Anonymous Friend Makeup Application

I have a penchant for faces.  If I have known you long enough, sooner or later, I'll be begging you to let me paint your face!  Decorate, embellish it!  Once in a while my friends will allow me to!  ...they always enjoy the results  :)

For this post, I will focus on Anonymous Friend's eyes and brows.  (Her face is also beautiful, but I couldn't get permission for that :)

  • duo Duo Water Proof Eyelash Adhesive, Dark Tone

 

  • Tweezers ~ use to apply to lash line (not on eyelid)  I had a much better tool to apply false eyelashes, but have lost it!  I found it online about six years ago and can't locate another one!  I have been looking at some other interesting replacements:  There is a Sephora Eyelash Applicator or this one on eBay:lash tool

Zumba!

My last post was about a new workout dvd series, "Beach Body, Brazil Butt Lift", that I purchased at the beginning of the summer.  I have actually done some of the workouts.  The main tip I would give is basically- you need a BIG ROOM~  large bedroom? No.  A big, cleared out playroom or garage or studio!  The dance steps require quite a bit of turning, spinning, kicking!  If you are just learning the moves, well, even more space is needed!  No lamps, end of bed posts, or dressers should be in the way!  :)

This brings me to my latest discovery~ ZUMBA!  This class is now being offered at my local gym, bodyFIT!  I have taken it twice.  The first time was so much fun!  The music, the dancing!  Wow, you can ask my friends and they will tell you, it put me in a really good mood! zumba-_cris_0041
The second time was fun, but I was kinda in a bad mood when I got there and I just couldn't get into the music!  But, I'm going to keep at it!  Our instructor, Tamela, is awesome, awesome!  Wow, she can dance! 
Zumba is great fun if you are looking for something different to burn calories.  The music is completely varied and multicultural.  The room is kept dark ~ yay!  I have often debated whether or not to put some vodka in my water bottle... hmmmm?  I mean, the tagline IS "Ditch The Workout, Join The Party!"

BeachBody ~ Brazil Butt Lift

At the beginning of the summer, I envisioned my life as one constant workout – stopping only for the necessities of life: working, family, etc.  Well- the necessities have grown very large, as of late! 

Yes, I have kept up with working out, but barely! 

My plan was to keep my regular times in the gym and to embellish my fitness plan with the Brazil Butt Lift System… because “YES, I wanted to lift my butt!”  (read the website- see if you can resist!)

Here it is today:

New Goal: get this open and try a few of the workouts next week.  Stay Tuned!  :)
