One. The Hunger Games Trilogy. If your for you page looks anything like mine, it is only The Hunger Games analysis and the first weekend of Taylor Swift's Eras tour. So I re-read the trilogy and bought The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. These books only become increasingly resonant the older I get and the … Continue reading March Favourites
I talked about it last week, but the daily reminders to take these pictures on my phone has been such a game changer. A second week in a row where I remembered every single day. That has quite literally never happened. High: Really feeling back to normal. I am definitely still very stiff and tight … Continue reading A Week in Outfits

When I got the job that moved me up here, I told myself that I would just be here long enough to make enough money to be able to move to a big city and get enough work experience to be able to get a … Continue reading Two Years in Northwestern Ontario
Last Friday I was invited to talk to a career Lunch and Learn at a youth healing lodge in the town where I live.

I have put myself on a clothes buying moratorium until May, but I have been online window shopping, and I noticed a trend. Almost everything I'm adding to cart is in shades of lavender or lilac, and it is all just so pretty and fun. I'm also wondering if this is the lingering impacts of … Continue reading Lavender Loves
February was a disappointing but significantly less expensive month than it was supposed to be. I was supposed to go down to Minneapolis for a long weekend and do some shopping and go to a Maggie Rogers concert, but instead I broke my tailbone so I spent most of February lying on my stomach with … Continue reading Financial Fitness Check-in: February 2023
High: I went to coffee shop trivia on Wednesday night and we won! We each got a $15 gift card, which I used on Friday to take my work bestie out for a mental health coffee (which we both desperately needed).
