Brew Class - Day 28 8:12 AM

At one point in our lives we have all taken a class in school, and at some point we have all had a beer...but have you ever done them simultaneously?? On day 28 i went to Home Brews and Gardens where they offer a monthly Brew class covering the basic essentials of the brewing process and a nice cold beer while they teach!!! This class was super casual and gets you up close and personal with a knowledgeable home brewer ready to answer any questions you have about making your own beer at home!

They teach you all the steps from timing to sanitizing to bottling and even let you taste a few of the grains...let’s just say I'm more of a fan of the finished product.

Real World Sea World - Day 27 12:21 PM

I can't believe i have yet to do this and i live in San Diego. The weather was beautiful on Sunday so we headed to the coast and rented a few kayaks and took them out off the La Jolla shore. We didn't sign up for a tour or anything we managed to adventure on our own. Besides my tour guide was much better to look at. ;)

                        

I'm not gonna lie, my heart was pumping pretty fast. At one time i had to stop looking down into the water because i was freaking myself out. Then we kayaked over to the cove where all the seals hang out on the rocks, we sat and watched them for a few minutes and were able to get closer then you could at Sea World. They look cute from far away but they are seriously massive creatures.

After that we headed for the caves, although we were warned and threatened with a $350 fine for going in them we still went. It’s a lot harder than it looks. We had to wait for the tide to pull out and then time the entrance just right. Not only did i think i was gonna run into the rocks and flip but i was sure i was going to scrape up my face, get the damn' fine, DROWNED and then my personal tour guide was gonna be mad at me.  Obviously i didn't drowned but i did crash into the rocks a few times but still somehow managed not to flip. With a little screaming here and there i was able to make it back out of the cave in one piece.

We adventured around a little more saw a leopard shark and then cruised back into shore. It was a very successful day and a good upper body workout as well. My arms are feeling it for sure!

Tiny TOMS - Day 26 11:39 AM

I joined the masses and bought the shoes that is known all over the world. I got my first Pair of TOMS.

TOMS slogan is "one for one" because with every pair you purchase TOMS will give a child in need a new pair of shoes...one-for-one! Not surprising at all but they are very comfortable! People either love these shoes or hate em'-as my best friend would say- "they look like diapers!" My feet are small enough that i was able to pick from the kids sizes and, for some reason these have a slightly different look then most! I don't think they look like diapers and i actually think they look cute. Most importantly they kept my little toes warm after a day up in the sky paragliding barefoot- they were frozen and therefore the reason i bought the TOMS on the spot!

Now i just want to find them in red!

Shooting - Day 25 11:14 AM

So maybe i don't have a perfect aim and i jumped every time the guns went off because the noise startled me but I sure did have fun! I shot an AR-15 which is a semi-automatic rifle and a Glock pistol. Both guns were cool but i think if i had to pick i would go for the Rifle, it just felt more video game-bad ass-ish! Few more times than I’ll be ready to take on a bad guy!

Carved My First Turkey - Day 24 10:46 AM

I went to town on that bird! And I enjoyed every moment of it! Who says it has to be the man’s job?

Is That Mascara? - Day 23 10:37 AM

Most girls go to the restroom to touch up there makeup....apparently not me! I whipped out my "team Edwards" makeup bag and had my best friend give me a makeover right there in the middle of the bar.


The best part was our audience. There are not many young people that have time to sit at a dive bar in the middle of the day so our audience was mainly over the age of 60; we were giving them a show to say the least. They were all very interested in what i was putting on my face. They kept finding reasons to come over and talk to us. One even tried to talk me into getting my eye liner tattooed on so i would never have to do my makeup again. He said all the young kids are doing it these days! I think I'm going to pass. Where's the fun in that?!

It's True Blondes Have More Fun! - Day 22 10:22 AM

So my attempt to cutting my own hair wasn't too horrible, definitely uneven though, so i had to get it cleaned up. Not only did i get it cleaned up but, I ended up going shorter than i ever have gone before... and working my way back to blonde. Feels good to be back and I'm having fun with my little bob.
