personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This wasn't a post I was planning on making, I've been trying to follow my intuition a bit more, and I felt like this was the right move. In general, so far in 2023, keeping myself accountable has been a huge part of everything I've been doing. The tracking sheets, the journaling, sharing stuff on … Continue reading February Goals
Welcome to the first financial fitness check-in where I am using my own spreadsheet rather than Mint and a pen and paper. It's kind of it's first test run. The one thing I cannot figure out is how to combine what I've classed as my "Bills" chart and my "Expenses" chart into one pie chart … Continue reading Financial Fitness Check-In: December 2022
This is my more woo woo version of the New Year's posts. It's more about the energy that I want to have in the new year and want to experience in the new year. I think this is also always my shortest post of the year as the images that I pick tell most of … Continue reading 2023 Vibes
If you haven't already read it, I posted my goals reflections and general reflections for 2022 on Saturday. That will be the last planned Saturday post for a while, I've also already posted my blog plans and updates for 2023, including that I am full-time dropping down to five posts a week rather than six. … Continue reading 2023 Goals/Plans/Aspirations
As we enter into 2023 I will be entering into my third year of running this little blog and I have been really thinking about what is working, what isn't, and where I want this to go and if I want this to go anywhere at all! Outside of work and my cat, this blog … Continue reading 2023 Blog Plans & Changes
This started out as a list of tasks, things I've been saying I'm going to do in 2022, that I have never gotten around to. Things I've been saying for months I'm going to do, and not done be it out of procrastination, exhaustion, or deprioritization, it doesn't matter. But then as I was thinking … Continue reading Things We Aren’t Taking into 2023
With Victoria Day weekend, May Long, May 2-4 whatever you want to call it, summer in Canada has officially begun, even if it is still cool and wet and this whole summer is predicted to be (good for wildfire reduction, not so great for summer fun). So it's time to think about all the things … Continue reading Summer ’22 Bucket List
I have a lot of financial goals this year, and to be honest we are not off to a good start. I think that this month will turn things around if I continue to keep my spending in check. I think most people find January to be a lean month, at least people that celebrate … Continue reading Financial Fitness Check-In: January 2022
This is a much more woo-woo version of a New Years Resolution Post. I don't know if I believe in manifestation or anything like that but I know that I want this year to be more fun, if that makes sense. And I know that is probably a really weird thing to say on the … Continue reading Vibes for 2022
I don't know what to call this post or these things. Calling them plans seems like asking for failure as we head into the third calendar year of the pandemic, when nearly all plans have been dashed, destroyed, and ruined. Including the majority of my Christmas break plans, so I guess having plans ruined is … Continue reading 2022 Goals/Plans/Aspirations
