Hello and Welcome to Lauren, Etc!

I’m Lauren! I have a passion for personal finance, safe personal care products, healthy recipes, and green living so I’ll be exploring these topics along with minimalism, fashion, fitness, and anything else that suits my fancy.  I’m excited to see how blogging allows me to cultivate happiness in my life and others.

My hobbies include:

• picking Cheerios off of every crevice in my home
• watching HGTV and yelling “f*ck these people”
• smudging/chipping my nail polish within 30 minutes of finishing it
• picking things up that are on sale, looking at the price, then putting them back down
• forgetting when I washed my hair last
• waiting until there is zero counter space left before doing the dishes
• replying “oh yeah, tell me more” while my children yell gibberish at me
• drinking more coffee than water on a daily basis
• only buying things that are ethically-sourced, sustainably-made, locally-grown, organic, free-range, gluten-free, dairy-free, lactose-free, preservative-free, fair wage supporting, and all that other hippie mumbo jumbo

I love meeting new people so feel free to contact me! Thanks for visiting Lauren, Etc!
