Not to sound like a broken record, but I pay approximately 50% in income tax and another 25% VAT on everything I buy. Yes, even groceries! This definitely sucks, so I’ve come up with a game I call “how low can I go?” It’s not even a game really, it’s just a personal challenge to… Continue Reading
Thrifted Sofa
I think I used up all of my good sofa karma when I found the vintage velvet sofa back in April. It’s totally my dream sofa, but I also wanted something a bit bigger and more cozy. I’ve been diligently stalking the thrift shops since early May to no avail. I contemplated buying something new,… Continue Reading
Blå Sko
I cannot overemphasize the importance of practical shoes in my life right now. For more years than I’m going to count, my daily footwear has been along the lines of these Kate Spade leopard print pumps.

Today, sweaters were 50% off at Goodwill, so I stocked up for my new life abroad! New, $16.50… Continue Reading

I bought these things at the end of last summer and had completely forgotten about them, but we’re expecting record high temperatures today and tomorrow, so naturally, I’m excited to change over to my… Continue Reading
Danish Thrift Shopping
So far, I’ve discovered 4 thrift shops in the town where I’m planning to live. The main difference I see between the US and Danish shops is that the majority of US inventory is clothes, and here, it’s mostly furniture and housewares. I’m going to have a lot of fun furnishing my flat from the… Continue Reading
