Friday Favorites: Cost Per Wear and Moon Knight
This week felt so normal, I loved it. Work felt normal, as in still too much but manageable, I cooked proper dinners, I got my chores done, I even went for a walk. It was great. Really that’s all I have to report. Tomorrow I’m heading to Winnipeg for a city weekend and I’m going…

Friday Favorites: creepy TV and naps

Spring Cream Tea
Growing up my mum would sometimes just make scones for a treat, but an afternoon tea is one of my favourite treats, and there is something about them that just screams spring. I didn’t do a full afternoon tea, normally you would have a sandwich course, a scone, and a cake. I eliminated the cake…
