My boring brows

Once upon a time I had my already dark brows filled (penciled) for my best friend's wedding. At first I thought it looked terrible and that the ladies at MAC had ruined my best friend's big day because no one would want to look at such a hideous creature. But when I arrived at the vineyard where she was to be married, the reaction was quite the opposite than what I expected. People said it made me look better... not in those words though.
Since then I have always contemplated filling in the ol' brows but have never done it.
Fear, I suppose, of over filling with the wrong color is holding me back... But I have been craving a change in my face and rather than botox...this seems like a good starting point. So, for your viewing pleasure, here is a picture of me in my youth with filled in eyebrows.

Des's Italy

My BFF and her hubby ventured on an Italian Vacation I can only dream of... they went all over and drank oodles of wine... and saw beautiful things and fell in love all over again. The images are so spectacular I had to share them. Her camera takes fantastic pics... I think she said there were settings that made them look this way, but regardless, amazing shots.

Here are a few postcard-esque photos.

 

Two of my VERY favorite people doing one of my VERY favorite things.

I think these are the colors in the are the colors dreams are made of.

I am sure he was singing "Emily, we wish you were here in Italy drinking wine and eating food with us!"

This is what I see when I think of Romantic Italy

She will conquer the world...

 

 

Perhaps after she conquers the world she will be able to Vacation to Italy with her best friend. What do you say miss Gar?
