personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
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 experienced my first below -40 day, I think ever, and now all I want to do is curl up under blankets with hot chocolates, teas, and coffees, bowls of soup or pasta and nest. I saw a meme or quote, I'm not sure which it would be, that said "all the other mammals hibernate … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Cozy Season
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
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
It's so funny how much difference a week can make in your mood, or even a day, I was nearly skipping home from the gym. It is great (although I am currently sobbing watching The Princess Diaries), so take from that what you will. And Happy New Taylor Swift day to all who observe. Social … Continue reading Friday Favorites: 10/21/22
LOL so remember yesterday when I said that I had the whole weekend off? No work, no pet sitting? I got my dates wrong, my pet sitting family isn't coming back until today, or tomorrow. Thank god it's beating down sunshine as I write this or I would be slipping into misery. I am so … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
I have joined the wordle crew. I am so exhausted. I'm pet sitting this weekend, but I fully plan on spending most of the weekend napping with the pup when he doesn't need walks or to go outside. I really wish I was in my own home, because I never sleep as well when I'm … Continue reading Saturday Scroll 03/05/2022
Firstly and most importantly: A Ukraine explainer, the historical context and what's happening now; and how to help and more options. Now, I write this blog to be an escape, from unemployment and living with my parents (how it started), to being a rapidly burning out public health worker in a pandemic. This blog provides … Continue reading Saturday Scroll
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
Hi everyone! I hope you had a great week! I am currently watching Don't Look Up on Netflix as I write this and I really don't know how I feel about it. It's maybe too close to home with everything that is going on right now. I do think that is the point, but it's … Continue reading Saturday Scroll: 02/04/22
