personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I have been up north all week and I am so ready to get home. I'm tired, I miss my cat, my bed, and my Christmas decorations. I also broke both thumb nails this week and didn't bring any nail supplies and have just had to deal with them for the whole week. Which now … Continue reading Friday Favourites: Solo travel, serums, and in/out lists
I experienced my first below -40 day, I think ever, and now all I want to do is curl up under blankets with hot chocolates, teas, and coffees, bowls of soup or pasta and nest. I saw a meme or quote, I'm not sure which it would be, that said "all the other mammals hibernate … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Cozy Season
This is going to be a weird one, not following my normal format of Favorite Instagram, TV/Movie, Podcast, etc. because I haven't been consuming nearly as much digital media this week. I read 5 books, hung out with my family, threw up watching the new Spiderman movie (sorry to everyone in the 2:40 showing at … Continue reading Friday Favorites: A Week to Rest
This year feels like one of the longest years I have ever experienced (nearly as long as this blog post OMG). I saw a meme Tuesday that said that the Bernie mittens meme was only 11 months ago, and it feels like that's a lifetime ago, but also yesterday at the same time. I feel … Continue reading Best of 2021 – Media: Music, TV, Movies, Podcasts, Content Creators

Working in public health is getting really hard, I can't stop caring about encouraging people to get vaccinated, I can't stop patiently having conversations with people about masks and vaccines and physical distancing and mental health and coping methods and … Continue reading Friday Favorites

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 … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/12/2021

This week has been a whirlwind, it is the first week in ages that I cannot believe it is already Friday. It was nice to feel like I had a life again. Instagram Favourite: @venturetravelist : Regan Cleminson I started following Regan shortly pre-quarantine, but I also found her cycling and hunkering down and getting … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Reality TV, Ultra Repair Cream, and LL Bean Slippers
This week was a rollercoaster! Mostly in my personal energy levels, on Wednesday I was essentially useless during the day but in the evening. I got task after task after task done. So it's been a wild ride. I feel both behind and accomplished at the exact same time. Elsa Massey @SimplyElsa Elsa has become … Continue reading Friday Favourites:
Candles are the perfect end to a cleaning or self-care routine. There is no better feeling than having spent hours cleaning your kitchen, vacuuming, doing laundry, washing floors and then lighting a candle and curling up under a blanket in your nice clean apartment. I have been using candles a lot more frequently now that … Continue reading Autumn Cozy Candles
