Simplify Spring Cleaning
It’s finally time for some spring cleaning! I know it sounds crazy, but I honestly wait all year for this.

If this process seems a little daunting to you, though, here are a few ways to simplify your spring cleaning.
Wedding Accessories on a Budget at Goodwill®
Wedding season is just around the corner and most 2015 brides are already knee-deep in the planning process for their big day.

No, you don’t have to move to the woods and build a cabin. Let’s start with something easier: when in doubt, pick white! Painting a wall? Choosing a sweater?

Five-Minute Fixes
Life is messy! And no matter how much time you have, it never seems like it’s enough to clean everything up. Today I wanted to share a few champions of the five-minute fix. Whether you’ve got cosmetics covering your bathroom vanity, seriously scuffed up flats, or papers strewn across your kitchen counter, there is a solution out there that doesn’t have to take up all of your time.
Snuggle Up This Winter With Goodwill® Finds
The e-reader vs. real books debate rages on! Many people have made the switch to paperless readers like Kindles or Nooks because they take up less space and are easier to carry around. Then there are those die-hard book readers who still prefer the thrill of cracking open a new spine and inhaling the distinct smell of a good old-fashioned printed book. Either way, there is one thing that can’t be denied: snuggling up with a new read (whether digital or physical) is a sure way to cure the winter blues.
