Comfortable Travel Style with LOFT

This post is sponsored by LOFT. #loftlocalstyle #loveloft  Holiday travel can be pretty hectic. I’m always in awe of the people’s travel style. The people who show up at the train and airports immaculately dressed in their six-inch heels always get kudos from me.  Don’t get me wrong, I love a cute pair of shoes and nice little fit, but when traveling I don’t want my fashion to get in the way of me being comfortable.

What to Do When You Feel Like Stopping Your Debt Snowball

Can Earnest Really Save You from Student Loan Despair?

Last week I shared with you all the Ugly Truth about Student Loan Forgiveness programs and basically ended by just telling you to pay your student loans. I hated ended the post that way since I’m more of an optimist and like to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Since I was doing tons of research on student loan repayment programs Facebook felt the need to populate the ads in my feed with various bank-based student loan repayment programs. As usual I ignored the onslaught of privacy invading ads until one in particular from a company called…
