personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I was so surprised when I was going through my camera roll for this at how many hiking/outdoorsy pics there were. This is my most outdoorsy month ever in my life. It was really nice though, we had pretty great weather for October in Northwestern Ontario. We don't have any snow and I am extremely … Continue reading October in Review
I am definitely in a tired season of life. I'm trying to make myself go to bed earlier every night but then I lie in bed listening to my downstairs neighbors play video games or fight or play loud music. Even with ear plugs in. This is also so mundane, but I'm going to start … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 10/28/2022
I'm so tired, I think it's winter setting in. It's hard to get out of bed in the morning because it is cold and dark. It's hard to be motivated to do stuff in the evening because it is cold and dark. I'm trying to work on being better at going to bed earlier and … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 14
High: On Thursday I went to my first group fitness class in town. I went to a spin class in Winnipeg in May, but this is the first one I've been to really since the pandemic that has the opportunity to become a regular event. And when I walked in the room I knew a … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
Last winter was rough. I had never thought that I experienced seasonal affective disorder (SAD), but that was definitely exactly what I experienced, along with insane loneliness in lockdown after lockdown while living alone in a new town where I hadn't really made any friends yet, thanks to the lockdowns and work-from-home. It was the … Continue reading Preparing for a Bleak Mid-Winter
It's so funny how much difference a week can make in your mood, or even a day, I was nearly skipping home from the gym. It is great (although I am currently sobbing watching The Princess Diaries), so take from that what you will. And Happy New Taylor Swift day to all who observe. Social … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 10/21/22
We are back to our regularly scheduled programming, with the Mid-Week Procrastinations, I'm trying to be flexible, when I have more content we do Saturday Scroll, when I have less, we do the Mid-Week Procrastination. This is the first full week I have worked in ages, so let's say I needed this. I've been wanting … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination Vol. 13
This week was a roller coaster, a lot of things were really great and a couple things were really not great. I'm also just back to being super tired again. It's like I wasn't on vacation three weeks ago. High: It was a really social week, and a short week with Halloween, which was nice. … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
Halloween movies are some of my favourite movies, they are so campy and ridiculous and they dip their toe into horror movie tropes without being scary, which I cannot handle. They are just so fun and are the perfect start to cozy season. The caveat to my list is of course, that there are no … Continue reading Halloween Movie Marathon
What a week, I think I hate a short week. They are so rushed, I don't know if a four-day work week would be better or worse than a five-day work week. This is a heavier one, but why inflation is so persistent. The best Tom Hanks movies. Which had to be such a hard … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 10/14/22
