personal finance, waste reduction, skincare, single living, and needlepoint; hopefully travel at some point in post-unprecedented times
I hate February, I think it is officially my least favorite month. It is so dark and so cold and thank god it is short in days because it is long in feeling. I think it also especially sucked because I slipped and fell walking to my car from the office and broke my tailbone … Continue reading February in Review
I wrote this post last January, and I'm updating it for two reasons. Firstly, I was miserable last winter, late January into February (with a few weeks distracted by work) and then March and April I had the Big Sads. And secondly, my winter content is some of my best performing and most evergreen content. … Continue reading How I’m Romanticizing Winter Vol. 2
This may have been my busiest December ever. In university I always assumed that after uni December would be a nice relaxing month, because you wouldn't have exams anymore that you needed to be studying for on top of Christmas prep. That was an incorrect assumption. I was home for 6 days this month between … Continue reading December 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'm starting to feel like a real adult, because this is the first year that I have found December to be very overwhelming, stressful, and just going by way too quickly. 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
If you haven't seen the meme that says "adulthood is saying that life will slow down over and over until you die", that is exactly how I feel at the moment, just rollercoaster drop after rollercoaster drop until the end of time. High: I had a really, really great weekend. It was the perfect balance … Continue reading A Week-ish in Outfits
All I want right now is to be cozy and asleep. I have been so cold and tired constantly this week, and it's only just started to dip into the double digit negatives, so I don't know how I'm going to get through the rest of the winter. I need to get more blankets, more … Continue reading Friday Favorites: Winter non-essentials
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
We're nearly half-way through November now and it's been a great month so far. It feels really nice to be busy, as much as it is a bit overwhelming sometimes. It's also so far, been a cozy month, maybe it's because I was sick, but I've spent a decent amount of time cuddled up on … Continue reading November State of the Union
I'm so tired, I think it's winter setting in. It's hard to get out of bed in the morning because it is cold and dark. It's hard to be motivated to do stuff in the evening because it is cold and dark. I'm trying to work on being better at going to bed earlier and … Continue reading Mid-Week Procrastination: Vol. 14
