HEY THERE,
WELCOME TO
YAGIRLSMALLS!

Say hello to our Lil spot on the internet where we cook, obsessively plan for everything, and look good while doing it. I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Leslie Small
Let’s cheer to the chaos, bestie!

I’m a Small Town Girl in North Eastern North Carolina who’s a first-time homeowner and 20-twenty-something just trying to figure it out. 

I’m the friend that has crazy stories about my antics in my rural hometown. Plus, I’m chronically online for my job as a website designer. 

I’m making my life a brand to prove that if I can do it so can you. I like to write about cooking, my crippling online window-shopping obsession for clothes and home decor, and anything else I want to talk about. 

And boy let me tell you… I can talk a lot!

Looking for inspiration?

Come Hang Out At The House

When I became a homeowner at 23, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. That’s thanks to purchasing a fully furnished house from a 90-year-old woman with fantastic taste!
