5 Hidden Expenses To Include In Your Budget

Covid-19 has played a HUGE role in mine and my husbands financial situation. I’m sure many of you reading this can relate. The cost of everything has gone up and some have gone up quite significantly. Though I was definitely taught to have a savings account, I wasn’t taught how to save when there’s no money left over. As a young adult, and a young mom, that was something I always found quite frustrating to be honest. When the experts, and authorities preach to SAVE, but no one tells you how to manage life, pay your bills, be left over with 0$ and STILL somehow save. Guess what babes? Today, I’m going to tell you how. The first thing you need to do is actually create your budget. I won’t get into too much detail about this, but I did write a post about it a while back that could…

It’s fairly well known that April 20, (4/20) is a holiday for cannabis culture. April 20, commonly known as 4/20 is a day for people to gather together to celebrate and consume cannabis. There are usually many events world wide (I say usually, because of covid-19). Many events are simply celebrating the liberation of cannabis, while others are advocating for the legalization of it. On that day, many users protest civil disobedience, gathering in public to light up at 4:20 pm. On October 17, 2018, non medical cannabis was legalized in Canada. I was at the dispensary the very same day. (I shared more about my journey with cannabis in a previous post. A Few…

9 Online Games I’m Loving

Over a year into the pandemic, I am LOVING online games! Before the pandemic, I actually never played games online. But now, I can honestly say I love them! So fun and entertaining! Today I’m sharing 9 games I love, how you play, and what I love about them. Neon Snake This game definitely takes me back to childhood!! The classic snake game. Using your arrows on your keyboard, you guide the snake around, collecting coins, being careful not to eat your tail! (Your snake grows as you collect the coins.) I really enjoyed this game as a child, and now even as an adult! I made it to 64 as a score. See if you can beat me! (I’m guessing you definitely can.) Also, the little snake character is super cute.

5 Things I’m Doing To Stay Positive

We’re a year into the pandemic and, sadly, I don’t think we are out of the hard stuff yet. With about 131.1 million Covid-19 cases in 219 countries, it’s hard to think that we might be out of the woods. My mental health plummeted during this past year. Being inside, and not able to socialize or see people was tough. Everything has changed, and frankly I’m not even sure I’m convinced that it will go back to “normal.” I think we may have to slowly redefine what “normal” is. Having struggled for the past year to remain stable, today I thought I’d share what I’m doing to stay positive. Especially when the world is experiencing such strange times. So here are 5 things I’m doing to stay positive right now. I am using affirmations, and if you’re not, you need to now. Affirmations are statements that you declare to be…
