personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
May may have become my favourite month of the year. Everything is coming back to life, including me. The weather has gotten so good, people are back to being out and about, the lilacs are blooming and life is just good. The water is still too cold, but summer is just beginning. I went down … Continue reading May in Review
This was a great week, summer is here and I am back to thriving. Weekly high: On Saturday I had two woman stop me in Wal-Mart to tell me my hair looked good and the girl at Starbucks told me I looked like a Disney Princess. I was walking on air. You couldn't tell me … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
This might sound backwards, but I do most of my reading in the summer. I don't want to be inside looking at screens, and scrolling on your phone in the sun is an impossible task thanks to the glare so I do a lot more reading in the summer than I do in the winter. … Continue reading Summer Reading List
This Past Week// This was a short workweek in Canada thanks to Victoria Day (also known as May 2-4 or May Long, depending on where in the country you are) and I really felt it. Monday I tidied up my apartment, finished stitching a needlepoint, and had some Monday Scaries. Then the rest of the … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 16
I think May might be my favourite month, at least up here. It is the month that spring finally makes it's appearance up here and if I enjoy anything about up here it's that once warm weather really makes it's appearance it comes so quickly.

We are back to the "week-ish" posts this week, although I didn't do as badly as I originally thought I did, I only missed Monday. Last week's high: I think we are finally starting to have our program actually broken down into actual doable tasks. Which is very satisfying. This week's goal: Do not spend … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
This week I think it has finally started to hit me how much I have to prioritize my sleep. I am burning the candle from all sides for no real reason and it has to stop. It is impacting everything during the day and I have to be real with myself about it. Weekend Reading// … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 15
I have been feeling stumped, uninspired, and generally annoyed by cooking lately. So I have taken to my favourite recipe resources, Pinterest and Half-Baked Harvest for some inspiration, so here is a list of the recipes that I am looking to for ideas and inspiration. Now, I have not considered budget or food prices at … Continue reading Recipe Inspiration
I totally missed this post in April, I'm not sure what happened, but it must have been one of the many posts I missed during that month when I just got overwhelmed with work and life and sad that it was still winter. But we're back, baby. This is one of my worst performing posts, … Continue reading May State of The Union
Last week's high: Last week I was in Mishkeegogamang Ojibway Nation with work and it was such a good day. It's one of the drive-in communities we serve and the drive was great and I have a special place in my heart for them because I spent so much time there during the pandemic, so … Continue reading A Week In Outfits
