Happy Holidays ladies (& gents),
my name is Savanna Christine (aka Savvy). I live in sunny
San Diego & am currently working at Anthropologie, as well
as, nannying lil munchkins. I am a follower of Christ, lover of
sunshine & the great outdoors, traveling & sight seeing, sipper
of coffee & tea, dark chocolate connoisseur, fashionista, &
business woman at heart.

savvy defined:
savvy is a verb meaning “to know or understand”. I love in
Ephesians 1 where Paul’s prayer is that we would have the eyes of
our heart flooded with light so we could know & understand what
is the immeasurable & unlimited & surpassing greatness of His
power in and for us who believe. I have always had a passion for
finding beauty and value in items by thinking of savvy ways to
repurpose them. This season my prayer is that people would know
& understand that they are beautiful, loved, valued, & the Lord
has a purpose for their lives!

- DIY buttons for earring holders - keeps the pairs
together ...traveling is better done in couples, think of Lewis &
Clark or Thelma & Louise, or in 3’s - the 3 wise men. :) Throw
them in a cute makeup bag or plastic baggy & voilà!

-DIY tictac bobby pin holder - keeps those lil guys all in one easy-to-
find spot in your purse, carry-on, gym bag, car, etc! My sister
(hairstylist) & I use multiple bobby pins daily & nothing is worse
than having hundreds but not being able to find one to pin back those
flyaways! Also - try revamping them by adding little gems, beads,
lace, or flowers with glue to make a glitzy holiday statement! Use
nail polish as an easy way to add a bit of color, as well.

accessorizing easier & clutter free as you stack bracelets to
visibly see every option you have!

- Toothbrush holder for Holiday decor - I thought of this idea a
while back & it’s a savvy way to display flowers or twigs on side
tables and counters! If you have one that’s plain - try spray
paint in gold, silver, or a cute color of choice that goes with your
theme this year!

Last but certainly not least...something about Starbucks just makes it feel like
Christmas! My go-to drink has been a cup of their black coffee with steamed soy & a
packet of honey. This not only saves the bank, it also saves hundreds of calories! But if
you have a latte you love - try subbing it for an Americano with steamed milk & a pump
or two of those Holiday Syrups. Again - save a couple bucks & hundreds of calories to
work towards that “New You, New Year” resolution!

I hope that these tips will be helpful in your everyday life. Let them spark inspiration to
be savvy, think outside the box, & find beauty and purpose in all things, just as Christ
does in us!
