Do you know that quiet, still moment after the sun has set and yet the world is still full of a glimmering light? Here is that moment, by a lake with autumn leaves fallen like petals into the water.

If you haven’t already seen Andres Amador arts circulating the internets, allow me to be the first – he creates beautiful patterns and images on sandy beaches during low tide, on a massive scale, and the results are so lovely. These images were all taken off his facebook page which has tons more, worth going through. It looks like he will also do projects and commissions for engagements, weddings, charity – now that would be a unique group activity. When asked why he makes these works, he stated simply because it was fun, and that he got to be at…

For Christmas my sister got me these two little delights. The Sinful Colors is basic magenta-red creme/jelly almost, pretty thin. I did only use one coat, though. The sparkle is Orly ‘Too Fab’ and I still love the mix of big and small gold hex glitter. I think I do like it better over lighter colors and applied with a gentle hand, though.

Or we did anyway, I believe it might have become a little kid’s dessert the one night last week he ate all of his vegetables quickly.

I love hiking through the woods, even when it’s cold. Here we have a lot of pine forests and uneven land, which makes for interesting, winding hikes even in the woods behind our house.

They use it to lower stress levels and even fight cancer… so I guess the things we instinctively love probably all have a deeply roots in making our lives more complete.

When we visited Pisa in Italy we made it just in time for an on and off rainstorm. We had to take shelter in a cute little cafe, but we were able to walk around the buildings for a little while first and get some great shots of the stormy sky.

Sometimes during the spring and summer I get the urge to wear some less traditional polishes. It brightens up the dreary days, and reminds me of Easter Eggs too. I think I came across this color and just had to have it, and then realized it was a perfect duplicate of Tiffany blue. This was great, because at the time I also had a purse in almost the same shade too! The color is called ‘For Audrey’ – meaning Hepburn, referencing the movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which is a classic she starred in. These were taken a while ago, and…
