personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
If you aren't on TikTok, you may not be familiar with two things 1) April Theory and 2) the way "theories" abound on TikTok. I don't know if they really, technically count as theories. Although the definition of theory is "a system of ideas intended to explain something" (Google), so I guess maybe technically all … Continue reading April Theory
Last year I did this in February, to try and feel something, but all I felt was torture, it was still snowing a lot in May last year. So this year, I have pushed it until the end of April, the second day of spring, when the end is well and truly in sight and … Continue reading Spring Wardrobe Wants
The one thing that I think I have decided that I really like about this post every week is that it really feels like it marks the passing of time. Not in the big moments way, but in the every day, mundane, ordinary, basic moments of every day life. It feels valuable somehow, like I … Continue reading A Week in Outfits
What I did// The past week has been very normal, work and chores and trying not to spend money. I did post some of the clothes I am cleaning out on Facebook and I am actually quite proud of how they are selling.

A lot of my normal stuff is in pretty rough condition, activewear, sneakers, vacuum, sheets, cookware, suitcases, etc. I have a long list of stuff I … Continue reading Pyjamas Round Up

I don't think I've ever felt like this in … Continue reading Spring Motivation
Last week was weird, the weather was weird, we had a short week where the holiday was a Monday, I was extremely exhausted all week for no apparent reason. Just weird. Last week's high: We had two glorious days, temperatures in the mid-teens, it felt superb. It gave me hope. This week's goal: Keep up … Continue reading A Week in Outfits
What I Actually Bought These will all look familiar if you checked out my What I'm Buying in April post, but I am very proud to say that I have exactly stuck to my list. I have no intention of buying anything else. If I had unlimited funds, I absolutely would have stocked up on … Continue reading Spring 2023 Sephora Sale
What I did// This week I really started getting back into my old spring/summer routine. Well at least the days that were nice and sunny, however I am also exhausted. I think I have to really focus on my sleep routine. I have no energy and am barely getting through my essential tasks. But I … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 11
So this year I do not have an admin assistant for our department, although I do miss him so much. Losing him to another department has even more demonstrated the value of an admin professional and made me even more determined to highlight how important they are to other professionals and that everyone acknowledges admin … Continue reading Admin Professionals’ Day
