personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I am definitely in a tired season of life. I'm trying to make myself go to bed earlier every night but then I lie in bed listening to my downstairs neighbors play video games or fight or play loud music. Even with ear plugs in. This is also so mundane, but I'm going to start … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 10/28/2022
If last week hit me like a truck, this week hit me like a train after being hit by a truck. I covered for my manager for two days while he was away and omg I never want to do that again. Social Media Favorite: Matilda Djerf @matildadjerf Listen (read?), I am basic, I like … Continue reading Friday Favorites: She-Hulk, You’re Maintenance About, and Multiple Coffees
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
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
So this little trip didn't end exactly the way I planned (more details in tomorrow's post!) but I had a great time, and I really loved getting into the city for a bit. I have 100% concluded that I am better in a city. I don't necessarily think that Thunder Bay is my home, but … Continue reading (Semi) Long Weekend in Thunder Bay, Ontario
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
