personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I have been up north all week and I am so ready to get home. I'm tired, I miss my cat, my bed, and my Christmas decorations. I also broke both thumb nails this week and didn't bring any nail supplies and have just had to deal with them for the whole week. Which now … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Solo travel, serums, and in/out lists
I experienced my first below -40 day, I think ever, and now all I want to do is curl up under blankets with hot chocolates, teas, and coffees, bowls of soup or pasta and nest. I saw a meme or quote, I'm not sure which it would be, that said "all the other mammals hibernate … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Cozy Season
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's been a minute since I've done one of these, as work and social life picked up in the "pandemic recovery period" (we're not post-pandemic, I can't bring myself to say that yet), I didn't always consume enough content in a week to be able to pick favorites. That's why I did my August Favorites … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Old Marvel and little conveniences
There is one week left of this massive work project. One week left. One week of middle of the night calls, staying late to actually do my work instead of just being on calls and in meetings. One week. I can do anything for one week. Honestly, writing these posts six days a week, trying … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Podcast scares and a new favorite YouTuber
What an odd couple for this week's favourites, but sometimes that the way it happens. I don't know what combination of adulthood, winter, pandemic, and broke I am currently living in but I feel like my life has gotten so boring. I do the same thing every week, work, cook, clean, eat, sleep, read, watch … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Nap Dress Nation and Wall Street Journal??
It definitely took me a while to get back into the swing of real life after the holidays, but I finally feel like I'm back. Just in time for the weekend, but you know we take what we can get. I'm actually quite pleased this week, one of the vaccine clinics I helped with organizing … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 01/14/22
Happy New Years Day! Welcome to 2022. I hope you had a great night, and that you are surviving this morning. Or that you are chilling after a night in with a face mask, take out and in bed by 10 pm. I actually got a hotel room so that I could come down for … Continue reading (Hungover) Saturday Scroll: 01/01/2022
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
I love Christmas, I love how people decorate for it, I love the parties that are planned, the opportunities to dress up, the food, the thought put into gifts that people get, the music. Heck, I even like the Christmas Eve service with the candlelight singing of Silent Night, and I don't go to church. … Continue reading Simple, Hand-Me-Down Decorating for Christmas
