About Us
Hello from Isabella — Your New Spending Sidekick
Hi, I’m glad you’re here!
I started Simple Spender with one mission: to help people spend smarter without feeling like they’re giving up the things they love.
I’ve always been someone who loves beautiful things—cozy spaces, clever finds, thoughtful gifts—but not at the cost of my peace of mind (or my bank account). The moment that really sparked this journey? A rug. Yes, a rug.
Stylish, soft, totally Pinterest-worthy—and way out of my budget. So, I found a near-identical one for half the price. Same vibe, zero guilt. And I thought… why isn’t it easier for people to find things that are both lovely and reasonably priced?
That’s how Simple Spender was born.
How I See Spending — And How You Can Too
Here, we believe spending should feel good—not stressful. I’m not here to talk you out of buying things. I’m here to help you buy better.
So much of what we’re told about saving money feels restrictive. But I think smart spending is actually freeing. It’s about choosing what truly matters, letting go of the noise, and feeling proud of where your money goes.
If you’ve ever stood in an aisle, phone in hand, wondering if something’s worth it—that’s where Simple Spender comes in.
Here’s what you can expect from me and the crew:
- Home ideas that feel fresh, affordable, and totally doable
- Shopping insights that cut through marketing fluff
- Real reviews on products we’d recommend to our own friends
- Thoughtful picks that stand the test of time—not just trends
No hype. No guilt. Just good sense and good finds.
Your Spending Conscience, Right Here
Think of me as your spending conscience—the voice that quietly asks, "Do you really need that?" when you’re tempted by an impulse buy, and happily says, "Yep, this one’s worth it!" when you’ve found something truly valuable.
Through everything I share, my goal is to:
- Guide you to transform your home without transforming your debt
- Help you see through marketing hype to find genuine quality
- Save you time and money with deals that actually make your life better
What I Live By When I Spend
I’ll be honest: I love a great deal. But I love a smart deal even more.
To me, the best purchases solve a problem, spark a little joy, and actually last. That’s why I always ask myself (and my team) before we recommend anything:
- Would I buy this again?
- Is it genuinely worth the price?
- Will it make someone’s day-to-day better?
- Is there a simpler, smarter alternative?
We don’t chase trends here. We chase value. And I promise, when you find something that’s both beautiful and budget-wise—it feels like a win. Because it is.
Your Simple Spender Squad
I’m Isabella—former design student, value hunter, and proud candle enthusiast—who started Simple Spender to help folks live well without overspending.
But I’m not doing this alone. Behind the scenes is a team of writers, researchers, and everyday spenders who’ve learned (sometimes the hard way) how to spend smarter, not harder.
We all share one frustration: the wasteful “throwaway” culture and the pressure to constantly upgrade just for the sake of it. So, together, we’re building a community that values quality, thoughtfulness, and smart choices.
Let’s Make Spending Simple — Together!
I’m not here to tell you how to budget or say no to the things you love. I want to help you say yes more often—to the things that truly matter, without the regret.
If you’re ready to:
- Upgrade your space without overspending.
- Shop with clarity, not confusion.
- Find joy in everyday deals and intentional buys.
Then welcome—you’re officially a Simple Spender!
Subscribe, follow along, or just drop by whenever you need a little inspiration—I’m saving you a seat.
