Hey there! Thanks so much for dropping by. 🙂
We are two goofy sisters who love life. (R-L, Pearl and Anna) Part of a ministry family of nine with little to no spending money, we have become somewhat professional at penny-pinching and dollar-stretching.
We’ve gotten good at having fun without a lot.
(like, what is a latte even?)
We aren’t your classic polished, perfect, lifestyle bloggers. We’re just normal under-sized under-aged adults (aka teenagers) with acne, messy hair, and weird/awkward mannerisms. We are just like you! (no offense 😛 )
And we know that as American teens, it can be hard to live with just a little.
(Especially staying alive and having fun in a state with record-breaking 128 degree weather??!! 😮 )
But it IS possible! We want to inspire you that yes, you can have much fun with close to no money.
—
Lifestyle posts, vlogs, DIY how-tos, frugal fun tips, budget style, and more– welcome to our “life without a latte”!
feel free to steal our button 😉
some of our favorite things
~Anna~
starry skies
deep conversations
milk chocolate
whimsical stories
smiles
french fries
~Pearl~
sweatshirts with super long sleeves
milk chocolate
art
sunsets
thick adventure books
chubby puppies
We can’t wait to get to know y’all so drop a note in the comments and we’ll chat about things!

Aww, thanks! 🙂 Haha, yes. The computer often tries to ‘correct’ my name, which is hilarious, especially the ‘great’ part. 😛
So excited for you too!!
I bet it has its challenges…I’m just trying to think of working with another person…I don’t have any sisters, so I would love to do that, but also could only imagine how annoying it might be sometimes. 😛
So glad that you are enjoying my mess! It’s mixed up and crazy, but then, so is life. 🙂
So excited for it all!!
