We've got some hot goodies to share with you this week! From the best way to transform your home into a lush, tropical escape, the ultimate yummy tea blend and a fab little book that will help curb your bad spending habits - seriously!
How To Give Up Shopping We could all probably use a little help with saving these days - and this gem is a great way to get you in the right direction. Unlike some dry, boring financial books which preach to spend less and save more, How To Give Up Shopping (or at least cut down) by Neradine Tisaj is an honest book, written by a real life woman who was a shopaholic and managed to get her spending under control. This book is filled with helpful tips and advice that you will actually be able to use - from helping you to understand why you shop, controlling your urges and why you don't really need to do it in the first place.
Super cute and super helpful, I love this book – it has definitely helped me to curb my own nasty spending habit! RRP$22.99 available at all good book stores.
