personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
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 … Continue reading What I Read in May
I've been working out at home (like everyone else, of course), for about a year now (I did not work out in March or April 2020, at all). Then I realized that this pandemic wasn't going to be a three month thing like I thought at the beginning and that I needed to figure something … Continue reading Home Workout Upgrading
I've noticed myself doing something the past few weekends that has been really working for me, in my head I've been calling it "gentle productivity". Meena Harris has those tweets that went viral: https://twitter.com/meenaharris/status/1376266342580412416?lang=en https://twitter.com/meenaharris/status/1388636824021524480 And I know I don't have kids or dogs or even a partner to have to do things with and … Continue reading Gentle Productivity is my New Weekend Routine and it’s Adding so Much Ease to my Life

And … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination
Well Ontario. We're nearly a week in to Quarantine/Lock-down/Stay-at-home/Flatten the curve number 4 here. And given that this is probably the worst wave that we have seen yet that when this stay-at-home order expires it will not be releasing us straight into normal pre-COVID life. So I need some things to do. In the past … Continue reading Quarantine Round 4 Activities
This was a big month! I made posting here a priority, got a new job, moved across the province, quarantined and then got out of quarantine (getting out of quarantine is one of the best moments). I baked this pretty cake. I'm really wanting to master some of my family's traditional recipes. I don't know … Continue reading March in Review
