Soda Bread Success
Being the child of immigrants (or an Indigenous person, I’m learning) is being slightly disconnected from your birth culture. There are so many things that I can’t connect to that people who were raised in their country just get. Recipes, however, travel well, and provide such a feeling of home and connection with your culture.…

Wednesday Wants: Beauty
So this is slightly different, not only is this things I want, it’s also things I have an order placed on it. But I have run out of a ton of makeup and skincare items, which is great from the perspective of my Project Pan, but of course I’m out of the things I’m actually…

Top 10 Favourite Podcasts
I love podcasts, they are my favourite thing to listen to while I work, walk, grocery shop, clean, everything. Because I listen to them so much, I have listened to a lot of different shows. These are in no particular order, because I don’t think I can rank them because they fuel different interests and…

Saturday Scroll: US Open, Beyoncé, star-crossed, and the Met Gala
I got to do in-person work yesterday! It was thrilling, I’m also exhausted. The most tired I have been in ages.

How to Buy a Used Car
As many of you may know if you read regularly, my car broke down on my way back from a weekend in Thunder Bay in July. It is dead, I knew she was dying (her name was Phoebe), but I was really hoping she would make it to Christmas, I could drive it home (where…

Wednesday Wants: Hill House Home Edition
We have a very special edition of the new Wednesday Wants, there is a Hill House Home drop this Thursday! Now if you are into preppy fashion you will be familiar with Hill House Home, but if you’re anything like me it took you forever to pull the trigger or you still haven’t. I bought…

No-Buy Month Review
So in the month of August I attempted to do a No-Buy Month. The supposed purpose of a no-buy month is to get back on track with your finances, a reset, a cleanse for your spending instead of your eating, if you will. July had been a month reckless abandon with my spending, mostly because…

August Empties
I was actually pretty surprised when I opened my empties shoe box and saw how little there was. This is probably a product of my no-buy month, but I felt like I used a lot up this month and I definitely need to do a skincare order/shop very soon. I’m going to get more into…
