Review and Giveaway: Footzyrolls Foldable Flats
Ballet flats are all the rage right now, as is any shoe that will give your achy feet a break and also look stylish. Footzyrolls is a company formed by two sisters that were tired of having no cute options for when their heels made their feet hurt like nothing else. When you just can’t walk any further, you definitely don’t want to rip your shoes off and go barefoot. Well, you do, but not really outside. You don’t know what kinds of germs lurk out there. So, the sisters put their heads toge...

Shakespeare with Sno-Cones 7.25.12
Shereen Travels Cheap goes to Shakespeare in the Park
I love theatrical performances, but those costs can really eat into your budget, whether you’re on vacation or not. Over the weekend we took time out to grab a blanket and some beverages and take the dog to the park to catch some Shakespeare. She loves to run around before and during intermission and then while the performance is going on, she watches the action or the people in the audience. I love Shakespeare in the Park, because it...

Low-Budget Honeymooning 7.21.12
Usually, I lump honeymooning in with regular travel posts because, after all, they are just travel. Almost 6 years ago I got married and tried out a brand new trend that worked spectacularly for us. Now this trend is becoming the new norm as more and more couples live together first or merge two households to form one when they become husband and wife (or wife and wife or husband and husband). Most people find they don’t need or want new dishes or blenders or towel sets, so they are stumpe...

I know some of us are wondering what the heck happened to summer, since July is halfway over and June seems like a distant memory. Here in Oregon it took summer a little longer to get here and we had a few days of warm weather mixed with weeks of cool, rainy days. Finally, we are languishing in the 80s and we realize that we’ll be putting away our shorts and tank tops soon eno...

Guest Post: How to Enjoy A Budget Holiday In Greece
Greece and the Greek Islands have always been one of the most
popular holiday destinations throughout Europe. While the current state of the
economy is obviously a shame for the people of the country, what it does mean
is that lucky tourists are able to get some absolutely amazing deals to take
advantage of during their trip.
