About this ebook
Tired of clutter getting in the way, it had taken it’s toll. Working, to pay for too much stuff, not being able to travel, or do things for others, was not an ideal way to live. So began my journey to scale down with stuff and money. I have also learned to be more creative and productive with less space, and less stuff. Here are tips, tricks, and tools, that may help you happily live with less. Told with examples from my life, I hope this book can be relatable, practical, and helpful.

I consider myself both an artist, a writer, and all around creative person.Find me creating abstract acrylic or sharpie paintings, in my alone time.An eBook author, I currently have published two. They are available on Amazon Kindle and on Smashwords.The first book is titled "Less Stuff, More Life: Minimizing Your Way to a More Enjoyable Life." It chronicles my foray into minimalism, with plenty of tips and tricks I have picked up along the way.The second book is titled "Be Natural, Be Cheap, But Always Be Fly." This guide is organized into two parts. One section describes looking good using all (or mostly) natural methods; the next is all about the budget.For now, I live in Kentucky, near family and a few friends.
