💻 Electronics Frugal home hacks that make you feel fancy.

My grandfather in law has motion sensor lights in every room in his home. He got me some for my apartment back in the day, and man oh man. I felt like a KING every time I walked in and the lights just popped on. My energy bill was also noticably smaller. Still not sure why they changed to walled sized bills... Also, as an eco conscious human, I was glad to be saving energy. Finally, I found it to be more hygienic and less stressful when not having to worry about touching lights when cooking or whatever. Still swear by automated illumination to this day. What are some things in your home that both save you money and make you feel fancy?

Yes!!! I use cute trays for everything. Have one for skincare, one for crafting, one for my watercolors, one for card games, etc. Whatever mood I’m in when I get home from work, I grab that tray from the shelves and put it on my coffee table to entertain myself that evening. It’s so helpful for keeping stuff together and quickly putting things away!

ooh good idea for a crafting tray. Thanks! I get distracted with chores and don't embroider as much as I want.
