personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This will feel unrelated, but I promise it is. I love Christmas, I always look forward to it. However, this year I think that I am even more excited to be going home and close to an urban area, and hopefully spending some time in Toronto and Guelph and I am so excited to have … Continue reading Movies I CANNOT Wait To See
October was a surprisingly great month. I am really starting to feel settled here and like I am building a community here. It was a really good feeling to have social plans again. It just felt good to be around people outside of work. I have been saying for months that I was going to … Continue reading October in Review
I used to STRUGGLE to find pop culture Halloween costumes to wear that didn't require me to change or cover up my hair. In my opinion, my arguably either strawberry blonde, ginger, or auburn, depending on the season, hair is my best feature and I don't want to cover it up or change it even … Continue reading Halloween Costumes for Gingers (redheads)
It was a long weekend in Canada this week, so Tuesday was the first day of our week, but I really felt like it punched me in the gut, so it is the perfect time for this post. A photo-journal of WASP Rot. The best and most good Tennessean, Dolly Parton's favourite makeup looks. And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: the return of movies, Tennessee’s Queen, and Snoop
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
I'm down in Thunder Bay for the weekend and it's fully hitting me how much I miss city life. Walking every where, working in coffee shops, getting take out and walking down to the water to eat, BOOKSTORES, actually being able to get everything on your shopping list. I'm not hating living in Sioux Lookout, … Continue reading Obsessions: July 24
I don't have any pithy remarks to kick this off, so let's just get into the procrastination shall we? Yesterday was a perfect day, the 20th anniversary of Legally Blonde, definitely in my top 10 movies of all time. The outfits, the cast, the music, all *chef's kiss* perfection. Related: Were Elle and Vivian supposed … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
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
We left lockdown today!! I don't have anywhere to go or anyone to see and there are no patios in this town to go to, but we left lockdown today! I can go buy socks! And hand towels, and get a spare key cut for my apartment, and command hanging things! I could have technically … Continue reading Obsessions: June 11
This wonderful interview with Nell Diamond, the founder of Hill House Home and inventor of the Nap Dress I want oh so desperately. I can't decide if I'm cheugy or not, but caring would definitely be cheugy of me. Is it terrible that I am jealous of re-entry anxiety? This article about post-vaccine inertia has … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Lockdown blues
