Back in September 2019, my family started a journey with a medical condition we had no idea even existed – the Aneurysmal Bone Cyst, or ABC for short. With my son’s consent, I wanted to share his experience with the hope that it would bring increased awareness of this rare tumour and offer some comfort [...] The post My Son’s Experience with an Aneurysmal Bone Cyst appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more

Well y’all. Things have certainly changed in the past six days. B.C. (Before Covid-19) In February after my sister left, I was officially accepted into a program to get my Alternative Teaching Certificate in Texas and have been focused on completing the requirements so that I can begin teaching for the 2020-2021 school year.

It’s a well-established fact that I am fond of colourful style and included in that are colourful prints, classic prints, and prints of all kinds.

Before I end the 21 day fast completely, I wanted to capture my impressions lest they get swept away in a tsunami of hashtags and share the lessons learned from [...] The post Lessons Learned from a Social Media Break appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more

I have sat down to write this post about a hundred times since April 20th. Each time, I’ve stopped because if I write it, then it will be real and I don’t feel ready for it to be real. Maybe that feeling never goes away. My father passed away unexpectedly on April 20th. I went [...] The post My Cup of Grief appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more

Today on Instagram Stories, I shared a little idea I had…this morning! I have been wondering what to do now that Pinspired March is over for another year. I love love love the interaction and entertainment that happens throughout March and though I can’t recreate pinned outfits every day, I DO get dressed every day… [...] The post Project 365 (Thrifted OOTD Style) appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more

Pinspired March is always a good time but this year it was EXTRA fun for a few reasons! I shared how I go about doing Pinspired March which, without sounding too sappy, only deepens the interaction and connection between me and those who read/follow The Spirited Thrifter. I posted outtakes from every collage on Instagram [...] The post Pinspired March 2019 Recap appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more

I recently discovered ANOTHER amazing thrift shop in Houston thanks to the suggestion of my BSF friend: The Opportunity Shop at Second Mile. Second Mile is a non-profit organization that serves to help “Fort Bend County residents in poverty and crisis by providing basic needs and opportunities to take next steps in their lives.” Second [...] The post The Opportunity Shop at Second Mile appeared first on The Spirited Thrifter ..read more
