Mid-Week Procrastination: Engagements, Babies, and Agatha All Along
This week I am feeling both the joy of warmer temperature and sunshine that actually has some heat to it and still very much running into the pandemic wall and remnants of seasonal doldrums. However, Monday was International Women’s Day which means that there are all kinds of lovely stories about women on the internet,…

Black History Month Round-Up
Over on my Instagram in February 2021 I did a daily story feature of a different favourite Black creator. Sometimes it was influencers, others artists, poets, and dancers; they were almost always female. But I was choosing the people that I truly admire their content or their work and those people happened to be women.…

Mid-Week Procrastination
I really love this desk set up from Julia Berolzheimer Grace blogs about her last trip pre-pandemic, I love that she finally felt like she could share it. It was so close to everything shutting down in North America that it felt insensitive for her to share it previously, but it is so beautiful and…

Obsessions: February 20, 2021
I feel like we don’t have a lot to hold on to anymore. We have lost so many of our favourite things: eating in restaurants, hanging out with friends, dating, celebrating life’s milestones, travel, seeing family, parts of our everyday life from school and extracurriculars to seeing our co-workers. Our lives have become what we…

My First Finished Needlepoint

It appealed to me over something like sewing or knitting, because the actually idea creation isn’t necessary. I’m not very good at…

The One E-mail Folder that Changed My Life
Is that a super click-baitey title? Yes Is it currently true for me? Also Yes! Me being unemployed hasn’t had any reduction in my email volume. I didn’t have a work email and didn’t really have any duties, besides seasonal reminders and all I had to do was create and send them, that involved email.…

Mid-week Procrastination
If you’re anything like me, Wednesday is your least favourite day of the week. Your productivity is slumping, the weekend is super far away still, it’s just the worst. But here’s a few things that could help you get through the day: A lovely story of a man who gets his wallet back 53 years…

6 Things I am doing to make my life more sustainable in 2021
Over the past several years I have been really inspired by the Zero Waste movement after being introduced to Lauren Singer’s platform online and then the wider zero/low waste community. I have already made changes like a plastic-free shower routine, eliminating plastic shopping bags, and only using reusable drinks containers (pre-COVID), and I make significantly…

Fast Fashion Series: Introduction
If you have spent time looking at your impact on the planet you have probably heard that fast fashion is not eco-friendly or ethical. They often exploit their workers and take advantage of workers in countries with really lax labour laws were they can pay them super small sums of money for really hard and…
