Whenever i’m walking I love seeing how yall do up your porches and I wanna see more!!! Pls share pics 🌝🌝

Lakewood porches seem super unique to me. Like, you search up porch decor on Pinterest and you don’t get the type of porches we have on our houses: covered, with a wall enclosing it slightly and pillars. I wanna see how yall make em cozy and fun to hang out in!

I’d love to see pics of all types, but the root of this question is my porch is naked so I barely spend time out there and it’s getting warmer and I want to spruce it up for summer. I’m also lowkey on a budget so if anyone has specific recommendations for, idk, a cheap comfy sofa set or stores they think would be good to check out (and i’m no stranger to thrifting…) please let me know! Or any small change that you think made a big diff in your porch.

My most recent find is an outdoor rug from Aldi 🥳🥳

I’m not a huge bike rider but trying to unlock my inner childhood whimsy and get into just going places. What are some of your favorite places to bike ride to or around in the area, around the east side of Lakewood?

Any recs for good or bad streets to be on (side streets preferable) or parks or whatever?

Thanks yall🤠

What did you used to buy at say, CVS or Target regularly that now you have stopped buying there and exclusively buy at TDT because it’s the same quality and much cheaper? Also, what do you NOT get from dollar tree cuz it’s worth getting name brand?

Trying to rewire my brain to think of dollar tree as my drugstore but I just don’t know all the possibilities.

This can extend to makeup or skincare if theres a product that is super good. But strong scents really get to me which eliminates lots of the fun stuff 😣

For instance, I have gotten loofahs and wash cloths and soap bars from dollar tree and they’ve been great.

I saw they have a Sensodyne dupe which could be huge… and they have toothbrushes and even Tylenol.

I am wary of dupes of aquaphor or dishwasher pods, though, cuz those never perform as well as the name brand.
