I've been going CRAZEE ever since March wanting to tell you what I've been cookin' up and now I finally CAN! So of course I'm all nervous and excited and happy and twitchy but that's to be expected, right? So okay. I started a new site. But not just any site! A site that was needed to fill a void on the old interweb.
Here is it in a nutshell:
Live Well Spend Well originated out of selfishness. I would read review blog after review blog with the hopes of finding some great products at reasonable prices, but everything was too spendy. If there did happen to be drugstore options they were few and far between. I also wanted to know how I could eat better and cook at home without having to be a gourmet chef with three hours to spend in the kitchen every night. Ideally, I wanted one stop shopping where I could find everything in a single location. This led to our Master Plan, where our goal is to have 90% of everything reviewed priced at $15 or less, and a Splurge Worthy section priced $50 and under. I know with the economy the way it is people are cutting back on expenses, and yet we all want to feel good about ourselves inside and out. Our hope is that this new site gives those on a budget a place to go to learn about fabulous beauty products and healthy living without feeling they need to spend and arm and a leg to get there.
Right? RIGHT? And I have partnered with some of my favorite people, Katie from pseudostoops and Kori from Two Adults One Brown Baby. I am embracing the role of resident skin and hair care expert, Katie will be all about the healthy eating and fitness tips, and Kori is playing with make-up and helping us all look good. I also need to sing Jen's praises, as she donated her fantastic blog design services for this endeavor. Check her out if you ever want a make-over. She's great to work with and comes up with fabu stuff, as you will see.
We will also have periodic giveaways from awesome sponsors so it seriously can't get any better. In fact, we have some fun stuff going on right now to kick off our first week in town. I'd love for you to bip on over, take a look around and let us know what you think. We're on twitter too so please, come and join the party. As we like to say, feeling fabulous inside and out shouldn't have to cost a fortune! (And I TOLD you I wasn't pregnant!)
Awesome!! So. freaking. awesome.
Congrats!
