Financial Fitness Check-In: November 2023
So it was supposed to be a No-Spend November, and overall I did quite well. But for all my bluster about avoiding Black Friday, I succumbed. I did do what I said I would and only bought things I have been thinking about for ages or actually needed. I bought a printer, ink, and a…

Avoiding Black Friday/Cyber Monday/Travel Tuesday
If you have been keeping up with my blog you will know that I have been doing a No-Spend November (and had been slaying until yesterday lol) but today is American Thanksgiving, which means that tomorrow is Black Friday and this entire month has been non-stop advertising sale after deal after sale and it’s been…

Financial Fitness Check-In: October 2023
October was baaaaad. I knew it was going to be an expensive month. I spent a full week down in Guelph at an AirBnB (it was paid for in September), and I ate out a lot basically the entire week, got some beauty appointments done, and bought some things I wasn’t planning on buying. Let’s…

No-Spend November
I have been feeling like I need a hard reset. Life has just been super busy the past few months, good busy, the best busy. But during the pandemic I got really used to keeping my apartment to a certain level of organization, my finances to a certain level of healthy, my chores a certain…

What I’m Buying in October
One. Vintage White Beaded Clutch. This is what mine looks like, but I bought mine at the Aberfoyle Antique Market so there isn’t a link to it and this one is beautiful too. Two. Leather Mini Skirt. Again, I bought mine on Poshmark, but this is similar enough, this is for my Halloween costume, but…

What I’m Buying in September
This month is a small round-up, however, not inexpensive. I haven’t 100% figured out if I am going to get all of the dress, jacket, and boots; I still have some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket (actually my kitchen cupboard lol, I should probably move it now). So I am considering putting…

4 Weeks To Get It Together
If you’ve been reading this summer you know that I have been all over the place. I have been in Phoenix, New York, London, all over Northern Ireland, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and still have two more weddings (in one trip, thank God) and I am feeling very frazzled. I made a TikTok on Monday going…

What I’m Buying In August
This month I am refocusing on this post as a way for me to budget and plan my purchases, to be really intentional with my wardrobe and purchases. I have been starting to think (in my head, I do need to write it down/put it in an Excel sheet or something) about having a really…

Financial Fitness Check-In: June 2023
Do I have any regrets? Some small ones. Is Taylor Swift one of them? Heck no. Neither are the tennis lessons or really anything else, I’ve decide that all of this stuff is October me’s problem. Obvious disclaimer: this is not a wise way to conduct your financial planning, however, I want to enjoy my…
