For the last few weeks Marcus has been obsessed with reading every book he can find on finances (particularly how you can have your money work for you, so that you have more time to do what you want in life, rather than work for someone else). He's even got me on board, after a trip to the library, I am currently reading "Rich Woman" and feel quite inspired to get into investing or starting my own business.

You see, we both come from families who owned their own businesses--we each talked to our dad's this week and neither them nor our grandfathers have worked for anyone other than themselves since they graduated college! Clearly, the entrepreneur spirit runs deep.

I've always hated having anyone have control over my time--and marcus has more recently came to that conclusion about himself--so we're on the quest to take back the control.

For me, it's not about being filthy rich and having everything i've ever wanted--it's about not having to think/stress about money--financial freedom, so that i can DO all the things I've always wanted to--life's too short to spend most of it doing something you're not crazy about, right?!

anyone have any great tips for us/books we should read? 

CLOSED: heart elbow patches and an arvowear giveaway!

The Winner is @lexhank! Congrats!

november and i have a special thing going on--

we like each other.

it's the month of perfect weather.

it's the month of much feasting and family. 

it's the month of pumpkin pie.
and it's the month i was born.

in honor of such a great month, i have a few giveaways scheduled throughout it--so keep your eye's peeled--but not really, because that sounds super disgusting.

kicking things off is a watch from arvowear--i've been sportin' the white faced time sawyer for a few months now. as soon as i discovered them through instagram, i immediately had to buy one. they are beautiful (and luckily for me, affordable!)

They're offering one black-faced time sawyer to one of you lovely readers! it would be cute on you or a perfect gift for that special someone (because they're unisex :))

all you need to do is:
1. follow @arvowear on instagram and tell me you did in the comments.

2. for an extra entry, you can follow me (@ashleyanielson) right here--leave a separate comment if you do this.

+you must be a public follower of this blog to qualify, US residents only

I'll pick a winner in about a week! good luck :) and happy november! 

++if you posted your costume on instagram or on your blog leave me a link--i love to see everyone's costumes!
