September felt like a big use-up month. I think that is more because of the GoCleanCo fall challenge and cleaning out my bathroom (I didn’t include those items in here, I didn’t use them up, but I might do a round-up of what I’m getting rid of in that clean out to see if we…

What I read in September: Song of Achilles
I did not read a lot in September, I picked up so many different books trying to get into one, but I just did not want to read and couldn’t get into any of them. The only book I read was The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller. This is a book that is all…

Instagram Favourites: Christina Grasso @thepouf Christina is just an Italian girl from New York. She takes absolutely incredible photos.

Mid-Week Procrastination: WFH, #FreeBritney, and skin care
These are back, it only took a couple weeks, but I’ve decided I miss these in the middle of the week. I love these so much, a Wednesday pick-me-up, a booster to get through the week. Also, knowing I was doing this, I didn’t publish on Saturday, so we have a week and a half…

Wednesday Wants: Fall Accessories Edition
Last week was the first week in ages that I had to get dressed every day for a full week (even pre-pandemic I had been wearing exclusively for a few months and then on weekends for 2 years, and later in grad school it is what can I put on my body to cover it…

Fall Recipe Dreaming
There is something about cooking and baking as the weather cools (she says as it is 30C outside today) that is just so much more enjoyable and, I don’t know, romantic? than cooking in the summer. So I am super excited to start cooking for fall. ANTONI FROM QUEER EYE I’ve had Antoni from Queer…

Friday Favorites
This week has actually been an excellent week! We have been having a staff retreat at work and it’s in person! I have gotten to meet so many people, I’ve made friends! I’ve never thought of myself as an extrovert, but I am so energised (but also exhausted) by this past week and all the…
