I’m really happy with how my brows look. Mandy is a true artist!
Random musings and a picture into my world. You might see recipes one day, hockey stats the next, and even my top ten Hollywood heart throbs the following day. It all depends on my mood and what's going on in my noggin at the time. Typically SFW, but occasionally NSFW. You will definitely see photos of animals, friends, and places I've visited. Sit down and pour yourself a cuppa ... enjoy!

Skate America 2024
A few weeks ago, I attended the Skate America competition in Allen, Texas with my dear friend Coy Covington. I got to see some of my favorite skaters, including Donovan Carrillo from Mexico, Madison Chock and Evan Bates from the USA (and the reigning World Ice Dance champs), and France’s Kevin Aymoz I was also finally able to meet Ashley Cain, former US Pairs champ and 2022 Winter Olympian (she and her partner, Timothy LeDuc, placed 8th!); we’ve been friends on Instagram for several years, and it was so nice to finally meet her IRL. She’s just the sweetest person ever!
Brow Journey, Part 4
It’s been a week since I had my brows tattooed by Mandy C (I’ll include a link to her website below). I’m very pleased with the result. She was able to fix a problem with the tails and arches, give me a more full look (years of waxing had pretty much destroyed the shape of my natural brows). and the color she selected complements my skin tone perfectly. I may go in for a touch-up in about six to eight weeks, but I’ll make that determination in a few weeks.
Mandy’s website is https://www.browsbymandyc.com/ … she specializes in powder ombré brows (she does not do or recommend microblading).

Today was a good day
I had the honor and pleasure of participating in the ordination service for my friend Jonathan Greer this afternoon as part of the choir. My soul rejoices and my spirits are lifted.

WTF, America?!?
Asian, Black, Blue Collar, Brown, Chronic Disease or Illness, Female, Gay, Hispanic, Immigrant, Indigenous, Latino, Mentally Ill or Disabled, Mexican, Muslim, Physically Disabled, Queer, Transgender, Working Class
If any of the above words or phrases describe you, then you have every right to be concerned for your health and safety over the next four to five years.
America, you didn’t understand the assignment. You’ve failed your fellow citizens.

Brow Journey, Part 2
The brows are looking a little less cray-cray today. Still a little dark, but that will lessen over the next week or so. Happy with the shape!

Brow Journey 2024
I’ll be posting daily updates for the next week or so, as I just had my brows tattooed again. I went with a different technique this time - powder/ombré instead of microblading. They look a little cray-cray right now, but they should lighten up after a few days of healing.
