September project complete

October 9, 2013

Last month for my daily project I chose to take a picture a day of something that was one basic color. It was fun looking for colors as I took my daily walks or while hanging around the house. I especially like how the collage turned out. It’s so full of texture and color and some nice neutrals too.

Last month I sort of touched on why it’s fun to have these monthly projects and the reason I gave was because it helps me to slow down and little and enjoy what’s around me and it makes me stop for a few moments of a day to be fully conscious of something (even if it’s a little silly).

This month I’ve decided to drink tea everyday. I chose this for a few reasons:

-it’s getting colder so drinking tea everyday sounds warming
-I have a crazy stash of tea and it should be used
-to make myself slow down a little at least once during the day
-maybe also because tea is good for me?

Anyhow whatever the reasons are that’s my October project and it’s super easy to join in-just drink tea everyday!

August project complete

September 10, 2013

Last months project was to do some sort of exercise each day of the month in the form of walking, workouts, biking, running, or any other physical activity. I did a good job of making sure to do something active each day but I had a harder time remembering to take a picture while doing it. But honestly it’s probably not that safe to take pictures while biking. Here is my months project in pictures:

Just to be sure I’m not letting the fact that August is over to get all lazy. We’ll be moving soon which will be a lot of lifting and heaving things around but once we’re in our new place I will have space to work out inside which I’m really excited about (especially since the rain will be coming soon).

Anyhow my project for this month is to take a picture of a different color every day. The whole picture needs to be the same color. I think this one will be a little more interesting to see at the end of the month as a large color collage. I’m looking forward to that. This might be the easiest yet to play along with and it’s super easy to catch up.

July project complete

August 6, 2013

I can’t believe it’s August already! These monthly projects seem to be flying by! It’s crazy! If you haven’t been following along I decided at the beginning of the year to pick a theme a month and document it in some way. For January I wore red lipstick every day. For February I styled my hair a different way every day. For the month of July I decided to take a picture of a stranger a day.

It was actually easier than I figured it would be. The iphone with the sound off can be pretty stealthy. Most of the pictures are strangers and a few were strangers until we introduced ourselves (friends from ALT). Anyhow here is a collage of all the stranger pictures.

For the last month of summer I decided I would do some sort of exercise each day. That includes, but is not limited to stomach exercises, work outs in the park, free yoga in the park, bike riding, long walks around the neighborhood. I figured it would be a healthy way of making sure I’m staying fit and enjoying what’s left of the summer weather. Woo!

Are you with me? What do you have planned for the last month of summer?
