personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
The apathy is strong this week, or maybe it's not apathy maybe it's that thing the New York Times talked about last week that everyone was sharing (it's in here don't worry if you missed it) but it's kind of between enthusiasm for life and apathy caused by a simple lack of stimulation; languishing. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
I was talking to some friends over the weekend and we were talking about having to cook for ourselves (mostly along the lines of "No one tells you adulthood is figuring out what to eat 3x a day for the rest of your life") and having the "we have food at home conversation with themselves". … Continue reading Recent Recipe Successes
I'm rounding out the Earth Week content with a themed obsessions post! From drag-tivism to my favourite shops in Ontario to access low waste products - these are a few of my favourite things. Instagram Obsession: @Pattiegonia I adore Pattie Gonia and Wyn Wiley equally. They raise such awareness for outdoors-people who don't look like … Continue reading Obsessions: April 24

There are two super simple steps you can take … Continue reading Earth Week: Low Waste Laundry Routine
We're sticking to a theme this week (which means that next week's MWP post will be super full of fun, random stuff- hint, hint). But the ultimate Earth Week procrastination item would be to grab some shoes, a garbage bag, and a set of tongs and a container (if you live in an area where … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Earth Week Edition

I think I have made great strides here, but there are still areas I can work on. I also don't think that there is any increased costs … Continue reading Earth Week: Low Waste House Cleaning
Earth Day is this Thursday! So this week I'm going to be going through the changes that I have made and the space that I still have for growth here. Today is personal care/beauty/hygiene. This is the area that I have made the most growth in and still have the most room for growth I … Continue reading Earth Week: Low Waste Personal Care
Normally I write this post on Friday nights, but the news of our lockdown being extended made me not do anything last night. I agree that lockdown should be extended, we need further public health measures because this is the worst the pandemic has ever been in Ontario. Our new cases daily, our hospitalizations daily, … Continue reading Obsessions: April 17
Well Ontario. We're nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past … Continue reading Quarantine Round 4 Activities
This week is pretty heavy at work but I am really enjoying it! I normally hate making videos, but a) I actually suggested the video as an option and b) it's not that bad? It's definitely time consuming! I've been working on it for nearly 17 hours now and have nearly designed and animated about … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
