A Lifestyle Blog
Wardrobe This year I really made a conscious effort to document my outfits in the Stylebook app. If you have no idea what I mean, check out this post. This app has really changed the way I approach my wardrobe and has really helped me use items in my wardrobe that were collecting dust for […]
Here we are, heading into the last 3 months of the year. The holiday season is when most people tend to spend the most of their annual income so its so important to start your holiday budget prepping now to get a head start. September was a pretty quiet month for my bank account (ha!). […]
One of the worst feelings is truly buyer’s remorse. It’s totally avoidable but difficult to escape especially in a day and age where social media and influencers litter our feeds with their haul videos and links. I constantly struggle with being mindful and intentional with my purchases. This is especially the case because I just […]
Here I am, unexpectedly writing the last post of my debt diary series. If you have been following my student loan journey for a while now, you will know that I started my lifestyle blog last year during the pandemic primarily to talk about my student loan journey. This blog quickly turned into a lifestyle […]
Here we are again, another month gone and here we are examining our pockets and figuring out where our coins went. If you’re new to my blog, I am a millennial female lawyer based in Toronto.

February is always an easy “low-spend” month because it is a shorter month. Unfortunately, this was not the case for me. My spending this month was significantly higher than last month (which was my no buy month). I had to get a few gifts this month which explains the increased expenses and I have already […]
Another month another spend report. This of course will be a no-buy month edition. If you read my previous post (re buying less and low-buys) then you already know that I am making a conscious choice to buy less this year mainly in the clothing category. Because of this, my spend reports may look a […]
Another milestone reached in my debt journey. As I am writing this the balance of my student loan has FINALLY dipped below my salary.
