1999 - Rocky Mountains
Midway through a three month mountaineering course in the Rocky Mountains, my girlfriend and I rounded up all the beauty supplies we could find on our day off from climbing and proceeded to colour our hair, paint our nails and makeup our faces as if we were about to hit a glam ball.
After living in the mountains 24/7 for a month and a half and being the dirtiest I'd ever been in my life, I craved everything feminine and pampering. I've never looked back.
Now I run instead of climb (knee surgeries) but I've never lost my penchant for making pretty of dirty.
I started this blog for many reasons (i.e. simple love of doing it). I'm also spending much of the next year in my running clothes as it's now "the year of me" (after being the year of him in 2010).
