Welcome to Loving Life and Living On Less, a space carved out with care by Nolissa Orvandora to inspire thoughtful, intentional living through frugal culinary joy. While you’re exploring our reflections on budget-friendly food basics and calming kitchen rituals, we ask that you take a moment to familiarize yourself with our Terms of Use. These are the guiding principles that nurture and protect every interaction within our thoughtful community.
Our Ethos: Living Fully, Spending Mindfully
At Loving Life and Living On Less, we believe that simplicity can be a source of richness. Our platform is designed to celebrate resourceful meal planning, frugal fusion cuisine, and the quiet joy of discovering flavor without extravagance. These Terms of Use are in place to protect this gentle ecosystem and to honor the intention behind every page, recipe, and conversation. By using our site, you are agreeing to these terms—and to helping us keep this space meaningful and sincere.

This haven is open to all who seek to live life more thoughtfully and cook more creatively on a budget. Whether you’re here to learn new meal prep strategies or reflect on cost-conscious lifestyle changes, we welcome you. Our headquarters are nestled at 106 Godfrey Street, Portland, Oregon 97205, and we’re here between 9 AM and 5 PM if you ever feel the need to reach out or say hello.
1. A Community Rooted in Respect
The heart of our platform is its community. We ask all participants to honor each other’s stories, struggles, and knowledge. Whether you’re commenting on fresh insights or sharing your feedback, your words matter. We do not tolerate language or behavior that is harmful, dismissive, or discriminatory. Any content that undermines our safe and inclusive environment may be removed, and individuals responsible may lose their access to engage further.
2. Ownership of Content: Words That Matter
All articles, media, and materials shared on Loving Life and Living On Less are original works or contributed with proper permission. These creations—be they photographic glimpses of a thrifty Sunday spread or reflections on low-cost culinary exploration—remain the intellectual property of our team or respective contributors. You may enjoy and share a link to them in their native form, but you may not reproduce, edit, or distribute our content without express written consent.
3. Privacy: A Covenant with Our Readers
We understand that your journey toward simplicity is personal. The information we collect is treated with respect and confidentiality. We encourage all visitors to read our Privacy Policy, a thoughtful document explaining how your data is handled. Rest assured that your comfort and safety are our compass in all matters of trust.
4. The Role of Cookies: Quiet Enhancements
We use cookies not to follow you around the internet, but to gently enhance your experience—tailoring content and helping us understand what resonates most. You can delve into our Cookie Policy for the full picture, and tailor your settings as you see fit. Consent to cookies is part of our Terms of Use, silent but crucial in shaping your time here.
5. Inspirations, Not Instructions
Loving Life and Living On Less is not a kitchen command center—it’s a place of ideas, encouragement, and discovery. What you’ll find in our helpful reads and creative skills zone are inspirations, not instructions. We cannot guarantee specific outcomes or health benefits. Major lifestyle or dietary changes should always be discussed with professionals. We’re here to offer a hand—not a prescription.
6. Accessibility and Inclusion: Space for Everyone
We are continuously working toward making our website feel approachable, navigable, and accessible for every individual looking to learn and grow through frugality. If you encounter challenges while exploring our content, please let us know through our support channel. We are committed to building a better exchange of learning for all visitors, everywhere.
7. Revisions and Updates: A Living Policy
Just as ingredients and seasons change, so too may these Terms of Use evolve. We reserve the right to revise this page any time, and all updates will be reflected here. Continued use of the site constitutes acceptance of any amendments. Please visit this page periodically to ensure our vision continues to align with yours.
8. Third-Party Paths: Choose Mindfully
You may find occasional links throughout our platform—perhaps while browsing our inspirational tools or exploring an external recommendation. While we only point outward with good intent, we are not responsible for the content or practices of those third-party destinations. Use your discretion and savor those trails carefully, knowing our Terms apply solely within the gardens of Loving Life and Living On Less.
9. Partnering with Purpose
If you’re considering contributing to our mission through collaboration or promotion, we’d love to build something genuine together. Visit our Reach and Advertise page to learn how you can support this movement toward meaningful frugal living. We also encourage respectful connectivity via our Voice for Community page—where ideas gently intersect.
10. Guidelines: Preparing Space with Intention
Our Support Rules are an extension of these terms. They speak with clarity on how our content and community should function together in harmony. They’re worth a mindful read, especially if you wish to take part more actively in discussions or resource sharing on the platform.
11. Legal Standing and Jurisdiction
These Terms of Use reflect the laws of the United States and the State of Oregon. Any disputes, should they arise (though we hope they never do), will be handled thoughtfully and legally within the courts of Portland, Oregon. As in all things, our desire is not contention, but clarity.
