IT'S SO MUCH BETTER!https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6295.jpgIMG_6295AFTERhttps://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6294.jpgIMG_6294This is my second little closet. It's right off of the kitchen and it where I've been hanging my clothes to dry. I have this cool stick that I connect the hangers to so I can reach up high to hang them! It's so handy!https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6293.jpgIMG_6293This is my laundry room. There's no need for the before picture because it looks the exact same only it didn't have my stuff in here. Thats my little washing machine. Question: does anyone know how this thing catches lint like our dryers at home?? Because it does and I just don't understand how it works... Also, the other day I almost ruined clothes because I bought bleach instead of detergent because they looked the exact same and the labels are in Chinese.https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6292.jpgIMG_6292AFTER: The school bought me a new microwave and kettle because my kettle was molded and my microwave was rusted through and they said it could shock you or something.. I'm not sure, but I'm thankful for my new things and my little corner of snacks!https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6291.jpgIMG_6291AFTER: More wall stickers, a cross, and a bit of a mess where I've been working on my schedule for next week.https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6290.jpgIMG_6290Panoramic of my living room/dining room area.https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6289.jpgIMG_6289Bedside motivators: Time.

Notice the bean sprout on top of her head? Haha these sprout hair clips are SUPER popular in China right now. All the girls have sprouts and swirls and weird things coming straight out of their heads... hence, why I decided to get a flag hair clip. #wheninchinahttps://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6189.jpgIMG_6189https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/img_6429.jpgIMG_64292016-03-23T05:27:18+00:00monthlyhttps://embracethisplace.com/2016/02/28/embrace-this-place-even-when-its-not-flattering/https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_93982.jpgVersion 2https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_93981.jpgIMG_9398https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/img_9398.jpgIMG_93982018-10-17T16:47:06+00:00monthlyhttps://embracethisplace.com/2015/07/14/embrace-differences/https://embracethisplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/sam_0628.jpgSAM_06282015-07-14T14:39:55+00:00monthlyhttps://embracethisplace.com/2015/06/21/embrace-boldness/2015-06-26T19:43:07+00:00monthlyhttps://embracethisplace.comdaily1.02020-05-05T23:15:26+00:00
