Someday I'll wish upon a star and wake up where the clouds are far behind me....Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops. That's where you'll find me. Somewhere over the rainbow - Edgar Yipsel Harburg

Turtle Beach Kona, HI

We got to spend a little time at Turtle Beach down by the marina in Kona, HI while there for Ironman.  The turtles were huge and everywhere.  I may or may not have accidently touched one.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful




I completely went to the wrong school growing up.  Horse riding every day - sign me up (I'm way too old but who cares)!  I will soon post pics from Kona, HI trip!

Beauty Questions and Weirdness

MAKEUP
Blush or bronzer? Bronzer.  I like blush but I wear bronzer more and I like the fact that you can sculpt with bronzer.
Lip gloss or lipstick? By a landslide it would be lipstick.  Lip gloss always feels to heavy/sticky to me. 
Eye liner or mascara? Mascara for sure.  I love eyeliner but I don't hardly wear it.
Foundation or concealer? Foundation.  I don't remember the last time I really needed concealer....
Neutral or color eye shadow? Neutrals.  Color eye shadows are fun but neutrals are more appropriate for everyday
Pressed or loose eye shadows? Pressed! Easy to apply and no fallout!  Winning!
Brushes or sponges? That's hard.  I like both.  I love brushes for everyday use but I also like my cheapo sponges I can toss after using.  I guess brushes.
 
NAILS
Long or short? Short since there is no medium choice.  Long nails don't last long on me and I'm scarred of the whole could stab you to death nail look!

Taste The Rainbow....Or At Least Touch It

If I didn't work in a straight-laced professional environment I'd like to have colorful hair again.  These happy, colorful tresses are drool worthy...
