6 Signs A Tiny House might be Right For You.
HGTV

HGTV’s “Tiny House Hunters” has brought to light the growing trend of tiny houses. Although Tiny Houses may seem unconventional to some, others can find their best lifestyle within five-hundred square feet and less. Are you meant to live in a tiny house? Here are six signs that the tiny house lifestyle might be right for you.

1. You’re frugal.



You don’t want to worry about buying a lot of furniture, paying for a lot of land, or high bills to heat your home; tiny houses can solve all of these problems. Within a tiny house, there is less space to heat, less room to furnish, and you can choose to have little land to plant your house on. You could even build your own!

2. You enjoy traveling.

The sound of a permanent residence scares you because you feel like you’ll lose out on visiting the Grand Canyon. Having a home on wheels would be cool because you could just drag your house along with you on your adventures. You wouldn’t need to cut the grass, deal with neighbors, or have any long-term commitments to anywhere.


3. You're introverted.


Introverts tend to be people who prefer to be alone more often than with a group of people. With a tiny house, you can’t really fit that many people in there comfortably, meaning you wouldn’t have to deal with as many people often. You can minimize the social world and maximize your me-time.

4. You don’t like to cook.

Because tiny houses are so tiny, kitchens are limited. If you don't like to cook, you won’t even care that the cooktop is a plugin and a mini fridge is all you have for the cold stuff.

5. You’re a minimalist.

You don’t mind wearing the same clothes everyday, surviving off of one pair of black leggings and a pair of blue jeans. You think an abundance is actually a waste, and less is more. For you, shopping is fun, but you may have buyer’s remorse when you start to feel like a hoarder. You’d rather limit yourself by living simply than having everything.

6. You desire less stress.

Being in a tiny house can give people the feeling of freedom. In a tiny house, cleaning, organizing, and living becomes something easy. It’s almost like you’re in your own little world.

With higher taxes and costs for living, it’s no surprise people are choosing tiny houses over typical homes. If you’re willing to cut back the tangibles, in exchange for more intangible experiences, a tiny house might be perfect for you.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
