The Highlife Dropouts
Crystal and Staci
Welcome to the Highlife Dropouts! What should you expect? Hilarious tales regarding, work, family, and all the things we were not prepared for regarding adulthood. Join us as we discover a new way to explore life and redefine the extravagant and luxurious. We're just two friends who opted out of the stereotypical American dream. We sold that ocean front property ideal to make our own way and find happiness in the now by stressing less and living more. The high life looked nice - but the dedication and stress to graduate into that exclusive class was not for us.
