personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
January has been such a great month, 2023 seriously has a lot to live up to. It was so fun, I spent so much time with people I love, and got to do so many things and it was just a great time. I started off the New Year with a hot mat Pilates class … Continue reading January in Review
This New Year's/January trip to Toronto has become something of a pilgrimage for me now that I live up north. Toronto is one of my communities, I am lucky to have many, but Toronto is one of my favorites. I love this city, it has everything you could want to do in a city and … Continue reading Trip Report: Winter in Toronto
This year is hard to sum up, a lot of it felt stagnant, like I wasn't making a ton of progress on anything. But I also know that's not true, I know I met some goals this year. Or made good progress on them at any rate. 2021 Goals Reflections Travel Goals I did see … Continue reading 2022 Year in Review
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 did not think that there would be that much to share this week since it's only been 3 days since my last Saturday Scroll post and that's not a lot of time for new content, but it's actually a pretty solid line up this week. Including the usual whiplash as we move from Chinese … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 16

I mean I found December stressful during undergrad and grad school, but that was because of school and finals season, not because it was … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 12/10/22
November was not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to be, I really thought I had totally blown my budget. There was just so much unexpected work travel, and while I get reimbursed for it, it still ends up costing money in food and then you're tired the next day so you buy … Continue reading Financial Fitness Check-in: November 2022
I don't have any way to prove it, but I feel like I must have set a record for places visited in the Province of Ontario this month, and distance traveled while staying in the province. I went from Sioux Lookout to Kasabonika Lake, back to Sioux Lookout, to Wunnumin Lake back to Sioux Lookout, … Continue reading November in Review
I had every intention of writing this last night, but we didn't get back from our work trip until 9pm and it was such a long day that all I did when I got home was feed the cat, lie down on the couch for half an hour and go to bed. I do however … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 11/11/2022
September was a fantastic month, an absolutely insanely busy month but it was so fun and fulfilling and I really needed it. Also today is Truth and Reconciliation Day, if you live on settled land please take the time today to think about the loss and suffering that Indigenous Peoples endured for colonization to occur … Continue reading September in Review
