personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I Did This Week: This week was solely focused on back pain, I slipped and fell last Monday and I thought I was fine, but I am very not fine. I have never really had back pain before, but this is something else. One of my co-workers asked me how I was doing Wednesday … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 6
February is an unusual month for me (although January was the same so maybe not) where I will be doing most of my purchases in person rather than online. I will be in Minneapolis for a concert over the long weekend and am planning on hitting up Target and Trader Joes while I am down … Continue reading What I’m Buying in February
What I did this week: This was another basic work week, I was in Weagamow First Nation (aka Round Lake aka North Caribou Lake - although I did learn this week that it is Weagamow, which translates into English as Round Lake, but the settlers named it North Caribou which is now it's government name … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 6
January was an interesting month spending wise, I spent the first week of the month in Toronto on vacation seeing friends and then came back up north and had to pay for airport parking for the 17 days I was gone and pet sitting for those days (insert Chrissy Teigen cringe face meme). It's funny, … Continue reading Financial Fitness Check-in: January 2023
What I Did This Week This week was incredibly boring. It was the first really, really cold week of the winter so far and so it's just been work and hibernation and trying to remember to go out and start my car ten minutes before I leave so that the engine can warm up from … Continue reading The Friday Edit Vol. 5
This wasn't a post I was planning on making, I've been trying to follow my intuition a bit more, and I felt like this was the right move. In general, so far in 2023, keeping myself accountable has been a huge part of everything I've been doing. The tracking sheets, the journaling, sharing stuff on … Continue reading February Goals
As previously mentioned in a couple posts last week, I had a bit of a menty b last week. If you aren't chronically online, then you may not be familiar with with "menty b", however it is just a short form for mental breakdown and to me it applies to when you aren't actually having … Continue reading The Perpetual Incompleteness of Adulthood
What I did this week: This week was mostly an office work week, although today I am on my way to Cat Lake First Nation for work. I also feel like I did something kind of naughty (not actually, but it feels like it). I was feeling an oncoming menty b. Not in like a … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 4
I love wish lists, I think they are a great way to guide your shopping. It's not a budget (especially because normally our wish list items tend to be bit more expensive than what we may actually buy), but I find that they help keep your planned purchases and resist impulse shopping. Of course I … Continue reading 2023 Wish List
This is going to be a new series where I document how I am turning myself into a morning person. I don't know if it's because I'm rapidly approaching 30 or for some other reason, but I feel like I need to conform to our society of morning people and also just adjust my sleep … Continue reading Morning Person in Progress
