Beauty Secret

I REALLY hate when people keep their beauty tricks a secret!! To me, if I figure out something I love and works, I'll share it with the world! So now I've decided to just start blogging my beauty tricks I come across. So enjoy! :)



We sell this at my work so I figured I'd just give it a try and oh my gosh I love it! I don't use it for the lip plumping aspect of it.. we all know my lips are big and voluptuous enough!! hahaha. But I use it for the exfoliation benefit. The second I put it on I had so much icky dead skin balling up and falling off! I know, gross... but Now... my lips are so so soft, look so much better under lipstick and gloss and such, and yes... I think they do look a bit fuller and bigger lol. I love it!!

A Mother is Born

"The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new." -Rajneesh

It's MY life, I'm in Control.

"What if there is something so much greater and wonderful in store for you if you would simply let go ...letting go can be the biggest release one could have been hoping for. So many times we humans think that holding on tighter, clinging to the familiar, will bring us peace, but it is in that letting go that we are open to NEWness."

I release and let go. I welcome peace in my life and all the new joys the universe offers me.

There truly are no words to describe the feeling of becoming a mother. The moment your child is born into this world and placed in your arms is the absolute most spiritual and euphoric feeling ever to be felt. It is the closest to God I have ever in my life been and I would give birth 10 times over and over just to feel the height of those feelings. Such an honor. I thank God everyday for this opportunity and my sweet sweet bundle of joy. My life finally has direction and meaning again. Although I am single and still waiting for my prince charming, my heart is fulfilled.. I am full of love, and I couldn't be happier!!! :) :)

Footsteps in the Sand

Today I attended fast and testimony meeting. It has been a long long time since I have been to a fast and testimony meeting so I got to thinking what I would have to say if I were to have gotten up and shared my thoughts. The first thing that came to my mind was my favorite poem:



I do have a testimony on Faith and God. I have been brought to my knees many many times over the last 9 months, in fear.. pain.. hurt.. anger.. I often think I can not go on... there's no way I can get through this. The emotional dagger I feel in my heart is enough to finish me. But in these moments, when I'm humbly on my knees, begging and crying to the lord, its when I remember this poem. In these darkest hours that I feel so lost and alone, the Lord has not abandoned me. He is with me, carrying me through these trials. I feel a strong sense of comfort. I know he is with me, I know his arms are around me and he is holding me and whispering in my ear that everything is going to be ok. I have a saying.. "I know God won't give you anything you can't handle... I just wish he didn't trust me so much" This quote gives me the faith and strength that I need to continue on. God has faith in me. And in this situation, I have a beautiful sweet spirit that has chosen me as his earthly mother. He has chosen Me, right now, in this circumstance and situation. This sweet spirit is ready and has faith in me as well. How powerful is that??? The feeling I get when I think about that overwhelms me. I am overtaken with tears. God has Faith in me, my son has Faith in me... that's all I need to know that I HAVE FAITH IN MYSELF.

I am so grateful and thankful for God and the gift of prayer. I have the most amazing support from family, friends and church members but without God and prayer, I wouldn't have been able to find the strength I needed from within myself to get through this. So as the saying goes... Stay Strong... Carry On!!
