The Progression of make up taken by my fabulous conference roomie/student Hannah!
Sorry for make up spamming, but I’m still so proud of myself and how great it turned out!

Happy Halloween!
Forgot to post this on Friday. This was the dress I bought 6 weeks ago (aka pre-breakup) to wear to Wiley’s brother wedding. I put the dress on Friday night to see how much better it fit now and to see just good I would have looked in it. I hope I have an occasion to wear it soon.
Being back in NOLA is awesome. Ran 3.1 miles along the Riverwalk this morning.
GPOYCW – Gratuitous picture of your curls Wednesday!
One of my friends tweeted about doing Sock Bun Curls yesterday. I had no idea what she was talking about so I googled and found some tutorials:

I thought what the heck let’s try and I wound up with some AWESOME curls. I have naturally wavy hair to begin with which helps. Regardless it was SO easy. I look forward to playing around with some variations! Like trying it with slight damp hair instead of dry hair with some curling spray (made my hair a tad bit crunchy). Oh or like 2 baby buns. Gah this will be even better the longer my hair gets!
To make this fitness related…it helps to have some “go to” hair plans when you don’t want to wash your hair everyday despite working out. I often wear my hair wavy/curly, because I hate straightening it just to put it in a pony tail to run. However my curly hair involves washing it which isn’t good for my hair if I wash it daily. So I can use this sock bun trick to save on some washes.
HALLOWEEN PLANS
I’m doing a dia de los muertos sugar skull this year. I was thisclose to doing it last year, but decided to be a drag queen instead. I love any excuse to play with make up. This year I will ONCE AGAIN be in New Orleans for Halloween and you need to go big in NOLA. So I plan on doing it up, but on a budget. Just need some basic Halloween makeup and a big ol’ flower(s) for my hair coupled with the make up I already have and I plan on giving myself big sexy curly hair.
Work has been busy. heading out for a 5 mile run now. to hold you over here is a picture that surfaced on the internet from the Skirt Chaser 5K of me with my lovely friends Kateo and Becky.
I may be smiling, but that race was rough. Running with a full stomach on a hilly course = no bueno. I seriously thought I was going to barf (my friends I ran it with agreed). Ended up running it in 31:06. I’ll take it!
Headed out for my skirt chaser 5K. How freakin’ cute am I? (I wish I got a better shot of the high pony tail I’m rockin’)
I got my hair did yesterday!
I went with an ombre for the color – aka darker on top and lighter on the bottom/ends.
I love playing with hair color. This is a nice fall look – an homage to your sun soaked locks growing out, but in a fabulous way.
The color should lighten some with a few washes. The back looks cool too.
