Eyebrows

Last year, right before my mom and I left to go on our cruise, she had a dream about spending all night lowering her eyebrows so that she would remain calm for a job interview. (she was also a man) My mom has the craziest dreams and she entertains me often by telling me about them. She shared this particular dream with me on our car trip to the port from which we set sail for a week in the Caribbean and it struck me so funny that I laughed about it the entire week. You can read her dream on her blog site Observations. Since then, we both never miss any opportunity to make a joke about an eyebrow lowering experience.

Well, I found out that my mom has never been real happy with her eyebrows and I realized that I haven't either. She and I made a trip to Ulta (cosmetics store) to look around and found ourselves having eyebrow make-overs. For most of my 46 years, I have left my eyebrows alone. They are quite small and never needed "cleaning up" until I hit my mid forties. I have had them waxed a few times, but never have been really pleased with any of the eyebrow looks that I have achieved.

If you read my mom's blog post on eyebrows, you discovered that she bought an entire kit for perfecting her eyebrows. It actually included a stencil which I found hilarious. I decided that just eyebrow make-up would be adequate for my eyebrow dilemma, however, when I got home, I envied her template as I found out how difficult it is to make a perfect eyebrow with a brush. (No, I am NOT going to draw them on like they did in the sixties!) I did a little internet research on eyebrows and found all kinds of articles...even TUTORIALS on You Tube on how to create the perfect eyebrows! Check this out!

Did you know that eyebrows are the frame to the face?

That is how important eyebrows are! I never knew! So, it has been my quest to create perfect, face framing eyebrows.

Here is what I came up with so far. Excuse the fact that my hair has not been "fixed" in these before and after photos! That is another blog post all together. I just got back from the salon!

Now, check out this tutorial! Perfect eyebrows! I think I will keep practicing.

Liz you are too funny! I must say your face is framed so perfectly! I can't imagine how you walked around for all those year's without a framed face and no one said a thing! We love you imperfections and all!

I Got A Feeling....

that this is gonna be a good, good year!!!!!! I have great expectations! And I don't make New Year's Resolutions, but I do like goals. And prayers. I know God will answer prayers, and there are a few that I look forward to seeing the answer to, hopefully in 2010. It would be great if love and peace and forgiveness would win out in a few broken relationships. I am still praying. And I am look forward to how my marriage will become more wonderful, as it does every year! My health should improve since I am training for a triathlon. I lost 23 pounds in 2009. I look forward to losing about 15 to 20 more. Completing the Caveman triathlon with a couple of my very good friends is a goal that I am excited to achieve! It is going to be fun to see what God is going to do because I said "yes" to Him and stepped up into Home Group leadership with my church. And my church.... I have to say I am amazed and thrilled to love my church! What a blessing after so many years of being a s...

I Close My Eyes

Well, I did it. I took the writer's challenge at a blog that I have been lurking around for some time. I found this blog through Laura at Wellblog 's place and have been enthralled ever since. I have dabbled in poetry on and off. Written some invitations, cards, and even a few song lyrics (for fun) but have been hesitant to post any. (roaring lion? see below post ) With the encouragement of a friend, I decided to take the challenge on L.L.Barkat's blog, in a lesson on seeing. I chose a subject that is cherished, a memory that was real and something close to my heart. The beach. Many, many days were spent at the beach in the 12 years I lived on the Southern Virginia coast. The memories are real, and when.......... I close my eyes and I can still see the beach. The endless spans of water Sometimes blue, green, or gray. It moves Gently and Violently Bubbles rise and falling forward. On and on. I close my eyes and I can still hear the crash Of tidal movement As earth slowly spi...
