personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
It feels a bit, meaningless? nihilistic? absurd? to do something like write a blog post about your social media favourites and favourite TV when Russia has invaded Ukraine thanks to one old white man's romanticization of the past and a desire for a return to the age of empires. But if I learned anything during … Continue reading Friday Favorites: news overwhelm and favourite jeans
I don't know if other people have already had this feeling this year, I feel like I am finally emerging from the pandemic. Trust me, I know it's not actually over, my entire professional life is dominated by it (although I did have a few hours break this week to make an info sheet on … Continue reading Friday Favourites
Happy Friday everyone! I'm so excited for today because I am getting paid for a pet sitting job AND my real job. I'm spending over half that money on winter tires, but you know, it will feel good for an hour. Instagram Favourites: T.I.B.A.L aka @things.i.bought.and.liked TIBAL is the ultimate anonymous influencer.

I love podcasts, they are my favourite thing to listen to while I work, walk, grocery shop, clean, everything. Because I listen to them so much, I have listened to a lot of different shows.

I am kind of sad that is already way too cold to go to the beach up here but it … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: September 4
I'm down in Thunder Bay for the weekend and it's fully hitting me how much I miss city life. Walking every where, working in coffee shops, getting take out and walking down to the water to eat, BOOKSTORES, actually being able to get everything on your shopping list. I'm not hating living in Sioux Lookout, … Continue reading Obsessions: July 24
The blog has been quiet this week, I have been a content beast at work and I am basically cross-eyed and seeing double by the end of the day and it is basically impossible to look at a computer screen after work. It's the cobbler's kids don't have shoes and the vet's pets aren't vaccinated … Continue reading Obsessions: May 1
Whew y'all. It has been a week. If you read my last Obsessions post (my most recent post, I'm sorry a week is too long!) I mentioned that we were on the road to Thunder Bay from the Ottawa Valley. I got a job up in Northwestern Ontario, about 4 hours north of Thunder Bay! … Continue reading Obsessions: March 20th
I feel like we don't have a lot to hold on to anymore. We have lost so many of our favourite things: eating in restaurants, hanging out with friends, dating, celebrating life's milestones, travel, seeing family, parts of our everyday life from school and extracurriculars to seeing our co-workers. Our lives have become what we … Continue reading Obsessions: February 20, 2021
