My blog, www.frugalityvsbeauty.com, chronicles my life, struggles, and success in living frugally and beautifully. This year I have a goal to save enough money in order to drop to part time working hours and devote more time to my family. Yet, when I share this goal I have received rolled eyes, and scoffs, being told that I wont be able to do this unless I do something drastic like turn the heat off, sell my home, or win the lottery. People assume that what is frugal is not generally beautiful, however, I do not plan on sacrificing the quality of my life for this endeavor. Lets see if I can pull it off!
