The April Edit
Rethinking my closet, a financial expansion workshop, digital wallpaper, and getting a tooth pulled.
The Monthly Edits are a casual curation of my consumptions from the past few weeks including: books I read, delicious eats, fun finds, and personal meanderings. Buon appetito!
This quote by William Shakespeare rings true for me and feels like the fresh spring flowers blooming outside my window. Although it’s been a mixed bag of events this month, there is an overall feeling that all is well.
I’ve been working to deepen my relationship with finances and was lucky enough to attended a great workshop put on by women I admire. I also started a long-term project to slowly replace the garments in my closet with more natural, sustainable, and lasting pieces. Then I had a wisdom tooth removed that ended up with complications leading to a gruelling recovery. Although I’m still tracking my daily salt-water rinses, the worst of my tooth pain is in the rearview mirror, allowing me to sail into May with the windows down and the feel-good tunes up.
Here’s how it all went…
I was invited to attend the Financial Expansion Workshop hosted by Rachel Saunders & Wealthkind earlier this month. Finances aren’t something I grew up talking about, or something I learned about in school (which makes no sense). It wasn’t until I got married that I had someone to openly talk about money with—and by that time I had already made lots of mistakes. The women at
encourage adding finances to your wellness practice (just like doing yoga or eating healthy) and I really connected to this holistic method. They shared ways to reframe your relationship to money and a badass spreadsheet for practical monthly tracking! A great resource if you’re looking for one.
Meals have been simple lately. This sesame-crusted salmon bowl was easy and delicious—same as this crispy fish with lemon butter spring veggies. We’ve been enjoying lots of fresh asparagus and spinach that’s been in season (even put it on our pizzas). The second half of the month was mostly smoothies, soups, and mashed potatoes for me. They say ice cream is good for tooth pain (wink, wink) so I picked up a tub from my local favourite: Parachute!
