The Project 333 experiment

Jul 11, 2019 | Life & Style

For the first time in AGES, I was going, not just ‘Out’ but, #Outout! These opportunities are rare for me and I was so excited but then… “Oh my goodness, what am I going to wear??????”. Cue stress, fluster, extra deodorant, all of my...

The journey so far…
