Welcome to Swell Acres! 😊❤️🏡

Hi, Friend! 😻✨

Hi There, Friend! I’m Genika “GG” Simon — aka Miss Thriftwoman. I am an artist, writer, speaker, shopkeep, and peer recovery coach focused on mental health, thrifting, homemaking, micro business, and financial independence.

I share my journey of slowing down, self care, simple living, and homemaking as therapy, meditation, and medicine to help myself and folks heal, thrive, and build life you love.

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, Financial Independence Retire Early (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).
