One of my favorite makeup artists, Lisa Eldridge posted a new makeup video. It's simple, pretty and perfect for the girl who likes pink or looks good in cool tones. If you're more of a warmed tone beauty, you can change up the colors or choose warmer shades of pink. ...
It's summer and I've been working so much that I almost forgot. Thankfully my 10 year old son hasn't forgotten about it. He's been begging me to go to the beach and I finally found some time to do it. We went with my brother and his family for an all day fun day at the beach and had a blast. The water...

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." --- Calvin Coolidge 1872 ...
You are what you eat. Most of us think, well I don't eat that bad, so I'll be okay. That may not be the case. I live in Hawai'i where we eat all types of fish and seafood. Sometimes we eat it raw and sometimes it's cooked but seafood is a main staple in our diets here in Hawai'i. Since the tragedy in Japan last...
You know the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder"? I have found it to be true in many ways. One man's trash is another man's treasure. What is beautiful to one person may be considered strange or ugly to another. Many times, the most beautiful things come from something that is not quite so beautiful. It's like meeting a person...
A couple of weekends ago my son and I went hiking with my sister in law, her daughter, sister, mother and nephews. It was such a nice day and a wonderful experience. I've been trying to be more active and it was a nice excuse to take some photos. The water was blue and clear and so was the sky with the exception...
My dad is the hardest working, most generous person I know. He is someone I look up to so much for all he does and doesn't do. My dad is one of the few men I know who wouldn't do something unethical to make an extra buck. He's honest and fair down the board. He's always been there for my brother and I...
The weather today is humid and hot. At some points the sun is warm and hot on my skin and then a cloud will roll in and create a nice shade over everything. The sky is the most beautiful shade of blue. I wish I could go and enjoy it but I'm stuck in the office. Happy Friday everyone!! ...

This throwback Thursday I'm sharing photos of my grandparents. My dad's parents Jean and Peter (I'm named for Jean) both died long before I was born. My mom's dad Henry died long before I was born and my mom's mother Endoline was the only grandparent I got to know. She died a few years ago and I still miss her. My grandma...
Old dead wood from a rosemary bush. See the moon in the distance on the right? Almost over my sinusitis. YUCK!!! So dizzy and sick but the worst is over!! Can't wait to get back to blogging. :) ...
