personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
These are back, it only took a couple weeks, but I've decided I miss these in the middle of the week. I love these so much, a Wednesday pick-me-up, a booster to get through the week. Also, knowing I was doing this, I didn't publish on Saturday, so we have a week and a half … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: WFH, #FreeBritney, and skin care
I mentioned in yesterday's post that I like to plan a fall movie marathon for Thanksgiving weekend because I normally spend that holiday alone. I separate these from Halloween movies, I watch those after Thanksgiving because I'm a weirdo who likes to compartmentalize my holidays and enjoy each one before jumping to the next one. … Continue reading Fall Movies List : Thanksgiving Movie Marathon
Well everyone, it's the end of September, time to wake up. In Canada, Thanksgiving is in October (oh and we did it first, do I want to do a history lesson here? Yeah let's do it.) First Nations across Turtle Island held thanks giving celebrations for time immemorial to celebrate harvests and hunts. It actually … Continue reading Realistic Thanksgiving Menu: Single & Solo

I am really excited to get my (very few) fall decorations, and I may … Continue reading This Week’s Friday Favorites: Cleaning, Nickelback, and Fall
I see posts in Facebook groups asking what they should buy to survive their first northern winter all the time and honestly, I wish I had had a guide when we moved to Canada (although blogs weren't even a thing then, so a magazine article I guess?), so here is what you need when you … Continue reading What a Southerner Needs in a Northern Winter
Last week was the first week in ages that I had to get dressed every day for a full week (even pre-pandemic I had been wearing exclusively for a few months and then on weekends for 2 years, and later in grad school it is what can I put on my body to cover it … Continue reading Wednesday Wants: Fall Accessories Edition
There is something about cooking and baking as the weather cools (she says as it is 30C outside today) that is just so much more enjoyable and, I don't know, romantic? than cooking in the summer. So I am super excited to start cooking for fall. ANTONI FROM QUEER EYE I've had Antoni from Queer … Continue reading Fall Recipe Dreaming
Happy weekend everyone! I am tackling Kitchen Week from Go Clean Co.'s Fall Cleaning Challenge. I may have to buy some paper towel for it, which I literally have not bought a roll of paper towel in years, I generally use reusable rags, but if my oven is as dirty as the ones on @GoCleanCo … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
This week has actually been an excellent week! We have been having a staff retreat at work and it's in person! I have gotten to meet so many people, I've made friends! I've never thought of myself as an extrovert, but I am so energised (but also exhausted) by this past week and all the … Continue reading Friday Favorites
Being the child of immigrants (or an Indigenous person, I'm learning) is being slightly disconnected from your birth culture. There are so many things that I can't connect to that people who were raised in their country just get.
