Happy #thinkingoutloud Thursday! No idea what I’m going on about? Click here!
1. I can’t put my left shoe on first. I mean, I can, but it feels really strange and I actually have to consciously make an effort to do it otherwise I’ll just automatically go for the right shoe first. Then taking them off is the opposite – the left always goes first, and even thinking about doing it the other way around feels all sorts of strange. Don’t ask me why I notice these things. Am I the only one, though? Like… anyone else have a shoe order? And a pant leg order? Because don’t even ask me to put my left pant leg on first. I’ll topple right over.
2. I don’t know if she knows that I can still see her, but she’s about as stealthy as an armchair…
3. She makes a perfect walking buddy, though, and I’ve definitely been using her as an excuse to get out more. Because #fall. And #leaves. And #sweaterweather. But seriously… I feel like I spend way more time outside in the fall than I do in the summer, because it’s not as hot, and it smells better, and the leaves make a crunching noise, and I can wear huge sweaters, and… basically all the reasons. It’s just my favourite time of the year. Well, besides Christmas.
4. I actually stopped by a playground on one of my excursions to swing on the swings (because #13goingon30), and… they’ve changed a lot since I was little. Sand got replaced by wood chips or rubber, the stuff you climb on is made from plastic instead of wood, and things are just so pretty and colourful. I feel old. Especially because swinging on the swings actually made me start to feel sick 😆
5. Thank goodness for the healing properties of cookies. And yes, I’m still completely smitten by these ones…
6. So remember how I mentioned a few months back that I was using oil of oregano on my face? I’ve been doing it daily for about 4 months now, and I figured it was time to update you guys with some results… even though I realize I probably should have taken some pictures. But I’ll do that next time. Anyways! You guys… my skin is literally the best that I ever remember it being. It’s so much clearer and even-toned, way less oily, and I don’t feel like I have a bunch of build up in my pores all the time. I gave up on all the cleansers, all the masks, all the fancy creams, and I pretty much only use a few drops of oil of oregano at night followed up by some aloe vera, and then just aloe in the morning (without washing my face). That’s it. Super simple. Super effective. The only downside is that oregano doesn’t exactly smell the best, and it occasionally makes my face a little red when I put it on at night. But outside of that? Seriously a miracle worker.
7. And that’s it for me, friendly faces! I hope you’re having an awesome Thursday. I’ll see you soon 🙂

Oh my god, I had never thought about my order of legs-in-pants until now hahaha! I’m the opposite – I’m all about the left leg first. I don’t know how I would go swapping it around 😛

Today I had a weird epiphany about how….if I ever had athlete’s foot, I would be terrible about keeping it contained because after I swim I put the sock back on a different foot. I do this all of the time for both particular reason.
So jealous of your fall! Record breaking heat here today!
Abbie
I feel you on the playground thing!! Like I used to be able to swing for an hour nonstop when I was a kid but now I can’t even come close to that. Partly bc I’m tired but sometimes it makes me a bit sick too. Ugh growing up sucks. 😑
I’m very intrigued by the oregano oil thing! Definitely wouldn’t mind a whole post on your skin routine. 😜 My skin, which has always been fairly clear has started acting up and I have no idea why. But I’m used to these natural/unconventional methods bc of my upbringing so I’m very interested!!

I love dogs. I mean I love my cats, but dogs just have these hilarious weird quirks

I always put the right on first – socks, shoes, pant and sleeves.
Katie
I’m so grateful for the healing power of cookies too and those look SO good!
Cora
Who okay I’m super intrigued by your oregano oil discovery. I’d love to know a bit more about this… maybe you could do another post? Do you not use any face wash at all? How do you take off makeup? Is it just a few drops rubbed into the skin?
Catherine @ A Cup of Catherine
Haha, I’m the opposite. I generally put my left shoe on first.
I need to try oregano oil! My skin has been crazy lately.
Nicole @ Laughing My Abs Off
Woah, i love how simple your skincare routine is now! Do you think you could write a post on more specific instructions for taking care of your skin? Like how to use the oregano oil and aloe exactly? Thank you! <3
Marcea
I would love to know more specifics too. Do you mix it with oil carrier like Olive oil or just put it on straight oregano oil on the cotton ball and onto face? Thanks!!
Jess @ Jessica Cording Nutrition
Oh my gosh—I never thought about which shoe I put on first!
Julie @ Running in a Skirt
Oregano oil huh??? I’ve got to try that.
Have a great week!
Carrie this fit chick
Wow never thought about it, but I always put my left shoe and pant in first, hah! Those shoes are SO cute. Loving that color!
Patricia @Sweet and Strong
OMG I’ve never thought about if I have a shoe order or a pant order, now I’m curious lol.
