Manifold [Night out in London]

Leave a reply
This is part of a post that was submitted to the Manifold magazine.  I went out with my friend Evette in London.  This was my first time going out dancing since living in Hawaii.  Being a single mum while Ryan was still in Hawaii being busy here with home and work since we moved here, I have not had a lot of time or opportunities to get out. When my friend got to London I was very excited to not only catch up but have much needed girl time.  I met up with Evette at her hotel room and we got all dolled up.  We found a club and had a great time dancing.  After meeting up with a new friend, the three of us went out for Lebanese food for dinner.  It was a great night of friends, food, and memories to last! Thank you Evette, I look forward to seeing you again!

Shaved Head

Leave a reply

I already shaved the side of my head myself.  This was for one of the things to do before I turn 30 this year.  Being such a big milestone marker in birthdays I want to do a bunch of things I have not done yet or would like to accomplish before November 24th rolls around.  I love the shaved side of my head because I can show it off or keep it hidden.  But I really wanted to do something more fun with it.  So after being a hair model for my coworker Claire at the Brighton salon, I popped into a barber shop by the rail station.  I asked for a star design that I had seen online and got a great end result.  It was so much fun to show off as I waited for my train.  I have to admit that hanging out at the barber shop with a bunch of guys is very refreshing from working in a salon with mostly females every day.  I think I will go back once this design grows out.

Newlyweds Melissa & Nick  
Had a great time catching up with my friend Melissa Hurley and her husband Nick. A little tour around Brighton and the shops, followed by a very yummy dinner at the Jamie Oliver Italian restaurant in Brighton and dessert at… Starbucks 😛 Loved catching up since our three years spent in Hawaii. Miss our photo shoot sessions, but know we will meet up again. PS. Thank you Melissa for furthering my Chanel addiction 😉 xx ♥ B.

Going back to Brunette

I come home and my youngest son exclaims, “Mummy the red in your hair is gone.” If my 4 year old can already tell if I’ve changed my hair, than I know he is going to make a great partner to some lucky lady in the future.
Hair colour to go back to brunette. Ginger was fun, but time for something new.  
With my beautiful long brown hair I feel pretty again.

It is January first of 2012 and we start a brand new year!  Happy New Years to all our friends and family!  Our family looks forward to a new year in England and all that 2012 has in store for us.  This morning we got dressed and headed outside to do our family portraits for 2012.  Sadly just as we got the tripod set it England met us with a downpour of rain.  Despite the quick shoot below is our family photo and I really love how it turned out.  After our shoot we had breakfast in town and then stopped at the beloved game store for some New Years treats.  I believe we will have some black eyed peas for dinner.  I hope everyone has a wonderful new years and that you keep to your resolutions for a successful and productive 12 months ahead.
