(Self) Love Don't Cost a Thing 💗
Hey Single Roses! 🌹
Like many millennials, I love early 2000s music!
As I was listening to J Lo's 2001 hit, Love Don't Cost a Thing, I thought to myself that with a slight shift in perspective, this song would actually make a good self love lesson, in a world where self love has become entangled with consumerism through our
fixation on external validation and material possessions.
In this episode, I talk about self love and her homegirls-self awareness, self acceptance, self esteem, self discipline, and self respect, to express why the most valuable treasures in life are the ones we cultivate within ourselves....for free.
Treat YOURSELF right and give YOURSELF all the things you need that money can't buy...or Whatever Jennifer Lopez was saying lol

Skip the spouse. Buy a house!
Hey Single Roses! Have you ever thought about buying a home for yourself but feel like it's not within reach? This episode is for you! I had a conversation with Aerial Austin, a successful local NC real estate agent. Aerial and I talked about the benefits of purchasing a home as a single woman, even if you plan to partner later. We talk about what to look for in a good real estate agent, what red flags to look out for when purchasing your first home, what you’ll need to do to start the process and more!
I purchased my home in 2022 as a single woman with 1 income (less than 6 figures) and only $20,000 to invest! If I could do it, there's hope for you too! It is completely possible to find a home that fits your lifestyle and budget, even as a single woman. I will share my home buying story in a different episode if you all are interested.
Please follow Aerial on IG! Her IG is great for homebuying
education and inspiration. Following her on IG inspired me to take the leap into homeownership!
