Bay Area Reorientation

Hey there fellow beauty junkies! My laptop is under repair and since Hubbo is very picky as to what gets installed in his laptop, my entries will need to be photo-less until my partner-in-crime-laptop gets back into working condition.

To start this entry off, I've officially been a re-oriented Bay Area Californian now for nearly two weeks! Whoa! But getting here was a whole other story... ready? I sold 90% of our bulky items through Craigslist, donated what wasn't coming, and packed the rest of our belongings into four really big boxes, six carry-ons, and one extra large suitcase in the course of four days. But let's not forget that we barely made our departing flight as it took forever to check in everything we were bringing AND we had arrived to the airport early! As soon as we finally checked in our boxes, we had to check our six carry-ons through security then RUN to the other end of the Earth (because that's where our terminal was!) with our carry-ons, a stroller, and two kids THEN had to pass through the aisles of the plane to reach our seats at the very tail-end of the plane. When we finally got situated and sat down, Hubbo and I looked at each other and said, "I can't believe we just pulled that all off". Then it was 5 lovely hours with the kiddos. (Note to self: I'M NOT DOING THIS AGAIN!! Lol.) As for now, we're staying with family in the meantime until we get our own place to shack it up, but Hubbo, the kids, and I have been adjusting slowly but surely. Yay us :D

What have we been occupying our days with? Actively job-hunting (anyone hiring?), picking up the necessities we didn't bring, getting the kids onto the California time zone, catching up with family and friends, scheduling playdates, grocery shopping, doing some damage at Target, errands, errands, and more errands... did I mention actively job-hunting?? Lol. But with our days always being so packed in, I'm actually surpised that it's already been two weeks.

Do I miss Hawai'i? I miss Hawai'i tremendously. The moist air (translate = no allergies!), the local food, the aloha spirit, cars that don't honk and actually gesture thank you to other curteous drivers, people who are actually pleasant on the phone, lol. But I am enjoying being around great company and familiar surroundings. And boy am I loving Target again and all those Sonia Kashuk brushes!! Haven't bought any yet, but I foresee a few entering the picture in the very near future.

What looks have I been sporting since the arrival? Due to the spontaneity of how our days function, I haven't really found effort to put on any makeup. It's been all natural days for a while now and not even the "faked" natural look! Not to mention, my skin has also been rather upset with me since I've been quite inconsistent on my skin regimen, so I'm sure I've been scaring everything I've encountered, lol.

Well, just thought I'd drop in and let you all know how things have been going so far and that I've been thinking about ya' and I hope that your week has been going great. I appreciate each and every one of you that have kept the good vibes going on during our move as well as the wonderful wishings for this new chapter in our lives.

Keep that makeup looking fab!

Aloha,
Mrs. Lynne
