YotS -- Week One

And so it begins.

I, Kailyn E, have begun a quest to become the master of the selfies.  To take a selfie every day for a year in order to better understand myself and frankly just to see how it goes.  I am a naturally inquisitive person.

Week one done.  I managed to take a variety of selfies, in mostly different places.  Surprisingly, I don't hate them all.  And I had a variety of facial expressions and types of photos.  It was very interesting.

January 26

Sunday I was at home celebrating my sister's birthday.  I had gone to church earlier that morning, and this was post Sunday-Church outfit/driving back to school outfit.  I took this picture a little while before I left for school.  I really like my eyes in this picture.  They just seem really pretty.

January 27

Today it was weirdly warm  I wore one of my favorite sweaters because it was comfy and I could get away with wearing only the sweater without a jacket.  I had thrown my rather frizzy hair in braids and headed out in a rush.  My last class of the day was canceled, which was awesome for me, so I decided to spend an hour or so outside enjoying the day.  I took this picture right before sitting down to read my book.  I love the way the sun is shining on my face, and my hair actually looks pretty cute!

SNOW DAY!  Ok, I live in the south, and we like never get any snow.  So any small amount of snow is amazing.  And this was our second snow of the year!  My roommate and I went out in the snow, and it seriously looked like God was showering glitter from the sky.  We braved the cold to build a snowman and to get some food a few streets away (don't worry, we walked). I love the smile in this picture, genuinely happy because SNOW!

January 29

Today the university was closed, so I didn't do a whole lot.  I went to lunch with a friend, and then another friend of mine decided to drag me out to a coffee shop in the area that's our favorite since we couldn't go to the library.  I almost forgot to take a picture, so snapped this one really quickly before bed.  I do like how my eyes look, and I love the goofy sort of face.  

January 30

Although my sister back home had classes canceled, I had to attend classes today.  I felt kind of cute today, with my ear warmer, and my hair was looking pretty good today as well.  I didn't feel so good, however, so I spent a big chunk of my day in my room.  I like how my hair looks, and I'm kind of a fan of my smile in this one.  

January 31

I had a pretty busy Friday.  Breakfast in the morning, classes, shopping all day, and then a dinner out with friends at night.  When I got back, I decided to take the infamous "mirror selfie" to try out something new.  It was deceptively hard.  I love this shirt, though, and the off-kilter view of the photo I think looks pretty flattering on me.  

February 1

Another busy day.  I learned how to adult (got my oil changed) went on an adventure (ate at a new restaurant) and watched a number of things on Netflix (I'm not proud of the number).  I had dressed pretty casually because I wanted to be comfortable most of the day.  I like the rosiness in my cheeks in this picture.  That's with no blush, people.  NO BLUSH.

I think my favorite selfie from the week was the one I took on Jan. 27.  It's rather simple, but I love the outdoor lighting and the beauty of God's creation the photo captures.  It also reminds me of the beautiful time I got to spend reading and relaxing outside, moments one learns to cherish in the middle of January!
