The joy and the agony of the Internet is that there is endless sources of information for you to read with minimal effort. Being able to sit in the comfort of your own home, in your comfiest clothes (or in the nude, you do you!) and discover the secrets of the universe is a very… Continue reading Indecisiveness is Painful

How to Waste a Day
All teachers rejoiced, for it was a Snow Day yesterday. It was great fun, waking up at 5:00am, starting my morning properly with lots of coffee and blog readings, and checking the school website at 6:30 on the nose to see if the two feet of snow that had dropped had any impact on the… Continue reading How to Waste a Day
I’ve Got the February Blues
Ah February. A month that is jam-packed with activities and yet kind of unremarkable. The one big shining event this year is that it is my husband's 30th, which is giving us an excuse for a quick weekend getaway. Apart from that, February is always one of those odd transition months for me - the… Continue reading I’ve Got the February Blues
Fast Food as a First Job
I would have been fired for presentation like this. Way back in the day I woke up one morning and decided I wanted a job. I was 15 years old, and my father had told me that if I wanted money for the mall or other entertainment categories that I would have to earn it… Continue reading Fast Food as a First Job
Changing the Ol’ Financial Goals
There are so many choices - change it up as needed! Now that I have nearly reached the wise old age of 31, I can look back at some of my goals from my teens and twenties and have a good chuckle. In some cases I can even thank my past self for actions taken… Continue reading Changing the Ol’ Financial Goals
Breaking the Couch Routine
Not today, you temptress! Laziness comes easy to me. It feels so simple to lay out on the couch with a good book, or watching tv, or on my computer, that even the smallest suggestion for movement becomes massively difficult for me to acknowledge. As a kid and young adult my default lifestyle would be:… Continue reading Breaking the Couch Routine
One of the Cheapest Holidays Ever
Everyone has a different idea of what they would like to do for vacation. Personally, I believe there is very much a need for lying on the beach doing nothing - it’s a wonderful way to (carefully) soak up some rays and find some peace. However, I am the type to get very bored after… Continue reading One of the Cheapest Holidays Ever
Houseplants and Finances – Who Knew?
As I stared at the once-beautiful remains of my latest victim, I realized that I had accomplished something that many think is impossible. "I did it," I thought, "I actually killed a frigging cactus." Yes, after a year of slightly overwatering it, my beloved cactus slumped in on itself one day and that was that. I like to think that I killed… Continue reading Houseplants and Finances – Who Knew?
Squashing That Nasty Inner Voice
""Stop trying, it won't work." "What do you think you're doing?" "You can't do that because..." "Yeah, but..." Take that, evil voice! That's not me, but an accurate representation of this post. That little voice that you have inside you is a nasty piece of work. Imagine the most passive aggressive person you know and… Continue reading Squashing That Nasty Inner Voice
The Non-Existent Beauty Routine
As a young lady I was obsessed with makeup. This was before it became common knowledge (as far as I'm aware) to contour and highlight and whatever else it is that you are supposed to do. No, this was the time of neon eyeshadows and plucked eyebrows, lip gloss and very questionable shades of blush.… Continue reading The Non-Existent Beauty Routine
