personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I had every intention of writing this last night, but we didn't get back from our work trip until 9pm and it was such a long day that all I did when I got home was feed the cat, lie down on the couch for half an hour and go to bed. I do however … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/11/2022
It feels a bit, meaningless? nihilistic? absurd? to do something like write a blog post about your social media favourites and favourite TV when Russia has invaded Ukraine thanks to one old white man's romanticization of the past and a desire for a return to the age of empires. But if I learned anything during … Continue reading Friday Favorites: news overwhelm and favourite jeans
Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited for today because I am getting paid for a pet sitting job AND my real job. I'm spending over half that money on winter tires, but you know, it will feel good for an hour. Instagram Favourites: T.I.B.A.L aka @things.i.bought.and.liked TIBAL is the ultimate anonymous influencer. She takes her … Continue reading Friday Favorites: TIBAL, The Cut, Winter House, and Leggings
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
This week was a rollercoaster! Mostly in my personal energy levels, on Wednesday I was essentially useless during the day but in the evening. I got task after task after task done. So it's been a wild ride. I feel both behind and accomplished at the exact same time. Elsa Massey @SimplyElsa Elsa has become … Continue reading Friday Favourites:
I feel like I’m running out of time this week and this month. There’s just so much to do and so much happening and I swear 2019 was last year but now my mom is asking for my 2021 Christmas list?? I am really excited to get my (very few) fall decorations, and I may … Continue reading This Week’s Friday Favorites: Cleaning, Nickelback, and Fall
Professionally, this week was very overwhelming, I'm really hoping that after forest fire season things tone down for a bit at least, but probably we'll just get straight into ice and winterstorm planning and the fourth wave of COVID so ugh. I'm glad to be busy and not bored, but building a department from nothing … Continue reading Obsession: August 14
For only the 2nd time ever I missed my normal Saturday posting of my Obsessions post. The first was because I was moving halfway across the country and hadn't fully figured out the schedule post function, this time is because I have been throwing up violently for most of the weekend and could barely even … Continue reading Obsessions: July 7th
Instagram Obsession: Olivia Muenter I found Olivia through her appearance on the Bad on Paper Podcast, I missed her fall candle review (she and her then-fiancé got drunk and reviewed ALL the Bath and Body Works fall candles). She's super funny, fun, and shares tips about freelancing, writing, and productivity. I also love that she … Continue reading Obsessions: July 31: Sneakers and Black Widow
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
