    project 365 : days 219 – 224

    by Kaylah Stroup August 14, 2017

    219 : 365 I bet people who don’t constantly rearrange things have so much time on their hands. Only half joking here because, wow, I spend a lot of time scooting furniture and plants around. I really love those plants by the bookshelf! I’m sure in another month I’ll find an even better place for them though. …Because that’s just how it goes.

    220 : 365 16.5 miles around the city. Not too shabby for a week night, eh?

    221 : 365 Things on and near my desk. (teeth can be found here)

    222 : 365 These planters and rainbows are some of my favorite things in my living room.

    223 : 365 Pineapple shoes! Perfect to add a little flair to any outfit! (These exact ones are no longer available but I found a similar pair!)

    224 : 365 Jeff and I found a record number of geocaches on Saturday! 18! Wooo! I honestly cannot stop thinking of geocaching. You know when you play a video game for too long and then when you close your eyes its what you see? Well, basically that is happening to me. The last few nights when I lay down and close my eyes before falling asleep I’m picturing walking around with my phone out shouting to Jeff how many feet it says I am away from the cache.

    Other than geocaching, we also went to estate sales on Saturday! I haven’t been to one in far too long. I couldn’t resist this one though, promising tons of taxidermy. Despite getting there right as the doors opened, I watched a bunch of old men grab everything I wanted. Oh well. I did come home with a set of mounted horns and this very creepy porcelain baby. At first I just thought he’d look neat on a shelf in my living room but now I honestly want a whole collection of them.

    Hope your week is off to an excellent start!
    xoxo

  • five products to help combat facial redness

    by Kaylah Stroup August 10, 2017

    For as long as I can remember I’ve had a red face. Maybe not all the time but one that reddens very easily. My skin is super sensitive. I blush at the drop of a dime, physical activity definitely equals very rosy cheeks, and after washing my face for the night? Its bright red. It’s …
