personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Instagram Favourite: @KatieSturino Katie Sturino is very cool, very fun, and very inspiring. She started her own PR firm in her 20s (the original Tinder), got internet famous with her dog Toast (RIP), got internet famous herself with her posts and blog The 12ish Style, and then started a skincare company called Mega Babe that … Continue reading Friday Favourites: 12/10/2021
Honestly, yesterday, Thursday, I was having a sad day. Work was really getting me down. Working in public health is getting really hard, I can't stop caring about encouraging people to get vaccinated, I can't stop patiently having conversations with people about masks and vaccines and physical distancing and mental health and coping methods and … Continue reading Friday Favorites
This has been an insanely busy, but also a really, really good week. The week started with a memo that Remembrance Day would be a stat holiday (a paid holiday), I went into the office twice, had a work day trip, and then we had a really pretty snowstorm on the stat holiday so there … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021
This week was a rollercoaster! Mostly in my personal energy levels, on Wednesday I was essentially useless during the day but in the evening. I got task after task after task done. So it's been a wild ride. I feel both behind and accomplished at the exact same time. Elsa Massey @SimplyElsa Elsa has become … Continue reading Friday Favourites:
I feel like I’m running out of time this week and this month. There’s just so much to do and so much happening and I swear 2019 was last year but now my mom is asking for my 2021 Christmas list?? I am really excited to get my (very few) fall decorations, and I may … Continue reading This Week’s Friday Favorites: Cleaning, Nickelback, and Fall
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 … Continue reading Top 10 Favourite Podcasts
Professionally, this week was very overwhelming, I'm really hoping that after forest fire season things tone down for a bit at least, but probably we'll just get straight into ice and winterstorm planning and the fourth wave of COVID so ugh. I'm glad to be busy and not bored, but building a department from nothing … Continue reading Obsession: August 14
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn't fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even … Continue reading Obsessions: July 7th
Instagram Obsession: Olivia Muenter I found Olivia through her appearance on the Bad on Paper Podcast, I missed her fall candle review (she and her then-fiancé got drunk and reviewed ALL the Bath and Body Works fall candles). She's super funny, fun, and shares tips about freelancing, writing, and productivity. I also love that she … Continue reading Obsessions: July 31: Sneakers and Black Widow
Instagram obsession: @meghandono Meghan has become one of my favourite bloggers/influencers. I started following her for her sunscreen recs and her Francophile style. She had skin cancer a couple years ago (so I believe that would have put her in her early 30s, and I am rapidly approaching my late 20s) and has become super … Continue reading Obsessions: July 3rd
