WW: Lewes Dragon Boat Festival

Dragon Boat Race Photo

"Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly"
- Into The Mystic by Van Morrison

Lewes, Delaware had its first (and hopefully annual) Dragon Boat Festival on September 15, 2013! Several of my coworkers paddled for the Cape Gazette Flood Tides team. I stopped by Lewes Canalfront Park just in time to see them smoke the competition in Heat 13. After racing two more heats later in the day, they came in 8th place out of 21 dragon boat teams.

    Looks like a lot of fun combined with very hard work and constant training. Could help but root for the dragon lady team paddling their dragon boat.

    I am always fascinated by the rowers in my town. They have such power in their arms to get those boats moving as fast as they do!

Makeup Giveaway: All Natural Mineral Cosmetics by Madison Street Beauty

Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first?
