personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
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
January was a great month of reading, not because I read a lot, but because the books were fun. They were light, they were fluffy, there was some murder, there was some sex, there were gorgeous Italian villas, ancient libraries, and museum archives. It was just a great time. Good Girl Complex by Elle Kennedy … Continue reading What I Read in January
This was the coldest week of the winter so far, and what's interesting is that basically every week last winter was like this, but this winter hasn't been. So we had to remind ourselves how to deal with it. And last year we were still work from home full-time so I didn't have to go … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
We're only a few days into February, but it has this energy, there is a stress, an anxiety, a rushed feeling to the energy this month. February is such a short month, but it feels like time is moving so much faster than normal this year. Maybe it's age. Maybe it's just that things are … Continue reading February State of the Union
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
This week started weird and finished pretty great. I just felt off Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday I took a sick day even though I wasn't really physically sick and it just turned everything right around. Although it did make Thursday much busier and more stressful than it needed to be but I felt … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
January has been such a great month, 2023 seriously has a lot to live up to. It was so fun, I spent so much time with people I love, and got to do so many things and it was just a great time. I started off the New Year with a hot mat Pilates class … Continue reading January in Review
