Oh no, I don't have my family photos online but I would love to tell you about it!
Our best day at the beach was the first time I took my son to the beach!
He was so enthralled with the waves but scared a bit too. It was like nothing he had ever seen and he couldn't take his eyes off of the crashing waves.
He finally got a little braver and decided to go down by the water, just barely wobbling (checking to make sure that I was right there behind him) he went out and smushed his toes into the sandy water.
He was having a great time when all of a sudden a little wave came and knocked him onto his behind!
It was so funny to see the shocked look on his face as his behind hit the sand!
It was a great day at the beach, our best ever.
I got a great photo of him playing in the sand. I will see if I can get it online and post it later!

My favortie time on the beach was the first time that my son got to go to the beach

It was so much fun watching the calm waves touch his toes, somthing that I will remember for sure

This one is actually not my photo but I have a photo similar to this one

oops...

I forgot to add my photo lol!

I love building sand Castles too!

This is my fave photo I have seen

Love This

I don't have a picture of it but my favorite beach thing is swimming in the waves lol.

I swear that I was supposed to be a fish lol.

If I had to pick one thing I love about the beach it would the the sand. It is just like getting a little pedicure

I have a photo similar to this one that I love.

I do not have a photo too but I can tell you about my favorite one that I have taken.

We went fishing with our little one and we have a picture of him with a wave crashing up against the sand and the sun rising and his silhouette with a fishing pole.

I thought that this was pretty cool

I foudnt his pic on the interenet and it is great

No pics. Lost 10 years of my kids and our vacations, on my cd's. They simply erased themselvs.
Pain unexplainable.

Favorite beach memories.
I used to take my youngest, camping all summer, for years. He loved the water; I called him my Water Baby.
We would go to Lake Superior and Lake Michigan and he would spend all day in that cold water.
He would turn blue lipped and come out on my insistence, only to "pretend" to fall in the sand, and have to run back in the water to clean off.

That little boy is in college now and I miss those days like nothing I can compare with. I ache for those days.
So my photos are gone, but my memories are vivid.

I don't have a picture of it either. But my favorite time was when my daughter was 5 and my oldest son was 10 mths. It was their first time at the beach and they were both so amazed by the ocean. Seeing it through their eyes was wonderful. My son had been walking for about a month and seeing him toddle through the sand was adorable.

My favorite beach thing is the sounds. I love the sounds of the waves crashing, the water moving and the birds making all of their unique sounds. It's so relaxing to just sit and be still.

I don't have any pictures of the hilarity but we had one heck of time! grandma, mom, dad, 2 aunts, 2 uncles, brother, sister, husband, and 3 cousins smushed into a 4 bedroom house in Cape May, NJ. My husband, siblings and 2 cousins went kayaking when the tide would come in. When the tide was out (which seemed like was anytime we were awake) we'd wander the muddy tidal area looking for sink holes and interesting creatures. The sink holes found us constantly and we'd flounder in the mud until someone would pull us out. My sister found a snail which she named Edwin and declared her BiFFLe (best friend for life). My mean old aunt made her throw it away Then one night while wandering the mud after a viscous lightning storm we saw a family of DEER out there! Just wandering around aimlessly in the wet sand. There weren't even any woods nearby that the deer would have wandered out of. My sister and I were convinced that Harry Potter must be somewhere conjuring up his patronus. Why else would there be deer on a beach?

Such fun colors. My parents live in San Diego. Our two favorite things is to visit Ruby's on the pier in Oceanside or Miguel's on Coronado Island. Both allow for some great beach time. Our family favorite, besides playing in the sand involves boogie boarding. We can never get enough!

My husband and I share a love of photography and we use that often to reconnect us when we feel things are going astray. Living in California also helps as we both love the peacefulness and beauty the beach brings us, as we used to visit here often when we first got married 23 years ago. I love this photo I took as the sun was setting and a the birds are so graceful and peaceful.

After a wonderful week spent in Duck, NC with my 4 year old and lots of extended family, I ended the week by getting up very early and trekking down to the beach with my coffee and camera in hand to sit, relax and watch the sun rise. It was the most beautiful and relaxing hour of the week. The bird who happend to fly by just made the shot perfect.

I've been a fan of Everyday Minerals (I've worn them nearly every day for over four years) and really like the colors you've selected for this collection. I'm a fan on Facebook and would love to win this collection!

Thanks!

What a gorgeous kit! It totally reminds of me the beach!

My favorite beach memory is of vacationing with family in Myrtle Beach, SC. At the night, the pond frogs make a very distinct sound, which to my New York ears sounded a lot like screeching extra terrestrials

I really wish I had a picture of my face the first time I heard that sound!

XOXO

I love this great collection! Makes me want to head for the beach. Thanks for your great products!

Wow -- I just read to my daughter a story about a sandcastle last night. What great photos! The colors of the kit are fabulous - I would love to win one of these kits.
No photos to attach, but a link to a very famous painting and one of my favorites - Mary Cassatt's "Children on the Beach." What beautiful sunkissed children.

This is a picture of my daughter at a beach in Honolulu this past Saturday. She was dipping her hands in the water and licking her fingers, then she started chewing on sea shells. Not only is it fun to play at the beach, but I guess it tastes good too She had a lot of fun playing with her big sister and getting to play in the ocean for the first time. I can't wait until we go back, but I'll make sure I feed her before we do. LOL

This picture is of me and my boyfriend on the first trip we ever took. We both love the water very much and we just celebrated our 6 year anniversary one week ago on Lake Michigan.

The colours in the kit are beautiful and are all reminiscent of the beach. Theres something very magical about the beach, and even adults seem to find themselves transported back to their childhood on each and every visit. Living in england its hard to find a beach with sparkling blue sea and shimmering white sand, but for me its the feeling of the sand between your toes, the smell of the salty seawater and the cries of the seagulls flying overhead that give me that feeling again that we all have as children on the beach. my son who's now twelve loves searching for crabs and we all collect as many shells as we can find! Theres also the lovely story our mums always used to tell us when we were little that if you stand somewhere quiet and hold a large shell to your ear you will always be able to hear the sea deep inside, and sure enough i still think i can hear it whenever i do, so so special. xxxx

I'm absolutely in love with your products! I've used them for over three years and couldn't be happier!

This picture is of the first trip my boyfriend and I ever took together and it was to Interlochen, MI in the fall of 2005. We both love the water and beaches so much. We just spent our 6 year anniversary last week on Lake Michigan

Fantastic is all i can say about your products!!!

Fantastic products.....from a BIG fan

Beautiful colors. Reminds me of the dunes at Welfleet.

Thanks for making such great products, with such a huge selection of colors! I always bought the lightest shade of foundation but still could never find my exact match--it was too pink or too peach, or just too dark for my very fair skin. My daughter had the same problem, although we are different shades of pale! We both found the perfect color for us with the everyday minerals try me kits, and couldn't be happier! I have told all of my friends and got my sister hooked as well. Your brushes are excellent and such a great value! I also love the eyeshadows and lippies! Keep up the great work, and thank you!

This was a whole family trip to the beach... me, my husband and our 4 kids; my sister; my brother in law; sister in law and her 2 kids; and parents in law! It was an awesome time and the adults had just as much fun as the kids did. This is a pic we were trying to get of me and my sister and my daughter successfully "photo bombed" us (which she learned how to do from my sister!)!!! Great times! BTW: I looooooove your makeup and haven't been able to order in a very long time so the chance to win this would be awesome! (here is a link to my pic on facebook b/c i'm computer illiterate and don't see how to attach it here! http://www.facebook.com/profil...1955646791)

My husband proposed to me with the ocean in the background.....It was one of the best days of my life. In 20 days we have been married for 1 year. Can't believe it has been that long already. And I love him more with each day that passes.

Thank you for det best and most perfect shades ever. And thank you for making everything so smooth and easy - it's a pleasure buying your products. (I'm ordering all the way from Denmark)...from this very nice website to the wrapping of the products. Filled with love and passion.....it shows! Thank you so much!

I hope this works as i've not tried to add a photo this way before, this photo is of my youngest son playing at the beach at my dads in portsmouth, i love the way the beach makes you feel alive. xx

I love the picture because it reminds me that my little boy was learning how to make a "sandcastle" all by himself (with a little help from mommy)!
I love the colors of the beach!

It was amazing one day inside a building they had these huge sand castles on display that were so Canadian it was awesome. One was like a sky-line of the city of Toronto and the best part of the sand castles to me, was this beaver peering from a building.. Im not sure how to upload a picture. But i'll just link you to another really cool almost life sized sand castle!!

This was taken during our vacation this past January.

It was really low tide, and we were able to see a lot of small starfishes (the small beige ones in the 1st pic), then all of a sudden we saw the bigger ones by the rocks!! It was fantastic!!!

That was the first time that I saw starfishes that big, outside of the Vancouver Aquarium.
They were so colourful and bigger than my hand and one even had horns!! O_O!!
Taking pictures was enough for my cousins because they were actually afraid of touching the starfishes, but I wanted to hold them, so I carefully lifted them up for a couple of pictures, then I placed them back were we found them. I was of course apprehensive at first when I was handling them, especially the one with the horns, but it was such a rush afterward!! I couldn't stop grinning!!

The people there told us how we can leave them out to dry, so that we can keep them as souvenirs, if we wanted, but I was kinda horrified at the idea of killing them, so I just politely refused.

Other than that, It was one of the best and memorable places we've ever been!!!







*I don't know if the pictures will show up. If not, then just please follow the link. Thanks!*

When my husband and I saved up enough money, we were able to take a trip to Bermuda. We only could stay there a couple days, but it is somewhere I have always wanted to go. It was such a beautiful place, one I will never forget. Although it was very short, it was amazing. I have only been to the beach a couple times in my life, and this was a very special memory. When we where walking along a sidewalk near the edge of the water, several miniature dolphins swam up near where we were. It was so, so special and unexpected. My favorite animals have always been whales, elephants and dolphins. It is definitely a trip of a life time.

I live about a 10 minute walk from the beach, which is awesome. On really hot days I like to take a walk or jog to the beach and then cool off with a swim. This photo that I took last month shows just how low the water level is this year - I've never seen it like this before! But it's been a hot summer, after a winter with less snow than usual. It's weird to have to walk out so far before reaching the water! And the buoy line is still in its usual place, so the swimming area is a lot smaller than during normal years. But I just swim beyond it, anyway.

I dont know where ive been for the past few years because i am new found lover of everyday minerals. IM IN LOVE WITH THIS PRODUCT!!! Thank you!!!

There is nothing about summer that I DONT like, being in the northeast we can get "muggy" hot sticky sweaty weather and I LUV IT... I get a lil sad towards the end of August when we being to see the start of the leaves beginning to drift off the trees..

We had a super day kayak Surfing in Sligo on the west coast of Ireland. by the end we were getting tired this photo is my friend Catherine emerging from the surf a little bedraggled makes me smile every time

My best memories at the beach were at a chalet that my family rented. We had a sea view, no air con (but the sea breeze was fantastic) and plenty of fun at the beaches. I seldom get to spend time with my cousins, so that was a very special trip for me and one that I still hold dear after so many years.

It's me fooling around on the beach...All the people nearby also had fun looking at me and smiled! After the "stonetherapy" I had them everywhere... Don't judge too strictly!

I love EVM! Been using it since 2008 when my friend introduced it to me. Actually she didn't. I just asked what she was using cause she looked so picture perfect and glowy all night. Haha.

Recently I went to the beautiful island of Bali for a quick getaway. My boyfriend and I were staying near to the Kuta area where the beach was a tad too overcrowded. So we decided to explore around a little more and we got ourselves to Nusa Dua. It was great!! The skies were clear and the sun was perfect for tanning. The beach was really clean and we felt almost like we had it to ourselves! A nice, warm and lazy day at the beach. Perfect right? So then there i was trying to get some good beach jumpshots. Heh.

A sand castle collection would be a good add to my EVM collection. Its definitely something that one can use everyday!! Thanks for making EVM happen! =)

I can't say I have too many pictures of the beach, which is kind of weird. Having grown up in southern California, I have a lot of memories tied to the beach. I tend to not take pictures of things, preferring to be present in the moment, so perhaps that accounts for why that may be.

I went to school in a landlocked state for three years, and my appreciation for the beach (as well as for Korean food, which I missed intensely out in Ohio) grew a lot during that time. So it became more and more of a tradition for me to try and make it out to the beach at least once each break. Every summer, a friend of mine from school hosted a bonfire at Huntington Beach for alumni, current students, and whomever else was around--bonfires are huge, and I think almost half of my trips to the beach in my adult life were for bonfires.

The first year I was back in California for good, I went to the beach a number of times, but usually it was at night--it's my favorite time. There aren't a lot of people (occasionally that's because I go after the beach officially "closes," muhaha) and the moon is reflecting off the water. I love to take off my shoes (invariably, I'm in flip-flops, because I *am* a Cali girl) and just get my feet wet. I'll stand there and listen to the water, feel it lapping over my toes, and just take some time to think and clear my mind. Also, there are some rocky beaches, and I love going and sitting on the rocks, watching the water, in the winter when--again--there are few people braving the cold to go to the beach. But I suppose four years in the Midwest have made me fearless.

Another favorite memory is from a semester abroad in Austria. I loved the semester, but I missed the ocean--and once in a while I got to see the water, like when I took a trip to Barcelona and got to walk on the pier for a bit. But after the semester was over, I went on a trip to Ireland with some friends, and we went to the Dingle Peninsula. We took a drive along the coast that brought us to Slea Head, where there is this magnificent beach. I didn't realize how much I had missed the water until my feet hit the wet sand--I have a couple of pictures that I took before I gave into my glee at finally being at a beach again, but they don't do justice to the vivid colors that were typical of everything I saw in Ireland. I'm including one of the best ones. (Hopefully it posts!)

Thanks to my Michigan friend who now is Floridian... I was able to visit her and see the ocean with my own eyes
I still have not figured out how to paste a picture from my pics?!?!

Here are some pics from the beach this summer.












My family came to visit this summer for a very short time. In fact, my sister (who lives over 1600 miles away) had to split her time with her in-laws that lived a few hours away from me. She came to stay with me for 2 days and then she had to go since they had planned to go to the beach. Then she suggested we go with. We booked the very last hotel room where she was staying and we were on our way. After sitting in the car for hours through some heavy traffic, we were finally there. The kids went crazy. It was worth the drive and traffic to see those excited faces and hear the delighted squeals come from them. It was their very first time at the beach and seeing the ocean. We had a blast. In the morning, we woke early and searched for shells. My daughter picked up everything she could carry, even broken ones. The kids found a crab and thought it was so cool. We let it be, but after some time when people started coming out, a couple picked it up and started examining it.

I don't have any pictures of us at the beach. We have only been to the ocean once as a family and we were too busy playing in the sand and waves to take pictures. The beach the kids enjoyed the most was on the Kentucky River, where my dad used to work. My dad took the kids down to a beach that most people don't used and they collected rocks. The kids had a blast on the beach that day with my dad.

this place is so special to me. when this picture was taken, I was with my friend. I just got my new camera, and it was sun (something that's almost never here) I just love the summer because then we can go to the beach and chill, It's winter here almost the hole year so when the summer comes its so beautyful. the beach is one of my favorit places. even when its snow everywhere its beautyful there, I have some picture of it. the snow is lying on the ground, but somewhere there is no snow because the water has taken it.

it was the kids first time!! it was really cold and windy but they were too excited that the cold weather didn't stop them from touching the freezing water..and yes we did made sand castles even though we didn't have any buckets!! we try our very best! i wish i had the other pictures of the boys running into the water and the kids with the sand castles!

it has to be when i took my dog to the beach for the first time, lets say he went a little mad for the sand.

the silly but very adorable doggy took a fancy to a little bucket and started running away with it i just couldnt stop laughing as i ran after him, which wasnt easy in my inappropiate choice of wedge boots.

i had sand everywhere and we had so much fun.

I wish I could share some of my favorite pictures from a trip to Ocean City / Assateague Island that my sister took me on the summer before my senior year of high school, but the way the pictures are mounted in my scrapbook I am worried they will be ruined if I try to take them out. And there is no way I will risk ruining them. But I found a picture online of Assateague Island and it's beautiful wild ponies. It is so spectacular to be on a gorgeous beach with wild horses all around you. It was a great trip!

My best beach memory is when i went to ireland and saw their lovely beaches....they were different than anything i had seen on the jersey shore!
I was so used to seeing flat land and lots of sand (it sometimes seemed like you had to walk for miles in sand just to get from boardwalk to water). When i went to ireland it seemed so natural and "real" and not as manufactured. There was barely any sand and lots of cliffs and hills....it was absolutely amazing....and beautiful....and spectacular.....Here is my favorite picture that i took

I've searched this photo all week long and I finally found it yesterday!
I would like to share this piece of my (beachy) life with you Carina, and all the fan club



Summer 1990.
From left to right: Lucia (Yep, Me!), Mary and Naike. About 4 years old.
Too cute!!

These 3 little girls knew each other from 1989, when they all went to school togheter for the first time.
They instanlty became inseparable friends!
And today, after 20 years, they still are best friends.

Also if our lives took different directions I can say we are today like many year ago we were in this pic: hand in hand.
This pic is so special (is one of the first pics together!), just because it remember how True friendship could last longer: everytime I see it I'm always moved because I start thinking about all we've done in so many years, all the experiences lived togheter, the quarrels, the joyful moments...
And, after all, we're still here one for each other.
Hand in Hand

Thanks for this post Carina, and Thanks True Friendship!

xoxo

Carina, I love building sandcastle too! And I also love the Sand Castle Collection. Colors are perfect!

A month ago I was spending holidays in Egypt. It was great experience, I was impressed. This country is beautiful. I love the flora, beautiful sandy beaches and turquoise sea. I think that everyone should visit Egypt, especially Sharm El Sheikh!

And I will show you some photos:
