personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
Instead of doing weekly favorites I thought I would do a monthly favorite, except I haven't done a very good job of keeping track of things so far this month so I'm not sure how well this will go. My very first favorite has to be the late-summer, late-afternoon light, as you can see in … Continue reading August Favorites
This year feels like one of the longest years I have ever experienced (nearly as long as this blog post OMG). I saw a meme Tuesday that said that the Bernie mittens meme was only 11 months ago, and it feels like that's a lifetime ago, but also yesterday at the same time. I feel … Continue reading Best of 2021 – Media: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Content Creators
Even though I haven't lived in the USA since 2006 I still mark the start of the Christmas season by American Thanksgiving. I do not start listening to Christmas music, I do not watch holiday movies, I often don't even start my Christmas shopping before American Thanksgiving. But American Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and … Continue reading Christmas Movie Marathon
I have done very little but work this week. I am dragging myself out of bed each day at the last possible moment to still be able to conduct some personal hygiene before I sit down at my desk. I have no clue why I am so exhausted and it makes me nervous about how … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Halloween and High School Nostalgia

In my opinion, my arguably either strawberry blonde, ginger, or auburn, depending on the season, hair is my best feature and I don't want to cover it up or change it even … Continue reading Halloween Costumes for Gingers (redheads)

There are amazing seasonless movies, but Halloween movies are a genre on another level. These are the most fun movies, even if you're a little scared or they're completely ridiculous, … Continue reading Halloween Movie Marathon
Happy weekend everyone! I am tackling Kitchen Week from Go Clean Co.'s Fall Cleaning Challenge. I may have to buy some paper towel for it, which I literally have not bought a roll of paper towel in years, I generally use reusable rags, but if my oven is as dirty as the ones on @GoCleanCo … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
I don't have any pithy remarks to kick this off, so let's just get into the procrastination shall we? Yesterday was a perfect day, the 20th anniversary of Legally Blonde, definitely in my top 10 movies of all time. The outfits, the cast, the music, all *chef's kiss* perfection. Related: Were Elle and Vivian supposed … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
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
We left lockdown today!! I don't have anywhere to go or anyone to see and there are no patios in this town to go to, but we left lockdown today! I can go buy socks! And hand towels, and get a spare key cut for my apartment, and command hanging things! I could have technically … Continue reading Obsessions: June 11
