Sorry I didn't upload yesterday's photo on time, I was getting slightly stressed with schoolwork and ended up being really tired before I usually get tired, so I opted to go to sleep instead of stay up and upload. :)

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day 3

dress: worn as a dress, pinned short // red dress: mom's closet // belt: target // cupcake socks: from a friend // shoes: thrifted



Today was such a lovely picture taking day! Besides hiding from the mail lady and bicyclists and worrying about stepping in moose poop and nearly freezing my fingers, it was a very enjoyable time. Sometimes I go outside with no ideas and no particular location (okay, that's like 99% of the time), and sometimes I just have a blast. There's just something about photography and being in nature that is so therapeutic and aaah! it's just awesome. But it started snowing ... come on Alaska! It's May. You're not really funny any more. Thankfully it was just a few flakes. Quit scaring me like that, Alaska.




Aah only six days left of school! I can do this ... most of my classes are winding down but there is still the dreaded AP English tests. I think I'm more worried about our final than the actual AP test. It's going to be an oral test, and it's so hard (apparently) because my teacher gave us all the questions ... eek! So scary, haha. I'm ready to get it over with. Only a couple more days!




Check out how awesome these shoes are! They're from the thrift store that I talked about a couple days ago (the one where you could apply to be a kitty cuddler) and they were only a dollar! I'm thinking about painting them, but I'm not sure what color/design I should do. You guys have any suggestions?







As always, I'm wearing this purple dress every day for a month to support the Batonga Foundation, which provides girls in Africa a full education, which benefits their entire life. So please please donate and spread the word! Every little bit of money is helpful.

I want YOU to donate to the Batonga Foundation!

Have a great day everyone!

Batonga 30 Day Dress Challenge: Day Two

shirt: thrifted // pullover: forever 21




The great thing about using a long dress for this challenge is that it's very versatile. Today I wore it as an asymmetrical skirt with some comfy shirts over it. Of course when it was sunny outside I had assumed it would be warm as well. Nope! I think it was about 45 degrees today. So cold! Haha after the warm weather we've been experiencing in the last frontier I've gotten soft skin. It's funny because when we had our first "warm" day it was only 50 degrees but I was practically sweating! That's just how the mind works, I suppose.




As always, this 30 day challenge is to raise money for the Batonga Foundation, an organization that gives girls in Africa a full education, which improves every area of their lives, be it their jobs, their family, and their health. It's an awesome organization and I encourage you to help me reach the goal of $500. Also at the end of the month, everyone who donated will be automatically entered into a giveaway. I'm not sure yet what that giveaway will include, but trust me, it will be spectacular.




Thank you so much, have an awesome day, and please spread the word and donate!

day 122

Today I launched my month long project to raise money for the Batonga Foundation, which supports girls in Africa by giving them a full education which in turn gives them a better life. It's an amazing cause and I am so excited to be raising money for them. I'm styling this dress every single day in the hopes that people will come alongside me and donate money to reach the goal of $500. It's a mighty feat, but with a team effort, it's easily possible. I am so thankful for any and all support, so every bit of money and advertisement is greatly appreciated.

I had been contemplating not posting my 365 project on Introvert's Introduction (for those of you who don't know, it's a year long photography journey where I take one photo a day for an entire year), but because I am practically obsessed with having all of my internet stuff in one place, I figured people wouldn't mind two (and maybe even three!) posts a day. The more the merrier!

Please keep the girls in Africa in your thoughts and prayers, as well as Batonga and the 30 day dress challenge. It's a big endeavor to raise $500 in one short month, but I am confident that together we can change the lives of many girls.
