- [How "Free Shipping" Gets Me Every Time](https://colorsofmay.com/how-free-shipping-gets-me-every-time/): Free shipping talks me into buying things I never planned to buy—hand cream, socks, a candle, anything to hit the threshold. Here’s why it works on me every time.

- [When the Cheaper Option Isn’t Actually Cheaper](https://colorsofmay.com/things-worth-spending-more-money-on/): I love a bargain. I will compare prices, wait for a sale and happily buy the store-brand version when I don’t think the difference matters. Paying more just because something has prettier packaging or a recognizable name has never made much sense to me. But I’ve learned there are some things worth spending more money on. Not because the expensive version is always better. It isn’t. It’s because I’ve bought the cheaper version enough times to realize that replacing something three times is a remarkably inefficient way to save $10. And sometimes the extra cost isn’t even about replacing it. It’s […]
- [20 Minute Home Reset for a Tidier Home](https://colorsofmay.com/20-minute-home-reset/): Sometimes the house doesn’t actually need cleaning. It just needs to look a little less… scattered. The counters are covered with things that don’t belong there. Shoes have gathered by the door. A blanket is half on the sofa and half on the floor. There’s a water bottle on the coffee table, yesterday’s mail on the counter and somehow a hair tie in every room. None of it is particularly terrible. Together, though, it can make the whole house feel messy — and there’s real psychology behind why clutter feels so draining. The good news is that you don’t have to […]

Here's a simple three-category system — Trash, Act, Keep — to clear it for good without an elaborate filing setup.
- [Comfortable Travel Shoes: What I Learned the Hard Way](https://colorsofmay.com/comfortable-travel-shoes-what-actually-works/): I used to think "comfortable" meant soft in the store. Hours of walking taught me otherwise — here's what I look for in travel shoes now, from the toe box to the sole, and why I've stopped believing the label.
- [The Bulk-Buy Repackaging System That Actually Saves Me Money](https://colorsofmay.com/bulk-buying-repackaging-system/): Bulk buying can save money—if you have a system for storing it. Here’s how I repackage the awkward stuff, keep everyday items easy to use, and avoid pantry waste.
- [The Art of a Welcoming Home](https://colorsofmay.com/welcoming-home/): I still remember walking into my friend’s welcoming home years ago, and before I even said hello, my shoulders just… dropped. There was a lamp glowing in the corner, something simmering on the stove, and a stack of books on the coffee table that clearly got used. Nobody had cleaned for company. It didn’t matter. (Swap this in for a real memory of yours if one comes to mind — it’ll land even better coming from something you actually lived.) Have you ever felt that before? Not because the kitchen was enormous or the furniture looked expensive. You probably couldn’t even […]
- [The Little Packing Habits That Made Travel Easier](https://colorsofmay.com/packing-list-for-travel/): I used to dig through my bag mid-flight for hand sanitizer and my charger, over and over. Here's the packing list for travel I built after finally getting tired of it

- [I Don't Need to See Everything When I Travel Anymore](https://colorsofmay.com/traveling-without-seeing-everything/): I used to treat vacations like assignments — see everything, do everything, earn the trip. These days, I'd rather remember a place than complete it.
- [Money Feels Different When the Paychecks Stop](https://colorsofmay.com/spending-money-in-retirement/): Spending money in retirement feels different once the paychecks stop. A personal, honest look at money, mindset, and letting go of guilt.

- [About](https://colorsofmay.com/about/): hello! i’m May Welcome to Colors of May! After years of a full, busy life, I’m embracing a new chapter with more time for creativity, mindfulness, and joy. For a long time, my days were shaped by deadlines, systems, and to-do lists that never seemed to end. I never thought of myself as a “creative person” — that wasn’t really part of the story I told about myself. But after retiring, with a little more open space in my days, I started experimenting. Pottery, painting, cooking — just to see. And somewhere in that experimenting, I discovered I actually loved making […]
