personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
March has been a whirlwind, January and February seemed to go so slowly and then March zoomed by like Roadrunner in the cartoon. I have also been busier in March than in either January or February, which was nice. We also got a taste of warm weather, we call it Fake Spring, but it was … Continue reading March in Review
It's Sephora sale time! I have always thought that there is a privilege in being able to shop sales. Being able to afford to stock up on your normal products and try out some new things with less financial risk because you got 20 or 15% off. But you still have to have spare funds … Continue reading Spring 2022 Sephora Sale
This was a slightly different week than normal for me, I took Wednesday to Friday off, at the recommendation of my therapist and manager to help with burn out, and I did nothing, including apparently take OOTDs, which is probably a good thing, because while I don't remember what I wore I'm sure it was … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
This post is a bit delayed, I haven't really figured out yet how I want to go about it. I also don't really know how I feel about this past year. I arrived in Sioux Lookout on March 14th, last year. There was no snow on the ground, and it was pretty consistently above 0 … Continue reading Northern Diaries: One Year in NWO
I have not felt so much like "wow, I really needed that time off" since university. I am still tired, but I feel refreshed. Rejuvenated feels too strong, but refreshed feels okay. I actually feel like I can now tackle some of the things on my long "want to do" list, which is exciting! So … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
This week has been the week that it feels like everything is turning a corner, the snow is really melting. We did have another snow storm yesterday, an absolute dump, it was close to 18 inches of snow. And this time of year the snow is very wet and heavy, no light, fluffy powder at … Continue reading Friday Favorites:
This is one of my favourite posts to put together. I love shopping, but I cannot afford nor do I have space to buy everything that I see that is pretty and I would want, so putting together these types of posts allows me to browse and share what I like without needing to buy … Continue reading Spring Needlepoint Canvases
I wrote an IUD update a month in, and I was not having a great time. You can read all about that here, including my decision making process and how the insertion went, but as a quick refresher, I got the Kyleena IUD, my first IUD ever, in December 2021. The nurse practitioner who inserted … Continue reading Thoughts on the IUD – Three Months In
I did a lot better with the outfit picks this week! I only missed one day, I also apparently had no clue what day it was any day this week. I was convinced that I started pet sitting on Friday, which that was the first full day, but it was definitely Thursday. Also, I can't … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
The Go Clean Co. Spring Cleaning Challenge starts today! There is no social media person, no challenge, no technique(s) that I have been exposed to on social media that has influenced me as strongly as Sarah, the face and founder of Go Clean Co. They are a Calgary-based house-cleaning company that pivoted to social media … Continue reading Go Clean Co. Cleaning Challenge
