    project 365 : days 37 – 43

    by Kaylah Stroup February 13, 2017
    37 : 365 It’s just Professor chasing light, nothing new. He’s such a wild little thing.

    38 : 365 Silhouette of my second favorite plant. I was really nervous about where my big plants would fit in this apartment since I didn’t really have a good idea of the layout before moving in. Well, I really lucked out. The kitchen is spacious and has a big old window that this hefty cactus can sit in front of. It gets so much sunshine during the day.
    39 : 365 I’ve started collecting cards for my memo board because they’re way cheaper than prints, and they’re smaller so I can display so many more. This one from Moorea Seal is my newest addition to the wall.

    40 : 365 Instead of just hanging single frames in my office, I opted for photo ledge shelves so that I could change it up often and make cute little arrangements with my small knick knacks. Definitely the right choice for me.
     (sources- spine candle + diffuser <– smells amazing!)

    41 : 365 I am cackling over how dumb Klaus looks in this photo. This is a pre-yawn face.
    Another photo for the day. I bought this lip balm at TJ Maxx and it’s basically the weirdest thing ever. It starts off just like a normal lip balm then it starts to tingle really really intensely. I bought it because I thought it had a nice purpley-pink tint which it doesn’t (it’s just clear) but I still think it was a pretty fun purchase. Bonus points for being strong enough to transfer the tingly surprise when you kiss!
    42 : 365 Jeff and I took a quick weekend trip up to Rochester. I haven’t even begun to look through my photos but I definitely have some posts on it coming soon. For now, here is a close up of some colorful graffiti. I dig the combination of colors with the interesting surface textures here.

    43 : 365 I liked this little dude on the back of this abandoned building in Rochester.

    Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start. 
    xoxo

  • It’s the little things…

    by Kaylah Stroup February 8, 2017

    like taking hiiiiilarious photos of your cat.  You’re right, that totally is a “little things” post I did last year. It’s here + worth checking out if you need a smile. Professor is just the most expressive little guy out there.  I’ve met my fair share of really amazing cats but there is something special …
