And the Eye's Have It Part 1

My current beauty obsession, if you can't already tell, is all about fake eyelashes. They aren't something I can ever imagine myself putting on frequently but they're just so fun and pretty! I think I'm going to try  experimenting with them all just for fun and post the results on here. If anyone has any favorite brands that they'd like to recommend, please feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments!

Welcome to Europe

When you see this photo you may wonder why I took it. It's not a particularly great photo, but let me set the scene for you. It was a baking hot and beautiful day in Bournemouth and we were starving. We headed over to a beach side cafe to grab a bite to eat. We sat out on the patio to continue enjoying the fabulous weather and as you can imagine, the beach was absolutely heaving with people. All of a sudden this train comes by randomly tooting it's horn and I thought it'd be a great little memory and tried to snap a shot with my cell phone. All of a sudden, this fellow comes lumbering, in his shirtless wonder, straight into my shot. The reason I remark on it, is not because I'm at a beach setting and I'm seeing a guy without his shirt on. It's because this phenomenon doesn't stay contained to the beach areas. There are men that seem to just randomly wander the streets shirtless, no matter what part of the area you're in. There are naked kids running around the beaches and teenage boys changing from their swim suits into regular clothes, where they stand, on the beach.  In fact, this poor unwitting guy in my photo is dressed rather conservatively considering there are some men, in mankinis. It's nothing horrific but for this stereotypical American, it does take a little getting used to. How are you enjoying your summer so far?

Ciao!

Happily Ever After

Bournemouth Registry Office

At the end, they get to sit and sign the registry (Don't they look cute?!)

Bournemouth park where everyone congregated to get more photos of the bride and groom

This weekend, my brother-in-law got married to a beautiful and sweet woman. It was so much fun to get to see everyone and be a part of it all. 

May green be the grass you walk on,

May blue be the skies above you,

May pure be the joys that surround you,

May true be the hearts that love you.

An Irish Blessing

Shiny!

Who comes up with this stuff?! 24K Gold pomade for your hair? It's artistic and makes me go "ooooohhh, aaaahhh" when I see it but holy cow. It does make me smack my forehead just the tiniest bit. I'd love to know who actually wears or uses this stuff that doesn't walk down a cat walk.
