LET'S BEGIN

Welcome to Swell Acres! 😊❤️🏡

Hi, Friend! 😻✨

Hi There, Friend! I’m Genika “GG” Simon — aka Miss Thriftwoman. I am an artist, homemaker, caregiver, partnered, childfree, disabled mental health and holistic wellness thriver and leader, shopkeep, and FIRE guide.

I share my journey of slowing down, self care, simple living, and homemaking as therapy, meditation, and medicine to help myself and women — artists, homemakers, caregivers, single, married, partnered, mothers, childfree, retired, and disabled — heal, thrive, and build community over good food and drinks to create a Swell Life full of good mental health and holistic wellness, style, breaking bread, good experiences, humor, art, travel, and freedom.

Think of this as your front-row seat to my journey: letting go, rising again, and sharing everything I’ve learned and am learning about money, FIRE, homemaking, travel, thrifted style, simple and frugal living, food and drink, mental health and holistic wellness, creativity, and building a business and life you love.

Join me — laugh, learn, breathe, and take your first step to Create Your Own Swell Life (CYOSL).
