personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
August is such a weird month, I think especially since I now live so far north and have such clear memories of how miserable I was this past winter August felt like there was so much pressure. To do things, to have fun, to go to the beach, to swim. But then it was also … Continue reading August Slipped Away
I was quite bad at taking outfit pictures this past week, but as the renowned outfit repeater I am, I dove throw the archive of pictures I now have and found other pictures of the same outfits. I tend to edit these pictures the same way every week, so hopefully you can tell the difference, … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
I hope the title gives away the trigger warnings, but to be safe: TW: body image, body dysmorphia, disordered eating, eating disorders and weight/size. I have unintentionally lost weight this summer. I don't own a scale, I don't know what I weighed at the beginning of the summer and I don't know what I weigh … Continue reading I Want to Talk About Body Image
If last week hit me like a truck, this week hit me like a train after being hit by a truck. I covered for my manager for two days while he was away and omg I never want to do that again. Social Media Favorite: Matilda Djerf @matildadjerf Listen (read?), I am basic, I like … Continue reading Friday Favorites: She-Hulk, You’re Maintenance About, and Multiple Coffees
You know that meme where you say every day "omg what a day" and then you realize it's just your life. That's where I am. I am desperately counting down the days to my vacation. I'm in love with this new American Girl doll, Claudie, about the Harlem Fashion Row. Look at that gold outfit! … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 12
Back when all of that early days of the pandemic stuff was trending on TikTok (people were romanticizing those initial "two weeks inside"), I didn't get it. But I kind of do now, I think I maybe just need a proper vacation, but I would really love two weeks with limited work, no social engagements, … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
I am so nervous for summer to end this year. I have no concrete plans to leave the north yet (as in I don't have enough money saved up nor a new job), so I am staring down the barrel of another Northwestern Ontario winter and I am terrified. So I want to eke out … Continue reading End of Summer Bucket List
It's been a minute since I've done one of these, as work and social life picked up in the "pandemic recovery period" (we're not post-pandemic, I can't bring myself to say that yet), I didn't always consume enough content in a week to be able to pick favorites. That's why I did my August Favorites … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Old Marvel and little conveniences
It is the kind of week where on Tuesday evening I texted my work friends and asked if we could get drinks. Monday and Tuesday kicked my butt. My brain is mush. How to set boundaries at work respectfully. How to take better work breaks. Copenhagen has become one of my favorite fashion weeks, it … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 11
I worked from home most of this week as I was pet sitting, and it was so nice. I'm not hating being back in the office, but I do love working from home. It is so nice not to have to take the time and energy to really get ready. High: I feel as though … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
