 2 sisters in our mid-late twenties who discovered the concept of frugality several years ago when we quit our full-time jobs in Hawaii where good employment is scarce, and moved to California in search of a way of life that would allow us to work for ourselves and hopefully pursue our interests in the arts instead of dishonest employers whose practices went against our personal and business ethics. Having spent all of our savings on our move, we found ourselves constantly trying to find imaginative and unconventional solutions in establishing our new home and way of life. Over the past few years, we have learned and figured out a great deal about making economies, and we it is our intention to share our ideas and solutions here in this blog.
Although we are not experts in these matters, we will also share a few things we have learned in regards to personal finance, home improvement and decoration, holistic pet care, and even a few favorite recipes for inexpensive and time-efficient meals.
And while work and frugality are important, so are wholesome entertainment and activities. We are avid readers with a particular interest in good children’s and young adult literature, and will therefore also share reviews and recommendations of favorite books for both children and adults. We will do the same for films, music and activities that we have found especially entertaining, educational, enlightening, worthy and contributive to a well-rounded life. These recommendations can be found under the “Hobbies” category.
