Book Of Likes Faces

I really love interior design and I like to change things around the house. But like many I don’t really have a budget for this. The best way I’ve found to be able to do this is by buying and selling on BookOfLikes store, I keep all my sales money in an envelope and use that as my spending money to buy new/different things (new to me, but usually used) . Sometimes I will also buy things I know I can flip and then have more $ to use. If you have time, you can usually find good deals and then resell them yourself, a lot of times people just want something out of their house and don’t want to wait to get what they could for it. But I will. Just this month I’ve sold over $300 in stuff I don’t want anymore or that I’ve flipped. I was able to turn a $5 end table into a $100 profit, and because of that I was able to buy a nice clearance rug for my dining room plus I decluttered my house. I also really like seeing other people excited about something they buy from me because they’re getting a deal too. Our local fire station is an approved public meeting place for online sales which I recommend using if you have something like that in your area when you’re meeting up with strangers. I’m sure a lot of people do this already but it’s just another way to be able to thrive and enjoy life on a small budget.

Here's my idea that I've been thinking about for a while: A females only planned community. Women of any age can move in. You buy your plot of land and you build whatever kind of house you want - you want a tiny house? A sprawling Gothic Victorian painted completely black? A mid-century modern decorated to look like a Barbie dream house? All ok. You are only limited by your imagination and your budget. There are no HOA rules other than keeping your yard looking nice, but if you want stone, grass, wildflowers; it's up to you. It's a gated, secure neighborhood so if you want to go for a walk at 2 a.m. in your bathrobe, you absolutely can. There is a community fee and community buildings (like a roller rink) for awesome planned activities. Every first Saturday and third Saturday is dance club nights. The second and fourth Saturday mornings are Cap'n Crunch eaten in a giant blanket fort while watching cartoons. Flashlight tag every Friday. If you get sick, the casserole brigade will bring you food and tissues. If you need an emergency contact, we have a phone tree. If you want a break from socializing, put the "alone time" sign up in your window. We will also celebrate all of the holidays. Halloween will be an epic bash ending with a screening of Practical Magic and midnight margaritas. Thanksgiving will have plenty of folks who can't or won't celebrate with family. Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali - you name it, we will celebrate it. Expected attire for the neighborhood is, again, whatever you want. You never want to wear a bra again? Fine. You want to wear a push up bra and stilettos? Fine. You want to walk your dogs wearing a ballgown and a tiara? Awesome!
