What I’m Buying in July
Hey… hey…how y’all doing? Long time no talk (unless you’re here from YouTube in which case it has only been since Sunday. I have absolutely no plans to be regular on here again, however, I was sitting on my couch after work on Monday and suddenly had the thought pop into my head that I…

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

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…
