About: LOTG Finds

Real Talk. Budget Hacks. Curated Value.

Welcome to this corner of the grid! I’m Lila, a professional server, bartender, self-investor, and bargain hunter who recently hit the big five-oh (50) years old, or as I like to say, "The Level Up" milestone.

After almost two decades in the hospitality industry, I know people, I know sales, and above all, I know the true value of a hard-earned dollar. I believe deeply that everyone deserves fine, unique, and interesting things in their lives without breaking the bank or going into debt.

That philosophy is the heart and soul of LOTG Finds.

Why "The Grid"?

Think of Lila on the Grid as my digital avatar and personal character build. Behind the scenes, I’m a tech person working with AI, a practitioner of spiritual gnosis, and an avid—yet former—video gamer who loves immersive environments like World of Warcraft. I replaced those virtual worlds with "The Grid"—my Digital IRL and the overarching map of my digital world. LOTG Finds is a specific side-quest dedicated to smart shopping, creative builds, and real-world value.

Just like an avatar needs funds to level up, I have real-world financial goals and home projects that need funding, starting with a brand-new roof over my head.

Part of this journey is about manifesting income by combining my love for the internet, my shopping preferences, and my curiosity about direct-to-consumer platforms like Temu as part of my Lila on the Grid avatar journey. Instead of relying solely on the daily hustle, I’m bringing my sharp eye for value, decades of sales experience, tech background, and gaming perspective together to create income for myself.

How My Direct Links Work: The Side Quest Pact

Think of every product review, fit test, and deal hunt as a side quest I'm running for our community. I put in the work, test the gear, read the fine print, and bring back the real-talk report so you don't waste your hard-earned gold on bad drops.

When you use one of my direct links to make a purchase, the retailer pays me a small commission at zero extra cost to you.

Whether you're just here to watch, hang out, or learn a budget hack, I’m thrilled you’re along for the ride. If you do want to support the channel, here are two super easy ways to back my journey:

• Hit Subscribe: I have a major quest goal to hit 500 subscribers on YouTube! Reaching that milestone unlocks the next level of creator perks—including opportunities to get review items sent directly from brands so I can test even more cool gear for you.

• Use Direct Affiliate Links: When you click one of my product links to buy something you like, the retailer pays me a small commission at zero extra cost to you. It’s just a simple way of saying, "Thanks for showing me this cool find!"

Every click, subscribe, and share directly helps fund my real-world goals—like putting a brand-new roof over my head.

Thank you for backing my quest in whatever way you can!
