Mt. Helix, at sunset. September 2011.
A few weeks ago, Mr. G and I made the trek up to Mt. Helix to catch the sunset. Living in San Diego all my life, it's easy to take for granted that the sun sets over the ocean here (which often creates the most spectacular sunsets you have ever seen!), so it's something I try to actively appreciate as often as I can. Unfortunately, it was a very hazy afternoon, so I didn't get the beautiful photos I had hoped for. On a good day, you can see the Pacific Ocean and Mexico very clearly but, since it was so hazy that day, everything looked like it was painted in watercolor. Anyway, it was still pretty, so I thought I'd share.
The Lipstick League Question of the Week:
A $100 gift certificate to Sephora magically lands in your lap. What do you buy?
G's Answer: Fresh Sugar Lychee! Sugar Lychee is one of my favorite fragrances of all time and I never, ever grow tired of it. I think I'd buy the biggest bottle of Sugar Lychee they make ($75), and then I'd buy a back-up body lotion ($22.50). With my remaining $2.50, I'd buy two of these (since this is a fantasy, we can pretend they're still in stock).
