Well, I'm still 'smelling what the rock is cookin' and counting my way 'ah ah ah' .... in otherwords, I still look the same but we just came back from a trip to Wailoaloa beach and I'm hoping the sun bleached out the brows a bit today...I know my skin is a little redder if that any indicator.

I didn't ask for 'the count' look. When you pay 10bucks for a facial at a beauty school with 'therapists' in training, this is what you get....buyer beware. I'd post an actual photo but our Nikon is on the fritz. Besides, this is what I look like.
