This is something my mom has always done, so it’s how I’ve always eaten them. She’s always fold me not to eat them without letting them soak and I just never knew why. Turns out it helps soften the fiber and makes them much easier to digest. One of those things you grow up doing and finall

These are foods I try to eat regularly to support digestion and keep everything chugging along smoothly.    Yogurt — I like having this in the morning for the probiotics and protein combo and it’s one of the easiest things to stay consistent with.   Spinach — I eat this a few different ways…

Gas is on the rise but some small adjustments can help ease the sting. Stack rewards. Drive efficiently. Cut extra trips. Maintain the car. Simple shifts. Less waste. #GasPrices #SmartMoney #BudgetHabits #FrugalLiving #lillyb116

All of these sweaters came from the Goodwill Bins — and they’re in perfect condition 🙌🏽 My favorite has to be the J. Jill cardigan 🤍 the floral trim is so pretty and it feels so soft. Which one would you pick? 👀 #goodwillbins #thriftedfinds #sweater #lemon8challenge #lillyb116

I thrift a lot of sweaters, but these felt a little different. The turtleneck with the sleeves attached is something I don’t usually see. I wasn’t specifically looking for it, but it stood out right away. The poncho is 100% wool, and I almost always grab natural fibers when they’re in good sh

I’ve been crocheting and doing macramé for years. I never thought of them as “mental health tools.” They were just things I loved. But looking back? They’ve been regulating my nervous system this whole time. As someone with ADHD, my brain can feel loud. Crochet and macramé give me somethi

Reese’s = a full household obsession. Sour Patch Kids = my forever favorite. And let’s talk about conversation hearts… but I only want them when they’re chewable. The stale, rock-hard ones? Absolutely not. What’s your must-have Valentine’s candy? 🍫🍬 #lillyb116 #ValentinesFaves #c

A lot of people start a side hustle for extra breathing room — groceries, bills, savings, a little cushion. What no one really warns you about is that if you’re not prepared, tax time can turn that “extra money” into a stressful surprise. If you make money on the side, the IRS still expects it t

If you’re waiting until you can “do more,” start smaller. I opened a custodial brokerage on a tight budget. Deposits were tiny. It still grew. Overtime I’ve increased the monthly deposit and set it up as an auto transfer. Kids have time on their side so if a change in circumstances prev

I always gravitate to greys and neutrals but the last one appealed to the Game of Thrones fan in me 😂 #sweater #lemon8challenge #lillyb116 #basics #cardigan

A few sweaters I’ve thrifted lately. The bell-sleeve one is my favorite, even if it’s not something I’d usually wear myself. #sweater #lemon8challenge #thriftfinds #fashion #lillyb116

Aldi really said “skip the flowers, bring the cheese.” Heart-shaped Valentine’s cheeses for under $4? I’m listening. 🧀❤️ #valentinesdayfood #lemon8challenge #AldiFinds #CheeseLovers #lillyb116

Being broke and being financially irresponsible aren’t the same thing but they do get mixed up way too often. Some people truly don’t have enough coming in. That’s real, and it’s structural, not personal failure. Others are leaking money without realizing it — subscriptions, habits, decisions
