personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I have been up north all week and I am so ready to get home. I'm tired, I miss my cat, my bed, and my Christmas decorations. I also broke both thumb nails this week and didn't bring any nail supplies and have just had to deal with them for the whole week. Which now … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Solo travel, serums, and in/out lists
This was an unusual haul of empties this time around, mostly because there were more cardboard packaged items in this month's collection than plastic or glass packaged items like normal. Which I thought was interesting, I don't know if it really means anything, is just interesting. I've also been thinking about doing a big summary … Continue reading November Empties
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
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
I've had this post scheduled for weeks, but I kept pushing it because even though replacing an essential make up product or toiletry item was in my exceptions list for my no-buy month, I was still doing a no-buy month. But if I'm going to get something that could be considered clean or low-waste beauty … Continue reading Project Pan: Powder
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
Compared to March it looks like I didn't use anything up this month! Mostly, I just finished up some samples that I have had for several months. The nice thing about a Project Pan is that you actually do use those random things that you have accumulated over your years of purchasing. I do see … Continue reading April Empties
We're sticking to a theme this week (which means that next week's MWP post will be super full of fun, random stuff- hint, hint). But the ultimate Earth Week procrastination item would be to grab some shoes, a garbage bag, and a set of tongs and a container (if you live in an area where … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Earth Week Edition
