personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Nylon did a Buffy week this week and I loved every second of it: The Big Bads Ranked, The Beauty Looks, The Couples (Willow and Oz should be higher), and the best musical moments. A list of witchy TV shows and movies to snuggle up with this Halloweekend. Round-up season is starting: Vogue's list of … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
I have done very little but work this week. I am dragging myself out of bed each day at the last possible moment to still be able to conduct some personal hygiene before I sit down at my desk. I have no clue why I am so exhausted and it makes me nervous about how … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Halloween and High School Nostalgia
I am one the verge of running out of several things at close to the same time. And in my opinion, they are things that I think I can easily (although maybe not inexpensively) swap out for lower-waste/cleaner alternatives. The point I have come to with living lower waste and reducing my impact is that … Continue reading Low-Waste Swaps I Want to Make
Honestly, the media this week is pretty lackluster, there aren't a lot of good pieces this week. But: Penn Badgley also thinks Dan Humphrey is the worst. Joe Coulombe aka Trader Joe wrote a memoir, that sounds incredibly interesting from this synopsis, and I've only been to Trader Joe's once! I really wanted to go … Continue reading Saturday Scroll 10/23
This week has been a whirlwind, it is the first week in ages that I cannot believe it is already Friday. It was nice to feel like I had a life again. Instagram Favourite: @venturetravelist : Regan Cleminson I started following Regan shortly pre-quarantine, but I also found her cycling and hunkering down and getting … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Reality TV, Ultra Repair Cream, and LL Bean Slippers
Happy Waste Reduction Week fellow Canadians! I've been enjoying a bunch of random YouTube videos lately, including in the "things I no longer..." vein, and while I'm definitely not going to be starting a YouTube channel anytime soon (but I'll never say never!) I'm loving a lot of these trends and want to write blog … Continue reading Waste Reduction Week: Things I no longer buy living low waste
I have not been stitching a lot lately, or reading, I notice that when I'm getting stressed or overwhelmed the only thing I do is watch TV or movies. I also need to do a threads order so that I can stitch the canvases I have. However, browsing canvases is one of my favourite pastimes, … Continue reading Autumn Needlepoint Canvases
This morning is the first sunny day here in like 9 days and I am loving it so much. It's supposed to get grey and start raining again this afternoon, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Short weeks sometimes feel so much longer than normal 5-day work weeks because you have so much to … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
I used to STRUGGLE to find pop culture Halloween costumes to wear that didn't require me to change or cover up my hair. In my opinion, my arguably either strawberry blonde, ginger, or auburn, depending on the season, hair is my best feature and I don't want to cover it up or change it even … Continue reading Halloween Costumes for Gingers (redheads)
I have returned to pet sitting to help make some extra cash to help speed up the process of paying off the debts I have accrued over this past year. It has been an expensive year, I was unemployed for 2.5 months. I moved twice. Once from Oakville to the Ottawa Valley and again from … Continue reading Pet Sitting Supplies for Dogs and Cats
