Saturday Scroll: 11/13/21
Writing that date made me have one of those “I can’t believe it’s November!?!” moments! This is going up later in the day because my wifi was out all morning! This weekend also feels really off, I have no plans, which used to feel so normal. I’m not pet-sitting, and I don’t have any cleaning…

Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021
This has been an insanely busy, but also a really, really good week. The week started with a memo that Remembrance Day would be a stat holiday (a paid holiday), I went into the office twice, had a work day trip, and then we had a really pretty snowstorm on the stat holiday so there…

Friday Favorites: TIBAL, The Cut, Winter House, and Leggings

Winter Activities: Board Games Night

October Empties
When I picked up my empties box today I thought it must be packed full because it was so heavy. It was decently full, but I think that most of the weight came from the couple empty glass containers that were in it rather than a great abundance of used up product. I also have…

October in Review
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…

Saturday Scroll
Nylon did a Buffy week this week and I loved every second of it: The Big Bads Ranked, The Beauty Looks, The Couples (Willow and Oz should be higher), and the best musical moments. A list of witchy TV shows and movies to snuggle up with this Halloweekend. Round-up season is starting: Vogue’s list of…

Friday Favourites: Halloween and High School Nostalgia
I have done very little but work this week. I am dragging myself out of bed each day at the last possible moment to still be able to conduct some personal hygiene before I sit down at my desk. I have no clue why I am so exhausted and it makes me nervous about how…

Low-Waste Swaps I Want to Make
I am one the verge of running out of several things at close to the same time. And in my opinion, they are things that I think I can easily (although maybe not inexpensively) swap out for lower-waste/cleaner alternatives. The point I have come to with living lower waste and reducing my impact is that…
