Our vacation in Hawaii

Right now I am sitting in our new sofa in our new home. It is the first time I have opened my computer since the last time I posted, feels like forever!

Here comes some photos from when Raven and I where in beautiful Hawaii. My gosh, it really was paradise! The water was just so blue, the sun was shining almost the whole time during our stay and everything was within walking distance. We were both so relaxed, just enjoying our gorgeous surroundings.



We spent some time at the beach of course, and almost tried surfing (did not stand up on the board). But despite the fact that he found SPF 110, Raven got sunburned the first day. That didn't really matter though, because there were so many other exciting things to do!



One of the first things we did was follow the GPS to a beach that was supposed to be a nudist beach (we all have that on our bucket lists, right?). When we found it, it turned out to be just a regular beach, but with less tourists and more surfers so we stayed and watched them for a while. Wow, those guys are good!



One of the days we went to the Aquarium. There are so many beautiful creatures in the sea! I took a lot of nice photos in there that I might show you later on. This guy over here was our favorite of the sea creatures. He was so elegant and calm in the way he moved trough the water. It was very fascinating to observe him.



We also visited Honolulu Zoo. I have never been to such a big zoo before! I saw so many animals that I had never seen. I love animals. They all fascinate me!



Raven decided to go to a shooting range and try out some guns. I don't really like guns, at all, but he somehow adores them. He did good though and seemed very pleased with his own efforts. Boys will be boys.



Last time we went on a vacation Raven took his open water diving license, so we had to go diving in Hawaii! Or he did, I snorkeled. But we both saw wild turtles up close, that was such an experience. I would try not to move in the water and just watch them as long as I could. Truly amazing.



The last full day we where in Waikiki, we both got some new ink at Skin Deep Tattoo Waikiki. The difference was that mine took 1,5 hour and Ravens took 8,5 hours! As I said earlier I will post pictures of my tattoo later on (you can see it on my instagram: jeanettemarie), but I have to get some good photos of it. I just have not had time with the moving, starting school and stepping in for my boss. I am not complaining at all though, it is all for the better!

I can truly recommend Honolulu to anyone who are wondering where they are going to spend their next vacation. 
It is paradise.

Our week in Alabama (and a small update)

As some of you may know Raven and I spent a week with his brothers family in Alabama this summer. We had such a great time and hopefully it won't be long until we go back for a new visit! I'm not going to tell you that much about it (other than that we went to Point Mallard, Huntsville Botanical Garden, Space & Rocket Center and Cathedral Caverns), but I thought I'd share some pictures.



















I know that some of you have noticed how quiet it is in here these days so I thought I'd just fill you in. Well, most of my time is spent at work. In edition to my own shifts I am stepping in for my boss who is on vacation. When I am not at work I am painting walls and moving stuff from the apartment into a house that is going to be my new home. I am trying to get everything settled before I start school next week because my boss is still on vacation for an other two weeks. So hopefully I can get back to blogging normally again in two weeks time! Oh, and I am babysitting the dog. She is not much hassle, but like any other dog she needs to be walked, fed and cuddled with.

How was your summer?

Tfp Photoshoot at a beautiful beach in Langesund

On Tuesday I got to do makeup for an tfp-photoshoot. It was so much fun, and the pictures I've seen are so beautiful! I took a lot of behind the scenes photos and I'll show you some. I might even post more later because they also turned out pretty cool. I love how the pictures I took show the photographers many different positions under a shoot so I made it my mission to catch them under the shoot.



I am so grateful that Angie, the model, asked me to join them on this shoot. She is such a fun person, great model and stylist. She did all the styling herself and all the planning. You can find her facebook page here.



The photographer, Malwina, was actually here for vacation, but she decided to combine her holiday with a little bit of work. I would too if I had the chance to work with such a gorgeous model at this awesome location in Langesund. You can find Malwinas facebook page here.



What do you think of the photos?

Jeffrey Campbell sale!

I am just dropping inn before work to tip you all about the Jeffrey Campbell sale happening at Members.com right now. They are from 40 to 65 percent off! Oh, I almost wish I didn't bankrupt myself on my vacation. I love Jeffrey Campbell shoes. I only have one pair, but they are the best pair of heels I own!



Let me know which pair you get if you buy some!
It will make me so envious, but happy for you at the same time.

Instagram: We no speak Americano

This summer has been the best summer I think I have ever had! Our vacation to the USA was just amazing. Because I am not sure about which of the 800 pictures on my camera I want to post here I am just going to fill you in by posting my instagram pictures from our vacation. The first picture is from Alabama, and it is the only instagram picture from Alabama, but I will post more pictures later. The rest is from Hawaii.
