Saturday Self Portrait

sp

Unfiltered photo once-a-week challenge.

Big gulp.

——

I was dared to write a blog every day for a year. I barely knew how to turn on a computer back then. It has been 18 years.

Then, a friend challenged me not to wear black. Considering most of my clothes were black… I discovered vintage, second-hand clothing stores—

A few months ago, my children discussed the health benefits of cold showers. Sacha jumps in the lake each morning in Seattle. Chelsea takes cold showers. 

I started using only cold water in June. This should be on another level in January. It isn't as difficult as I thought,

but winter might have me back taking warm baths.

Why? For the fun of a challenge. 

I will keep the serious ones to myself until I master them.

    Well done you! Nice photo and grrrrreat idea about the cold showers, but do have warm ones when the weather is cold, just find a large fountain to plunge in to once in a while to keep up the cold theme! I don’t have any qualms about wearing black a lot, as I accessorise with colour, but I also have some other options and will try and be more adventurous with colour, thanks for the prompt!

  2. Hugs and much love and thanks for all you share
    Love Jeanne

  3. I admire you accepting the challenge to try something new. Something I have been thinking about for a long time for you is – updating the frames of your glasses. Try it! They can really change your look!

  4. You are so beautiful!

  5. No black and cold showers, wow!!
    What challenges!! Not sure I could challenge myself on either of those things; though I don’t wear as much black as I did when I worked in the world of apparel.
    Beautiful photo of you!

  6. Corey you look elegant and comfortable in your own skin. I don’t know if I can do the cold shower thing.

  7. I will never do the cold shower or plunge thing; I like to be comfortable and I don’t care what the health claims are. Heaven knows there are enough times in life when the body is not comfortable without adding to them by choice! LOL I don’t sauna either. Signed, Goldilocks
