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 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
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. Like we get about three weeks of spring and then … Continue reading May Favourites
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

Asparagus and feta quiche with arugula salad. 6. More croissants. I was just in shock at the price. I swear I remember when these bags were $9.99. Montana// Back … Continue reading April in Review
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
I cleaned out my closet a couple weekends ago, over Easter weekend, and as I was doing so I noticed what terrible condition my socks, knickers, and pyjamas were. 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
