personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
What I did this week: This week was mostly an office work week, although today I am on my way to Cat Lake First Nation for work. I also feel like I did something kind of naughty (not actually, but it feels like it). I was feeling an oncoming menty b. Not in like a … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 4
Instead of doing weekly favorites I thought I would do a monthly favorite, except I haven't done a very good job of keeping track of things so far this month so I'm not sure how well this will go. My very first favorite has to be the late-summer, late-afternoon light, as you can see in … Continue reading August Favorites
I don't know which of us is more excited that we can sometimes open the windows in the afternoon. I am still out of the house pet sitting, but I go home everyday to take care of my wee beast and I've been opening the windows to let the stale winter air out. This week … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Afternoon breezes and afternoon tea
This was one of those weeks where it simultaneously felt hellishly long and also whipped by in a flash. I am super excited for this weekend. I get to spend the whole weekend at home and I am so pumped for it (honestly I thought the family was supposed to come home on Thursday and … Continue reading Friday Favorites: murder shows and overly caffeinated new workouts
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.

Monday was the second day of driving back that started in a hilly, twisty portion of the Trans-Canada Highway in a snowstorm, then Tuesday began with an email inbox that began at 16 unread emails and slowly updated over 10 minutes to … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Short Week, Long Days
Even though I haven't lived in the USA since 2006 I still mark the start of the Christmas season by American Thanksgiving. I do not start listening to Christmas music, I do not watch holiday movies, I often don't even start my Christmas shopping before American Thanksgiving. But American Thanksgiving was this past Thursday and … Continue reading Christmas Movie Marathon
This morning is the first sunny day here in like 9 days and I am loving it so much. It's supposed to get grey and start raining again this afternoon, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Short weeks sometimes feel so much longer than normal 5-day work weeks because you have so much to … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
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's the most, wonderful time of the year - for popular movie lovers. Listen, other seasons have great movies and films, Christmas has great movies. There are amazing seasonless movies, but Halloween movies are a genre on another level. These are the most fun movies, even if you're a little scared or they're completely ridiculous, … Continue reading Halloween Movie Marathon
