The Reformed Shopper, and The Reinvention of a Blog

Five years ago when I started this blog I was obsessed with makeup and shopping.  I thought posting about what I purchased and giving my reviews justified spending the money.  Truth be told I purchased a whole lot more than I ever reviewed or blogged about.  
A lot has changed since then.  The downturn in the economy hit my husband and I hard, and my shopping habits quickly stopped. Needless to say, so did my blogging. We moved to a new state, and after a while of rebuilding finances, we started a family.   I hadn’t given this blog too much thought over the past few years, until last week.
The title of this blog is still true.  I still do love to shop!  But, I like to call myself a reformed shopper.  There is a huge difference in how I shop, and how much spend.  Being in a financially difficult situation taught me how to be smart about my purchases, to prioritize what I need, what I can live without, and how to look for deals and sales. 
A friend of mine went with me on my last shopping trip because she said I’m the one who always finds the best deals.  That’s when the idea of my blog came back into play.  I want to be able to share my tips and tricks to shopping and saving money on my purchases.   I know that doesn’t sound as fun and exciting as blogging about a shopping spree, and posting all the cute expensive things I buy, but what if my ideas help someone save money?   
So, there you have it.  Welcome to my reinvented blog! Hopefully the money saving shopping ideas I post will help at least one person out there!  Thanks for reading.
