This week, I'm answering a listener question from Meg about how to balance style with function, especially when it comes to storage. She wants a home that looks good but also works for real life. I walk through different strategies depending on where you are in the process: whether you're starting from scratch, filling in gaps, or trying to upgrade over time. I also share my thoughts on when it makes sense to go with something quick and affordable like IKEA, and when to hold out for something more lasting.We discuss using placeholders, being honest about your priorities (speed, price, or quality—you can only choose two), and how to avoid clutter by utilizing storage solutions that also add character. I show a few examples from my own home, including how I use vintage crates, tins, and even sugar bowls to keep things both tidy and personal.This is the last episode of the season. We'll be back on August 18th. Also, early bird pricing for the retreat ends August 1st, so if you're thinking about joining me this fall, now's the time. All the details can be found here.

Texas is an oddity in the western electricity world: fastest growing load, ultra-low prices, crazy development of renewables. Texas consumes now more power than France, despite having only half the population. Prices are a factor 4 lower compared to 20 years ago. And 90% of additional load has been provided by Wind and Solar, despite the permanent attacks from the fossil fuel lobby.To make sense of the current situation in Texas, and also talk about the future, with unbelievable projections, full of AI and Datacentres, we have the pleasure of welcoming Arusha Sharma Frank.Arushi Sharma Frank is an energy policy expert with deep expertise in distributed energy resources (DERs) and virtual power plants (VPPs). She pioneered ERCOT frameworks for grid-integrated VPPs and the integration of batteries on the Grid, while at Tesla where she worked between 2020 and 2024. Arushi was a key architect of the Texas Public Utility Commission's Aggregated DER pilot, enhancing grid resilience post-Winter Storm Uri.  The Lone Star State is at the crossroads: will the additional load arrive? Are the renewables in danger? Can fossil fuels make a come-back, or are we seeing this wrongly, as the new model suggest that it is all about flexibility.Finally, the best source for information on renewable energy in Texas is Doug Lewin: www.douglewin.com

Retail Therapy: Understanding the Urge to Splurge - Money Tip Tuesday

Have you ever wanted to buy something, not because you need or want it, but because it makes you feel good? It may come about when you feel like celebrating a special event or a promotion, so you decide to splurge a little bit on something special. Or if you had a bad day and you need a little emotional boost, so you finally allow yourself that thing you've always wanted but have resisted buying in the past. That's what emotional spending, also known as retail therapy, is. The harsh reality is that it occurs often for many people and can cause financial challenges if not kept in check. Links: For help finding a therapist visit Psychology Today to start a search Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter! Learn more about Triangle Credit Union  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.     Retail therapy is a way people cope with feelings, good or bad by purchasing items to either maintain a happy mood or to change a bad mood into a good one. The problem with relying on spending to improve your mood is that it can be too easy to overspend on things you weren't planning to buy in the first place. Unless you had a line item in your budget for impulse purchases, your retail therapy items weren't budgeted for at the beginning of the month. Depending on the items you're purchasing, this could send your budget into a tailspin and add to an already increasing level of stress, possibly even leading to debt.  Emotional spending is something we all experience from time to time. But what happens when it becomes a problem? When we find we now have a larger credit card bill than originally planned for? Or when we have less money to cover certain bills because we decided to treat ourselves to a new vehicle, expensive clothing or the latest technology? How do we solve that issue?  Well, the real fix to the spending damage depends on the type of spending you got yourself into, but there are ways to curb your emotional spending habit and keep yourself from making those unplanned purchases in the first place.  Here are some tips on how you can avoid falling into emotional spending. Our first tip is to try the 24-hour or 30-day rule. The idea behind this rule is to wait a certain amount of time before making a purchase. If there is something you have your eye on, don't impulse it. Make a conscious effort to wait a little time before buying it. For some items, 24 hours is enough; for others, 30 days may be necessary. This tactic will help you keep your emotions out of your purchasing decision and help you avoid buyer's remorse. If you find that after the waiting time is up, you still want the item, then by all means, purchase it.   Our second tip is to hide your credit cards. Don't hide them in a place where you'll lose them, but at least put them in a place where they may not be as accessible. Keeping them at a distance may decrease convenience and make it more difficult for you to emotionally spend. Third, give yourself a budget item for spontaneous purchases. Allowing yourself some extra money a month is a great way to enjoy the freedom to treat yourself. Set aside an amount of money for those times you want to go out and buy yourself something nice. It keeps your budget in shape and keeps you in control of your spending. And finally and most importantly, talk to someone about how you're feeling. If you find that you're repeatedly going shopping or buying items to cope with emotional or mental stresses, you may be struggling with something deeper. Find a trusted friend or family member and look for a therapist who can help you sort out your feelings and provide a good sounding board or fresh perspective on how you're feeling. A deep conversation is satisfactory for your mental health, and your wallet will thank you. It is important to note that retail therapy might make us feel better but it does not solve our problems and should only be used in moderation. Emotional spending is something most of us will face throughout our lifetimes, but it's essential to ensure that our emotions do not drive our purchasing decisions. It can be too easy to lose track of our expenses, and our budgets will quickly crumble.  If you want to be the master of your money, learn to recognize the signs of emotional spending and use any of our tips to overcome the temptation to spend spontaneously.

For years now Canada's been badgered to pony up, and spend more money on the military. Those calls have come from our actual military itself, our NATO allies, and more recently the U.S. President.Well it looks like Mark Carney is going to pull out the credit card, and commit to spending an extra $9.3-billion on the armed forces by March, bumping our military spending up to two per cent of Canada's entire GDP.Carney has also pledged to end this country's reliance on the U.S. for equipment by diverting billions of dollars in spending to Canadian manufacturers.The timing awkwardly coincided with news about an embarrassing foray into Canadian military procurement: our plans to buy a fleet of F-35 fighter jets from America that the auditor general reported was billions of dollars over budget and years behind schedule.So, what is Carney's vision for the future of our military?

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has unveiled her first major spending review, pledging tens of billions in additional funding for public services, including £29 billion a year for the NHS, a £4.5 billion boost to the schools budget, and a rise in defence spending to 2.6% of GDP by 2027. But Reeves stopped short of explaining how the government will actually fund these ambitious commitments, fuelling Tory warnings of looming tax hikes. Shadow chancellor Mel Stride accused her of having “completely lost control”, calling it a “spend now, tax later” plan that kicks tough choices down the road for Labour. So how will the Government balance the books? And what will the spending review mean for you? Camilla is outside Parliament with Reform's Richard Tice who says Reeves is ‘cratering the economy' and is obsessed with his party. Plus Tory Andrew Griffith on why his party are disowning Liz Truss's mini budget and Labour's Chris Curtis on productivity in the NHS.

Hello, fabulous fashion friends! Happy FRI-YAYYYYYY!! Welcome back to the Fashion Crimes Podcast, your weekly dose of style, inspiration, and all things fashion. Featuring your favorite personal stylist and the hostess with the mostest, Holly Katz, we are here to show you how to look chic without breaking the bank.   Wanna see us in the flesh? Check out our YouTube channel for the video of this episode!   This week, we're diving into a super fun topic – How to Mix High and Low End Pieces like a pro! We are about to give you all the secrets on how to elevate your wardrobe with a perfect blend of luxury AND affordable items.   Trust us, by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to rock designer accessories with budget-friendly staples. So grab your favorite earphones, turn up the volume, and let's gooooooo!   Outline of Key Topics Discussed:   1. Why Mixing High and Low Works o Create a balanced, effortlessly chic look that reflects your unique style. o Moderation is key. You don't need to wear all high-end or all low-end pieces. o The magic of blending designer pieces with more affordable finds to achieve that high-low vibe.   2. Identifying High-End vs. Low-End Pieces o High-end items: Designer accessories (bags, shoes, jewelry) and classic investment pieces. o Low-end items: Budget-friendly but stylish basics like tees, denim, and everyday items that don't need to break the bank.   3. High-End Accessories: The Key to Elevating Any Outfit o By spending your hard-earned dollars on high-end designer accessories, these are the staples that support and elevate any outfit. o Designer pieces should be used to create a polished, sophisticated look that will "level up" your lower-end pieces. o Example: Pair a $5 vintage baseball hat with a designer handbag and shoes for the ultimate high-low combo.   4. Low-End Staples: The Foundation of a Flexible Wardrobe o Find affordable yet stylish options like Levi's jeans, vintage tees, or a well-cut jacket that won't drain your wallet. o HOT TIP!  Mixing costume with your real jewelry makes all of your jewelry look more refined.  o Example: A vintage rock tee layered with a blazer, paired with designer shoes with an affordable statement earring: priceless!   5. Where to Shop for the Best High-Low Mix o Check out designer second-hand marketplaces like The RealReal or local consignment shops in your area for amazing finds. o Vintage stores and online sites like ThredUp can carry high-quality, less expensive options. o Shop strategically for sales or shop off-season to make sure you're investing in pieces that will last.   6. When to Splurge o Invest in timeless pieces that hold their value over time, like a designer handbag or quality jackets and scarves. o Always shop with fit and quality in mind—don't just buy for the label. o Think about longevity and versatility when selecting high-end pieces to mix into your wardrobe.   Final Words: Mixing high and low-end pieces is not only fun, but it's a savvy way to build a wardrobe that looks unexpected, sophisticated, and totally unique. Remember, fashion is about creating a look that feels true to YOU—whether it's from a luxury designer or a thrift store gem, mix it up and make it yours. And as always, we are here to help guide you through the process. You can give this a try, no matter your budget or current style.   Don't forget to check out our YouTube Channel for all the inspiration you need, and connect with us on Instagram for all the latest updates and style inspo you need.

Hey friend! Do you ever wonder which items you should splurge on (and which to save) when you're decorating or furnishing your home? This common question is something we're talking about in today's epsiode. What home decorating items should I splurge on and which should I save money on? Saving and splurging is all based off of personal finances, priorities, need, design style/personal preference, but how I base my decisions currently, in this season of life... The four items I would SPLURGE on: 1. Anchor pieces: These are the pieces that are too costly to replace every couple of years. They generally need to stand the test of time so having higher quality (= higher price point) can be beneficial. 2. Electrical: Unless I felt confident changing out my own overhead light fixtures or hiding cords, I would without a doubt splurge on this expense. Changing your overhead light fixtures is a relatively inexpensive way to add A LOT of character and personality to your home. 3. Hiring for built-ins: Built-ins, when done well, instantly elevate your home making it look more finished with character and charm. If building something is not within your wheelhouse, this is an expense worth splurging on! 4. Updating foundational pieces: I am not referring to the foundation of your building/home. But I am referring to the foundation of your cohesive design plan and there are two foundational items within your homes that SHOULD be paid attention to: your floors and your walls. If one of those is 'off' it will likely throw off you entire design. Because it's that important, choices you bring in should be filtered through the lense of "Does this work with my foundation - floors/walls." If the flooring is disjointed, saving and investing there will reap BIG design rewards (and re-sale too!). Need help knowing what to save or splurge on?

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson talks to three Golden State insiders who want to help you get the most out of your next trip to the state—no matter your budget. First, Johnson chats with Nina Ruggiero, Senior Editorial Director at Travel + Leisure. Ruggiero starts off by sharing the latest lodging travel trends and what she looks for in a great hotel. “Yes, you want a nice hotel, but you want to feel like you're actually in the destination that you're in,” she explains. Ruggiero then dives deep on her top picks for both high-end lodgings and wallet-conscious accommodations in West Hollywood, the Central Coast, Laguna Beach, and Palm Springs. Next, Johnson is joined by Farley Elliott, Southern California Bureau Chief at SFGate. Farley breaks down the best splurge-worthy dining spots in San Diego and offers up some wallet-friendly finds that still pack a punch. “If you're on a budget, I think most corner taco shops that you stop into [in San Diego] are going to treat you pretty right,” notes Elliott. He also delves into Michelin-starred cuisine and other high-end spots in Los Angeles, Orange County, and Santa Barbara. Finally, Johnson sits down with Carrie Cramer, an award-winning celebrity stylist and personal shopper. Cramer shares how to navigate California's shopping scene, from the high-end boutiques of Rodeo Drive and South Coast Plaza to local gems in Carmel-by-the-Sea and San Francisco.

  In this episode, we dive into simple splurging and why it's essential for moms. Whether it's high-quality sheets, creating time for yourself, or saying “no” guilt-free, we're talking about how to prioritize YOU amid the chaos of motherhood. Splurging isn't just about spending money—it's about giving yourself permission to slow down, enjoy life, and invest in things that make you feel special. From bamboo sheets that feel like a hug to simple self-care rituals, we'll explore the splurges that make life easier, more joyful, and downright luxurious. You deserve it! What We Talk About in This Episode: The true meaning of splurging (it's not always about money!). Why investing in quality—like Cozy Earth sheets—can change your life. Small daily habits that feel like a splurge, from slow mornings to decadent meals. How decluttering makes room for meaningful indulgences.
