personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This may have been my busiest December ever. In university I always assumed that after uni December would be a nice relaxing month, because you wouldn't have exams anymore that you needed to be studying for on top of Christmas prep. That was an incorrect assumption. I was home for 6 days this month between … Continue reading December in Review

They are just so fun and are the perfect start to cozy season. The caveat to my list is of course, that there are no … Continue reading Halloween Movie Marathon
This is going to be a weird one, not following my normal format of Favorite Instagram, TV/Movie, Podcast, etc. because I haven't been consuming nearly as much digital media this week. I read 5 books, hung out with my family, threw up watching the new Spiderman movie (sorry to everyone in the 2:40 showing at … Continue reading Friday Favorites: A Week to Rest
I am so excited to be heading home and to bop around Southern Ontario for 17 days (well four of those will be driving to and from Southern Ontario). I am a bit worried that Ms. Omicron will ruin this for me, but I am keeping my vaccinated fingers and toes crossed in hope. I … Continue reading Northern Diaries: Plans for Christmas and New Years in Southern Ontario
Well everyone, it's the end of September, time to wake up. In Canada, Thanksgiving is in October (oh and we did it first, do I want to do a history lesson here? Yeah let's do it.) First Nations across Turtle Island held thanks giving celebrations for time immemorial to celebrate harvests and hunts. It actually … Continue reading Realistic Thanksgiving Menu: Single & Solo
