November Spending Plan: When Expected Expenses are More Expensive than Expected
In an effort to hold myself even more accountable with my personal finances I want to start logging them on here, both spending plans or a monthly budget at the beginning of the month and a check-in at the end of the month. Last month was one of the first net positive months I have…

Winter Activities: Board Games Night
I am starting to plan a board games night for my new friends next week, but my board game stash is a bit thin. Pre-pandemic I was trying to thrift them, but then the pandemic happened and all the thrift stores closed and I wasn’t having anyone over to play board games with so it…

October Empties
When I picked up my empties box today I thought it must be packed full because it was so heavy. It was decently full, but I think that most of the weight came from the couple empty glass containers that were in it rather than a great abundance of used up product. I also have…

October in Review
October was a surprisingly great month. I am really starting to feel settled here and like I am building a community here. It was a really good feeling to have social plans again. It just felt good to be around people outside of work. I have been saying for months that I was going to…

Saturday Scroll
Nylon did a Buffy week this week and I loved every second of it: The Big Bads Ranked, The Beauty Looks, The Couples (Willow and Oz should be higher), and the best musical moments. A list of witchy TV shows and movies to snuggle up with this Halloweekend. Round-up season is starting: Vogue’s list of…

Friday Favourites: Halloween and High School Nostalgia

Low-Waste Swaps I Want to Make
I am one the verge of running out of several things at close to the same time. And in my opinion, they are things that I think I can easily (although maybe not inexpensively) swap out for lower-waste/cleaner alternatives. The point I have come to with living lower waste and reducing my impact is that…

Saturday Scroll 10/23
Honestly, the media this week is pretty lackluster, there aren’t a lot of good pieces this week. But: Penn Badgley also thinks Dan Humphrey is the worst. Joe Coulombe aka Trader Joe wrote a memoir, that sounds incredibly interesting from this synopsis, and I’ve only been to Trader Joe’s once! I really wanted to go…

Friday Favorites: Reality TV, Ultra Repair Cream, and LL Bean Slippers
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…

Waste Reduction Week: Things I no longer buy living low waste
Happy Waste Reduction Week fellow Canadians! I’ve been enjoying a bunch of random YouTube videos lately, including in the “things I no longer…” vein, and while I’m definitely not going to be starting a YouTube channel anytime soon (but I’ll never say never!) I’m loving a lot of these trends and want to write blog…
