For a song.

There it is: the first printed comparison between an item and a tune. This catchy little idiom originally had to do with those who printed and sold ballads, but now it means getting something on the cheap. To demonstrate:

‘For a song’ is my favorite price point, though it’s hard to find (side note: my sister did get a free Mattress Discounters pillow a decade ago for singing their jingle in store. But they owed her, after that embarrassment, I think).

My hope is that, with this blog, I can expand and improve my deal finding skillz and share with you all some affordable options for fashion, décor, date night, and more.

Now that you’re here, let’s set some ground rules.

1. I will attempt to post 5 times a week, with posts going live by 5:30am. (If you think that means I’m writing them at 5am, you’re dumb).

2. I will post 100% original content at least once per week. Hopefully more. This means projects completely of my own design and execution, rather than posts consisting entirely of un-sourced pictures thrown together off of pinterest. Don't worry pinterest, you're still my girl.

3. I will respond to any comment, email, or smoke signal within 48 hours. I mean, let’s face it, as I write this my only readers are mom and dad, and they don’t like to be left hanging.

4. Dreaming big here: I will disclose any professional relationships, sponsored posts, or 3^rd party influence. I want you to feel that I’m authentic. Because I am. For real.

5. Friends, please don’t stop hanging out with me. All names will be excluded from my blog, and I’ll ask before I use any pictures. Your secrets are safe with me.

6. Everything will be awesome.

Great. Let’s get started, shall we?
