personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I have put myself on a clothes buying moratorium until May, but I have been online window shopping, and I noticed a trend. Almost everything I'm adding to cart is in shades of lavender or lilac, and it is all just so pretty and fun. I'm also wondering if this is the lingering impacts of … Continue reading Lavender Loves
This was an absolute roller-coaster of a week. I started on such a high, looking forward to an amazing long weekend in the city and going to a concert, but that did not happen. High: I really liked my Valentine's Day outfit and I got to get a lot of rest this week (can you … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
This week was a roller coaster, I am so glad that my vacation starts on Friday because I am in desperate need of a break. A proper break, out of town and away from responsibilities.

It makes me so much more intentional about what I purchase, what I do with my money, and I do stick to it, and if there is something that comes up in the middle … Continue reading What I’m Buying in May
It has snowed here nearly every day since Halloween, with really heavy snow starting on Thursday and going into Friday and then there have been flurries every day since and it is sticking. It's not that cold yet, but the snow is definitely not going anywhere and I just want to wear soft, cozy clothes, … Continue reading Winter Cozies – Fleece and Loungewear Round-Up
Over the past several years I have been really inspired by the Zero Waste movement after being introduced to Lauren Singer’s platform online and then the wider zero/low waste community. I have already made changes like a plastic-free shower routine, eliminating plastic shopping bags, and only using reusable drinks containers (pre-COVID), and I make significantly … Continue reading 6 Things I am doing to make my life more sustainable in 2021
