The blog is for readers who want to be stylish and tasteful but want to do it in a way that works for their budget while making them look like they spent ten times more.

Laura Burton: "At Goodwill, we take barriers and turn them around into positives."
Before coming to Goodwill,Laura Burton, Admissions Coordinator, was a nurse working with terminally ill patients.
"I did nursing for so long that I didn’t have other skills, so I volunteered at the South Beach Homeless Resource Center to get more," Laura explains.
"The director of the Center saw something in me, and hired me as a counselor. Then I became a case manager, and that started me on my path."
