For anyone that hasn’t heard of this brand, let me fill you in. LastObject is a company that makes reusable versions of single-use self car products such as cotton rounds and q-tips. It’s a Denmark company that tries to make their products … Continue reading LastObject: Honest Review
Hi world! Chris here. Keeping in theme with the hiking post last week, I decided to use this week to look at the two-part short story from Hemingway that focuses on a solo trip into nature for some personal healing. While I am personally not a huge fan of Hemingway as a writer nor as a person, I do enjoy that kind of outdoorsy mentality. … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: Diving Deep into Hemingway’s “Big Two-Hearted River”
Hi world! Chris here. I’m finally back and ready to entertain your time in quarantine by sharing my time in New York! I would have uploaded a normal post last week, but I got sick from this very trip (it wasn’t Corona as far as I know) and it made me lazy. I was also stressed as I’m sure everyone else is at this time … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: 1920s New York City
Hi world! Chris here. Sorry I didn’t upload last week, but I had a huge project for my editing class and I had no time to write anything. I had plans to make a post about the Pig Jig I went to with my campus ministry group, but it just wasn’t in the cards. However, I am back this week with another Redhead Review! This … Continue reading Redhead Reviews: All “The Weight” that God can Carry

Hi world! Chris here. This Saturday, I woke up at 6 am to drive 4 hours for the same small cow sale that I stop by every year. “It’s not the sale I go for,” I tell people, “it’s the Christmas shopping with my mom afterwards.” For years now, this has remained mostly true. But for this year, I went with a blog-based motivation as … Continue reading To Be A Good Farmer
Hi world! Chris here. Please excuse any emotional outbursts this post because it’s about something very near and dear to me and my whole family. No matter where we are in our lives or in the world, we’re all Dixie Classic devotees at heart. It’s a fair that’s more like a second home because of the people, the memories, and literally everything else about it. … Continue reading Fall is for the Fair
Hi world! Chris here. And I have a lot to share, so I’m just going to ignore the fact that this is a whole week late and go ahead and get started talking about my time in Texas. Now, if you’ve never been to El Paso, let me tell you a little something about it. It’s really beautiful, but in a different way than anything … Continue reading I Almost Died in El Paso, Texas
Hi world! Chris here. I know this post is coming a day late so sorry about that! However, I think I have a pretty good excuse considering I spent all of yesterday evacuating from Wilmington for Hurricane Dorian. I mean I technically could have stayed because my apartments weren’t evacuating, but after my campus canceled classes for the week, leaving felt like the right thing … Continue reading Before the Storm: Wrightsville Beach
