Why I’m Living Abroad to Buy a Home in the U.S.

While I’ve always wanted to buy a house to make into a home, my partner has always looked at real estate as a financial investment, not an emotional one.

25 New Ways to Reuse Your Old Pill Bottles

There’s a special kind of satisfaction that comes from finding solutions to problems that use things you already have on hand. I’m still very proud of myself for MacGyver-ing a broken pop-up shade canopy with a hair tie and a plastic bag—it’s silly, but it made me feel like I might just have made it in the pioneer days. Taking things you already have and making them more useful isn’t just self-congratulatory, it’s also frugal and earth-friendly.
