personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Did anyone else kind of miss the mess that is getting ready for a night out, getting ready has always been one of the most fun parts of going out. My friend brought over this gold flake champagne, I didn't actually have any of it, but it sure looked pretty in the dishes the next … Continue reading November in Review
Even though I haven't lived in the USA since 2006 I still mark the start of the Christmas season by American Thanksgiving. I do not start listening to Christmas music, I do not watch holiday movies, I often don't even start my Christmas shopping before American Thanksgiving. But American Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and … Continue reading Christmas Movie Marathon
I feel like this week's round up is going to be short, everything is very Black Friday and Cyber Monday focused at the moment and I'm not shopping this week so it doesn't resonate with me much. Honestly, I probably would be shopping if I hadn't spent so much money on my car this month, … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
I don't know if other people have already had this feeling this year, I feel like I am finally emerging from the pandemic. Trust me, I know it's not actually over, my entire professional life is dominated by it (although I did have a few hours break this week to make an info sheet on … Continue reading Friday Favourites
I have been meaning to host a board games night for a couple weeks now, but I needed to push it away from Taylor Swift's release of Red (Taylor's Version) because I would not be emotionally stable enough to host an event. I love hosting events, my mom is really good at hosting and I … Continue reading Winter Activities: Hosting a Great Board Games Night
I know it's not technically winter yet, but we've had snow for a couple weeks now and it's been consistently below 0 degrees so it feels like winter is here. I am super nervous about winter up here and I need to find and create some ways to get through it and hopefully enjoy it. … Continue reading Winter Bucket List
I don't know about your dad, but I do know that I find all the dad gift guides I always see never having anything my dad would actually want on them. My dad does not barbecue, is not really into whisky/whiskey or any other drink, he's not techie, he is incredibly fussy about his clothes, … Continue reading Gift Guide for Difficult Dads
This is a discussion for another day, but this is a lot harder to keep up with as my life gets busier. I know we joke about this, with the "I know my friends are doing better when they are almost never posting on social media" memes and tweets. But it is hard to prioritize … Continue reading Sunday Scroll
It has snowed here nearly every day since Halloween, with really heavy snow starting on Thursday and going into Friday and then there have been flurries every day since and it is sticking. It's not that cold yet, but the snow is definitely not going anywhere and I just want to wear soft, cozy clothes, … Continue reading Winter Cozies – Fleece and Loungewear Round-Up
I have now been living in rentals for 9 years (I'm not counting living in a dorm room, there are even more rules there, but you are doing the bare minimum to personalize that, at least if you don't live in the south, there they do crazy things to dorm rooms). So I think I … Continue reading Rental Apartment Essentials
