When butterfly clips became a thing in the early 2000's, I would put 6 of them in my hair, twisting them into perfection and then rolling glitter all of my face to finish off the look before the … [Read more...] about FIRE Bloggers Don’t Know What They Want to Be When They Grow Up Either

However, I've noticed that there is one group of Millennials that are buying cryptocurrency and another group that has no idea what it is.

Cryptocurrency has been the talk of the town lately and I'm so out of the loop.
