Told myself that if I spent the morning filming and editing I could treat myself to an iced chai latte by the lake 🌊☕️

Such a gorgeous Sunday. I hope you all enjoyed your day too! PS: share your current fav coffee shop order with me! I’m always looking for new drinks to try 😍

Our honeymoon took us to a lot of pretty cool places - one of which was Berlin! 🇩🇪🍺

Thinking of booking a trip soon? Here are some of my tips for travelling on a budget! 💵

• Take a carry on, don’t check a suitcase! This saves money, time, and the risk of losing your luggage.

• Plan your days around free events and activities. Choose a couple paid things to do each day to keep costs down!

• Purchase snacks and breakfast foods at local grocery stores to cut down on eating out.

• Walk or take public transportation when you can. Taxis and Ubers really add up over time! 🚕

Right after I took this I picked a little red pepper off my plant and I was so happy! 🌶☺️ ⁣
⁣
It’s been a couple weeks since I uploaded a video on YouTube, but I’m happy to be back with a new upload today! ❤️ You guys seem to love my videos about turning hobbies into side hustles, so that’s what we’re talking about over on the channel today! Click the link in my bio to watch! xo

Last night my friends picked me up, took me to a beautiful hotel and surprised me with balloons, drinks, snacks, and dinner on the Halifax waterfront! 🥲💗 It was such a perfect way to celebrate my engagement and I’m so thankful to have such great people in my life! 💍 ⁣
⁣
Spoiler alert: the night ended with a gravy filled poutine so needless to say, it was a good time 😏

This is the face of a girl who is officially DEBT FREE!! 🎉😍 (New YouTube video is live on my channel if you want to hear the backstory! Link in bio) ⁣
⁣
A lot of you guys probably know that I’ve been documenting my debt free journey on my YouTube channel since last July. One day I woke up and said “I want to be able to choose where my money goes each month.” I didn’t want to feel like I owed anyone anything. ⁣🤷‍♀️
⁣
Since that day I made a promise to myself that I would work my hardest to pay off my student loan and car loan. ⁣
⁣
And after a year.. I’M DEBT FREE!! 🎉😭⁣
⁣
The plan is to buy a house one day and of course have a mortgage, but there will be no more car loans, student loans, or any other type of debt. Here’s to taking control of your finances! 🥂🥂

Hi friends! I was up early this morning in my office before work putting together some new little necklaces for my jewelry store ☺️💍 ⁣
⁣
I’m really excited about them and I wanted to share the finished products with you guys! Let me know which one if your favourite 💖⁣
⁣
The link to my Etsy shop is in my bio if you wanted to have a look! ✨ Ps: I always cover the shipping costs, because who wants to pay extra for shipping? 🤷‍♀️ ⁣
⁣
I hope you guys have the best weekend and spend time doing the things that make you happy! xo

Hope you are all having a happy, healthy week! Lots of love ❤️

Aaron and I had a little date on Sunday at the public gardens in Halifax ☺️🌸 ⁣
⁣
I love walking around the gardens so much. It kind of makes me feel like I’m in a story book (Alice in Wonderland specifically which has always been my favourite story/movie 🍄🐇🎩) ⁣
⁣
Really enjoyed the little things this weekend. Iced coffee, pretty flowers, sunshine and my fiancé! Life is good! 🥰

I have an actual crick in my neck from editing today’s YouTube video for 6 hours so shoutout to everyone who’s watched it so far 😂😘 ⁣
⁣
If you haven’t seen it yet, its about 10 ways to stop wasting money 💵 Click the link in my bio to watch! ⁣
⁣
My favourite tip from the video is to scrape out your product bottles/containers to get as much use out of your makeup and personal care products as possible ✔️ (I use a little brush to scoop out the extra product) ⁣
⁣
You better believe I’m getting every last drop of the moisturizer/foundation/concealer/shampoo I paid for 😂

Hope you all had the best weekend filled with lots of love and sunshine!

Today on my YouTube channel I shared the 7 income streams I’ve created in my 20s! ☺️ Thank you guys for all the love you’ve shown the video so far! ❤️ If you haven’t seen it yet, click the link in my bio. ⁣
⁣
Although I’ve been sharing content on YouTube for 4 years, it’s only now I feel like I’ve really found my little corner of the internet and what I love to share with you. ✨ ⁣
⁣
Hearing you tell me that my videos have helped you save more money, pay off your debt, or start a side business is the coolest part about sharing personal finance content on YouTube. ⁣
⁣
I can’t wait to keep cheering you on as you reach the money goals you set for yourself! 💵 Woo!

30/05/2021

I’m really excited to share today’s YouTube video with you guys! 💕 Aaron and I worked really hard on it and we’re happy with the way it turned out! Click the link in my bio to watch ☺️⁣
⁣
It’s all about the 10 ways that I save money every day! 💵⁣
⁣
What are some of your $$$ goals for this summer?! I would love to contribute a bit more to my investment accounts! 💪

23/05/2021

I always get lots of questions from you guys about selling your stuff on Facebook marketplace- so I decided to make a YouTube video about it! ☺️💙 click the link in my bio to watch if you haven’t seen it yet! ⁣
⁣
One of the best tips I have for you if you need a little extra money to get ahead in your saving or to pay off some debt is to sell some things you don’t use anymore! ✔️⁣
⁣
I bet you can thing of at least three things you own that you haven’t touched in 4-6 months. Instead of letting it sit there and clutter your space, turn it into cash by selling it to someone who will appreciate it! 💵⁣
⁣
I hope you find the video helpful! Lots of love 💙

It’s a beautiful sunny Monday here in Halifax and I’m wearing my Daisy necklace from my jewelry shop 💖☺️⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you’ve followed me/watched my YouTube videos for any length of time, it’s clear that I’m pretty passionate about all things side hustle and business related. I just find it so cool that we are living in a world where we can create our own jobs and income streams based around what we find fun! 🥳 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
If you have a business idea in the back of your mind or want to start a side hustle, do it! ⁣⁣
- you don’t have to be an expert ⁣⁣
- you don’t have to have it all figured out ⁣⁣
- you don’t have to be the best ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Learn as you go and get better every day! 💖 My DM’s are always open if you ever want to chat about side jobs or business ideas!

Just hit upload on the new YouTube video up on my channel now! ☺️ Click the link in my bio to watch! ⁣
⁣
In the video we are throwing it back to the good ol’ days while I was trying to live and put myself through university working part time, minimum wage 😅💵 ⁣
⁣
I never wanted to rely on student loans (the one $5,000 student loan I had was used to purchase my first car so that I could drive to my internship!) so that meant living extremely frugally so that I could make life work on a low income. 🤷‍♀️⁣
⁣
Let’s just say I became a pro at living on very little during this time, and I share some of the things I did to save in today’s video! Check it out if you have a few mins! ❤️

05/05/2021

Did you guys see my new YouTube video that went live on my channel earlier today?! Click the link in my bio to watch 💖😊⁣
⁣
The video is episode #9 in my debt free journey series! As you can see from this photo, nothing makes me happier than updating my little whiteboard where I keep track of my debt totals 😂💵 ⁣
⁣
This whiteboard goes on the fridge in my kitchen so that every day I can be reminded of where I am in my debt free journey and how much further I have to go! 💪 ⁣
⁣
Whatever goal it is you are currently working on, find a way to track in on paper or a whiteboard! It makes it so much more satisfying when you can see the progress happening in front of you 🎉

25/04/2021

Have you seen the new video on my YouTube channel?! ❤️ link in bio! It’s all about mine and Aaron’s savings plan to eventually buy a house! 🏠 ⁣
⁣
Living in an apartment is great, but I want a room to put a hot tub 😎⁣
⁣
In honour of the video I wanted to post this throwback of pic of us from February- just two Canadians in their natural habitat with Tim Hortons in hand 😂 ⁣
⁣
(You can tell by the snow in this pic why a hot tub is necessary ❄️)

Did you get to watch the new YouTube video that went up on my channel yet?! Link in bio ☺️ ⁣
⁣
It’s all about real, legitimate ways to get free stuff and save money! ❤️ I love putting together tips and advice to help make life a little easier for you all. When you’re in your 20’s, life can be hard financially. Student loans, rent/mortgage payments, getting married, starting families, wanting to travel while you’re young.. it’s not easy to balance the cost of all these things.⁣
⁣
Hopefully the content in my videos help make life and finances just a little less stressful for you. I want you to be able to do everything that you set your mind to and more! You got this! 💵❤️

Friendly reminder that you can do whatever you want to do in this life!
⁣
Want to eat a whole cake to yourself when it’s not even your birthday? Why not 🤷‍♀️ (okay you might feel a little sick lol)⁣
⁣
Want to change career paths after you’ve already graduated with a degree? If it will make you happier- go for it! 🙌⁣
⁣
Want to sell all of your stuff and travel the world in a van? Sounds like fun! 🚍⁣
⁣
You’re the only one that gets to decide what you do and how you do it when it comes to your life. Live differently, disrupt the status quo and try the unconventional. ⁣
⁣
Make your life an adventure ✨

There’s a new video up on my YouTube channel! Have you seen it yet?! ☺️💕 The link is in my bio! ⁣
⁣
I’m sharing 6 money saving challenges that you can try to help you save up for your next financial goal or big purchase! 💵 ⁣
⁣
What are you currently saving up for?! ⁣
⁣
I would love to be able to get a new camera some day soon! My camera is from 2014 and doesn’t connect to Wifi/Bluetooth so I’m not able to use wireless microphones or remotes to help me with my videos. 👎 ⁣
⁣
I’m going to try out some of the challenges in my video to help me save for a new camera! 📸

Have you watched episode 8 in my debt free journey series on YT yet? ☺️💸 Click the link in my bio to watch! ⁣
⁣
If you’re new around here, I started my debt free journey in July of 2020. Aaron (my fiancé) and I started paying off $18,300 in debt. This included my student loan, his student loan, and our car! ⁣
⁣
I got tired of making payments, seeing money leave my account, and feeling like my money wasn’t really my own 🙄 ⁣
⁣
I’m going to be honest, if it wasn’t for YouTube and you guys keeping up with my videos, I probably would have stopped putting extra money towards my debt and just made minimum payments. 🤷‍♀️ Paying off debt is not fun or exciting, and it often means limiting spending on other things. ⁣
⁣
Every month I think “I better put some money towards our debt so that I have something good to report on youtube!” Haha, so thank you for helping to keep me accountable! ☺️⁣
⁣
Our goal has always been to only have a mortgage, and otherwise be debt free. No car payments, no lines of credit, and no student loans. If you’re currently trying to pay off debt, you can do it! Let’s motivate each other! ❤️💪

12/04/2021

Anyone else needing large doses of caffeine and cozy drinks to get through this Monday? 😅☕️⁣
⁣
Feeling overwhelmed with various tasks today? Do not underestimate the power of a to do list! I always make one when I’m feeling stressed and it helps so much. Seeing individual items laid out in front of you gets it out of your head and feels less stressful. ⁣
⁣
Make sure to start with the smallest task first so that you can accomplish a quick win right off the bat. ✔️☺️ ⁣
⁣
As you cross things off your list, you should start to feel satisfied, accomplished, and less anxious. ⁣
⁣
Good luck tackling your to do list today! You got this!! ❤️

11/04/2021

There’s a NEW video up on my YouTube channel ❤️⁣ Click the link in my bio to watch!
⁣
It’s all about how I recently made $1300 by selling on Facebook marketplace! 😊💻⁣
⁣
If you’re new to my channel and my content, you might wonder.. ‘why did she choose to build a YouTube channel around side hustles, personal finance and saving money?’ 🤔 ⁣
⁣
The honest answer is that I want to help people travel the world, buy their dream house, volunteer abroad, go out to a fancy dinner with friends without having to worry about seeing a negative in their bank account. 💸 ⁣
⁣
Life is short. Too short to feel trapped in bad spending habits and debt payments. So, if you ever need a little inspiration when it comes to saving for your next big purchase, or paying off a debt, you know where to find me! ☺️❤️

08/04/2021

It may have taken me 5 hours to upload (technical difficulties are the worst) but my new video is finally up on my YouTube channel 😅⁣
⁣
It’s a thrift store haul! 💖⁣
I’ve been finding such great things over the last few weeks and I just had to share them with you all! ⁣
⁣
Spoiler alert: I found something worth over $250 for $10 😭 I was so excited!! ⁣
⁣
Click the link in my bio if you want to check out the video! Happy Thursday friends! xo

Golden hour ✨☀️💫 ⁣
⁣
Taking some time today to think about things I’m grateful for, so I thought I would share a little list: ⁣
⁣
1. My health. There are so many people that struggle with really tough illnesses. My heart goes out to them. ❤️⁣
2. The sunshine, warm air, and hearing the birds sing. Summer days are ahead! ☀️⁣
3. Left over Easter chocolate. 🍫⁣
4. New tv shows/movies being added to Netflix. It’s the little things. 📺⁣
5. A cozy home and a fulfilling job/business.
⁣
I know people say that you shouldn’t compare your life to others, and that just because others have it worse doesn’t mean you can’t be stressed or sad. While that’s true, I really do find it humbling when I think about how lucky I am to live the life I do. ❤️⁣
⁣
What’s something you are grateful for today? ☺️

06/04/2021

100% there is nothing better than coming home after working all day and sitting your butt down on the couch 🛋❤️ ⁣
⁣
You better believe right after this picture was taken- hair went up, sweat pants went on, and bra came off for ultimate relaxation 😂👌⁣
⁣
Hope you are all having a lovely relaxing evening!!

How are you feeling about heading into this week after the long weekend we just had? 💕⁣
⁣
I spent today doing some cleaning and running errands to prep for this week! I always need to do some sort of prep during the weekend for the week ahead in order to feel settled. 🤷‍♀️⁣
⁣
Now that we’re thinking about the upcoming week, what’s a goal you have for yourself? It can be as simple as making a healthy home cooked meal! 🥦🥕🍅 ⁣
⁣
My goal is to film, edit and upload two videos for YouTube this week! It’s been pretty challenging to stay consistent on youtube since starting my new full time job. But it’s something that’s important to me and something I’ve worked really hard to build, so I want to continue making my channel a priority! 💕⁣
⁣
Ps: if you read this whole caption, you’re the best hehe

04/04/2021

Hoppy Easter every bunny! 🐰🌸⁣
I’ve got a belly full of lindor chocolates and mini eggs and I couldn’t be happier! 🍫⁣
⁣
If you’re currently in a food coma like me and need something to watch to pass the time, check out my new YouTube video that I uploaded today! I put together a list of hobbies that you can start and also use to make money! Let’s work on reaching some of those financial goals together 👏💖 ⁣
⁣
Here’s a hint at some of the hobbies included in the video: 🍬🏕📱🧁⁣
⁣
ps: what’s your favourite kind of Easter chocolate?! I think mine is mini eggs 🥚

03/04/2021

One of our favourite ways for Aaron and I to treat ourselves on the weekend is by trying out local coffee shops! ☕️🌸⁣
⁣
I was so excited to try out the peeps latte from - and it did not disappoint 😍 ⁣(the other latte is carrot spice! Also fitting for Easter weekend! 🥕)
⁣
Hope everyone is having a wonderful Easter weekend! Wishing you lots of happiness and delicious treats! 🐰💖

21/03/2021

Now that it’s spring I can finally end my hibernation and crawl out of the cave I’ve been living in 😂☀️⁣
⁣
I’ve been pretty quiet on Instagram these past few months. I just find it so difficult to motivate myself during the winter. We only have so much energy to give, and after working all day, packaging and shipping Etsy orders, filming/editing YouTube videos, and doing basic household chores, I didn’t really have much left to pour into Instagram posts 😅📷⁣
⁣
But with the time change and the warmer weather, I’m already seeing a big change in my mood and motivation levels! So, I thought I would share a lil Sunday with you all! ❤️ ⁣
⁣
It’s so nice to not have to bundle up like a marshmallow anymore haha! 😍
