personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Instagram Obsession: Olivia Muenter I found Olivia through her appearance on the Bad on Paper Podcast, I missed her fall candle review (she and her then-fiancé got drunk and reviewed ALL the Bath and Body Works fall candles). She's super funny, fun, and shares tips about freelancing, writing, and productivity. I also love that she … Continue reading Obsessions: July 31: Sneakers and Black Widow
I feel like I should immediately clarify that this is an automobile break down and not a mental health break down. When I first started working on this post I didn't even think about how this title could be interpreted in multiple ways. If you are looking for support for a mental health break down … Continue reading Being Prepared for a Breakdown
So this little trip didn't end exactly the way I planned (more details in tomorrow's post!) but I had a great time, and I really loved getting into the city for a bit. I have 100% concluded that I am better in a city. I don't necessarily think that Thunder Bay is my home, but … Continue reading (Semi) Long Weekend in Thunder Bay, Ontario
I'm having another week where I am super exhausted and am struggling to get out of bed at a decent time each morning. If you read my birthday reflections post, I realized that the only goal I set last year that I didn't met were my "physical" or health ones. So I've made a plan … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
Late summer is in my opinion, second only to the holidays for best season to needlepoint. It is so hot, and you have done most of your summer things and just want to sit by the water or in the air conditioning and stitch. Some of these are canvases I have in my stash, I … Continue reading Late Summer Needlepoint
I'm down in Thunder Bay for the weekend and it's fully hitting me how much I miss city life. Walking every where, working in coffee shops, getting take out and walking down to the water to eat, BOOKSTORES, actually being able to get everything on your shopping list. I'm not hating living in Sioux Lookout, … Continue reading Obsessions: July 24
I pushed this to Thursday for my birthday yesterday, I hope you don't mind. I'm really excited for this weekend, we are finally allowed to go to Thunder Bay without self-isolating on return (per work, not the government) and I am going to go to Chapters! and Michaels! and a good Farmer's Market! and eat … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
On my last birthday, when I turned 27, I journaled a huge reflections on 26 that was really fun to look back on this year and see that I had actually done a lot of the things I set out to do. So, today as I turn 28, I've been journaling my reflections on 27. … Continue reading Reflections on 27
I've been telling myself lately to actually go do the things that I find myself wanting to do, whether I have company or not. So this was one of the things I made myself go do. It was hellishly hot though so I just did the short trail but this is a great and very … Continue reading Northern Diaries: Ojibway Provincial Park
We all say that we are going to do things. It can be anything, from showering at night instead of the morning, to local experience things, traveling, exercising more or less depending on what you need or want, literally anything. Yesterday, Sunday, I actually got myself together and went for a hike at Ojibway Provincial … Continue reading Actually Doing the Things
