personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I Did// The last two weeks have been absolutely bonkers, I am back to volunteering remotely and I spend so much time in meetings now. At work, after work, it's nearly 8, 9 pm by the time I get done. I'm not mad about it, but it has been a lot lately. I also … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 9
Paris Fashion Week is happening, and it is stunning, simple, and unbearably chic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykYI5iMUwdk I haven't watched this yet, but it will be my Saturday brunch companion. The fact that I am single does not make actively dating a requirement for my life. A thorough bashing of Canadian architecture. I think I may have just … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 01/29/22
So to be honest, I actually wasn't certain if Sephora Canada participated in their semi-annual sale, but Sarah from @TheBirdsPapaya talked about it the other day and the website has all the info on it so I am taking that as a yes! I'm not certain if I am actually going to buy anything due … Continue reading Sephora Sale – VIB Canadian Edition
When I picked up my empties box today I thought it must be packed full because it was so heavy. It was decently full, but I think that most of the weight came from the couple empty glass containers that were in it rather than a great abundance of used up product. I also have … Continue reading October Empties
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 … Continue reading Wednesday Wants: Beauty
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 … Continue reading August Empties
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
This was a big month for using stuff up. Some of it makes sense, a few things I have been using since last November and some were purchases I had to make because I haven't yet got used to having to be prepared and planning ahead to avoid using plastic/packaged products. This is a great … Continue reading July Empties
I am feeling slightly derailed as my blog post schedule is being impacted by my real life. We were supposed to be moving back into the office today, but then there was a government announcement that it was still recommended that non-essential employees still work from home until September 7. I have very mixed feelings … Continue reading June Empties
So this is super late - oops, but I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and then I got a last minute appointment to have my summer tires put on and drove my car out there and then decided to walk back. The walk took two hours. It started raining. I got completely soaked. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
