ONE DAY WITHOUT SHOES: recap & pictures

yesterday was TOMS One Day Without Shoes!

it was definitely a worthwhile experience... that's for sure.

I walked to my old high school (which I no longer go to because I'm in Middle College) with my youth group and spent the day there.

7am, 50º outside...

we walked 3.5 miles to school

and made it! but don't let the smiles fool you.... our feet hurt...

Let me tell ya, we got a lot of questions as to why we were barefoot

and the school administration did not like that we were.

Suspension threats were flying everywhere!

YES... they were going to suspend us for not wearing shoes.

They didn't even care to know what the cause was

Even I got suspension threats and I didn't even go to that school! absurd.

As of now, its the morning later and I'm definitely suffering the consequences from 

going a full day barefoot. My feet have blisters, my knees hurt, parts of my feet are 

totally raw from rubbing against the pavement.... I could go on.

but long story short:

I will never take shoes for granted ever again.


XO.
p.s. this song came to mind yesterday :)

SO MUCH TRUTH.

story of my life.

you don't EVEN know.

XO.

heavy metal in baghdad.

this past week, I was flipping through Newsweek magazine and found myself in the back of the magazine (the Arts section, duh...) reading an article titled "Iraq 'n' Roll." The article was following up on the band Acrassicauda, the only Iraqi Metal band. When I read that a documentary had been filmed about them called "Heavy Metal in Baghdad," I had to look into it. I've always been a Metal fan, not a huge listener, but I definitely have a lot of respect for the genre... and let me tell you, this movie totally changed my perspective. 

So if you are a music fan, I highly suggest it. You can even watch it on YouTube! 

you hear that? you can watch it for FREE!

DO IT.

XO.

happy easter!

XO.

banksy's a beast.

BUT over those three days, i got my hair done! much needed.

XO.
