About Me


Most people guess that I am between the ages of 19 & 22. Having just turned 25, I am thankful for the compliment of youth. Born & raised in Hawaii, my roots are in a little rainy town called Hilo. Washington is home temporarily... another stop along the journey.
I love, love, love my son. He recently took his first steps and loves to dance! Ayden is my inspiration and if there is one thing I have done right in this world... he is it.
I have been blessed with love that I previously believed only existed in dreams. I married the best man my heart has ever known in a little chapel in Las Vegas surrounded by family and friends. We will be those old people holding hands one day. For now, we enjoy every moment of our happily ever after.
My three step kids make life interesting, to say the least. Their safety, happiness and well being are of utmost importance to me. I love them.
Makeup is my passion. I love the beauty, transformation and artistry. From MAC addict to employee... my dream come true. It is amazing to have finally found something in life that makes me so happy that it doesn't feel like work. I LOVE my job.
I feel the need to reinvent myself every few months... through my hair. I wear black a lot due to work, but absolutely love color (especially on my eyes!). I love my 2 dachshunds. Wes says too much. But, they're my furry babies!
There is nothing more important to me than family. Loyalty is everything. My past does not dictate my future. I believe in the concept of karma and try to live my life by it. I am open minded, to each its own. This is ME.

The girl I used to be

I am grown up... the very phrase that I was afraid of for so long is now my life.  I like to say that I "grew up" in those six years I spent on Oahu, but the truth is grown up-ness eluded me unti...

Writing the pain away

At eleven I dreamed of being a writer.  My previous dreams of going to Yale and becoming a lawyer were shot down once I realized the ethics, or lack thereof, in the field. At first my writin...

Lately I have tried not to judge people because of the simple reality that there is no way I can know all facets to a persona or situation. This is for all of you who think you know... well, newsflash...

Lemon colored

All that is audible is the occasional car outside and my fingers as they hit the keys.  Sleep doesn't elude me, it welcomes me.  Yet I push it away.  Who needs a comfortable lemon color...
