Hi, there!

My name is Amanda and I’ve been blogging here on Affordable by Amanda since my college days at Florida State University back in 2015.

Affordable by Amanda started out as a creative outlet for myself while I attended college in 2015. I began my journey as a blogger with a measly Nikon camera and a tripod. I took to my blog and Instagram social channels to share budget-friendly finds with other young millennial-aged gals!

Currently, I reside in beautiful sunny St. Petersburg, Florida with my boyfriend and our two furry animals, Chance and Simba.

Affordable by Amanda is the creative space I utilize to share all of my daily inspiration (while sticking to a budget, of course!). I hope you enjoy searching my site for helpful articles on style, beauty, and travel anecdotes.

I’ve been lucky to partner with national name brands over the years to turn my side hustle into a money-making career path for myself as an entrepreneur. These days I hold the positions of President of Affordable by Amanda Inc. and Digital Influencer.

When I’m not sharing exciting new skincare products over on Insta Stories, you’ll find me cuddled up on the couch watching Married at First Sight or catching up with the Real Housewives!

On this platform, even after all these years later, I still enjoy sharing affordable clothing, makeup, skincare, and home decor discoveries.
