Trends are the worst
I can’t stop thinking about trendiness, “cheugy”, and classism. Like literally can’t stop, it’s like my new intrusive thought. It started innocently enough, I would scroll through reels or TikToks about what’s cheugy or trends from the nineties or noughties and think to myself, “Thanks mom for not letting us dress like that.”, which then…

Indigenous People’s Day
Today is National Indigenous People’s Day in Canada! Today is a celebration of the cultures, traditions, languages, and peoples that have lived on Turtle Island since time immemorial. It falls in June, Indigenous History Month, and I feel that this year’s Day falling on the Summer Solstice is probably particularly auspicious, as Indigenous people’s tell…

The Roommate Decision Making Game
I’ve been living alone in my two-bedroom apartment since I moved up here. I’ve been liking it a lot, however I am not loving how much the utilities are on my own. And we haven’t even gotten to winter yet and I am super nervous about the electric bill in the winter because I have…

Confident Bishes Unite!
So if you aren’t a Sweaty Bish that title and that phrase probably don’t make any sense at all, if you are a member of the SBC please say hi! Let’s be friends! So last year in May or June? I realized that the pandemic would not be over by summer and that I needed…

Mid-Week Procrastination
I have not been in the mood to write blog posts for the past, honestly couple months at this point; as you can probably tell by the amount of posts I wrote in April versus May and June. I don’t know what it is, except maybe the weather and not wanting to be inside? But…

Mid-Week Procrastination
So this is super late – oops, but I totally forgot that today was Wednesday and then I got a last minute appointment to have my summer tires put on and drove my car out there and then decided to walk back. The walk took two hours. It started raining. I got completely soaked. And…

May Empties
It’s that time again! Time to check in on what I used up in the month of May. This is part of me tracking what I use up for Project Pan, actually learn what I like versus what is trendy/ if I am being influenced by social media, and keep track of my plastic waste…

Obsessions: June 5
Y’all it is hot and sticky. It’s that kind of heat where you only want to eat popsicles and Free-Zees and not move. I’m also dealing with a serious flying beetle and ant situation in my apartment so if anyone has any tips, I’m going to buy some Raid when I go grocery shopping tomorrow,…

What I Read in May
May was a month of re-reading, nothing in my to-be-read pile was inspiring me or wanting to be read. There’s also something so comforting about reading a book that you are familiar with, revisiting a story you know the ending to. It’s probably something to similar to how people on the internet say that psychologists…
