personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
This was one of the busiest and funnest weeks I've had in a while (and yes, I know "more fun" is grammatically correct, but not as fun as saying funnest). Last Saturday I went to the next town over to run errands, and the girl in Starbucks told me I looked like a Disney Princess. … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 17
Oh May, I am so torn on how to plan this. There are so many things that I would like to purchase before my trip, for the upcoming weddings, for my spring wardrobe that I cannot figure out how to plan it out and so we will be working this out together throughout this post. … Continue reading What I’m Buying in May
I cleaned out my closet a couple weekends ago, over Easter weekend, and as I was doing so I noticed what terrible condition my socks, knickers, and pyjamas were. A lot of my normal stuff is in pretty rough condition, activewear, sneakers, vacuum, sheets, cookware, suitcases, etc. I have a long list of stuff I … Continue reading Pyjamas Round Up
What I did// This week was all about work and rest. We were doing this intense, I don't know, they are calling it a retreat, but it is wayy too intense for that. There is nothing relaxing or rejuvenating about it. It has been rough - between the back pain and the subject matter it's … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 7
I love wish lists, I think they are a great way to guide your shopping. It's not a budget (especially because normally our wish list items tend to be bit more expensive than what we may actually buy), but I find that they help keep your planned purchases and resist impulse shopping. Of course I … Continue reading 2023 Wish List
What I Did This Week// This week was all work and routines focused. On Monday, I had to get up at 6am for work, like that was the absolute latest minute I could get out of bed. But then for the rest of the week a little voice in my head said "What if we … Continue reading The Friday Edit: Vol. 3
It is so interesting to make this post this month, because despite it being December, famously one of the spendiest months of the year. I'm not planning on buying that much? Of course, I didn't put the Christmas presents I'm buying in the collage (I know my sister sometimes reads this, I don't think anyone … Continue reading What I’m Buying in December
I'm not planning on buying much in November, not a no-buy but just really scaling it back. I also want to really refocus on saving. I want to have enough savings to be able to apply for jobs all over and not be worried about how much it costs to move there, I want to … Continue reading What I’m Buying in November
I am so excited for this weekend, I need to sleep and not talk to anyone. My voice is gone. I don't know why, but every time I get sick I lose my voice. In high school, I used to keep a whiteboard in my locker to carry with me. Also, no one talks about … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 11/05/22
The one thing about writing these posts basically mid-month is that I've already bought nearly everything on this list and now I need to stop shopping, especially since I accidentally ordered the wrong item because I'm an idiot who doesn't pay attention and only noticed after it shipped and now I can't change it. Anyways: … Continue reading What I’m Buying in October
