I am an idea person and sometimes my ideas don’t get very far. I am testing this one out. I was praying about how I can encourage and influence women this morning. I have been thinking about that a lot lately. I also have to choose from something I am good at and that I enjoy or I won’t do it for long. So, I thought I’d put some of those things down in writing. What defines me: ~Committed follower of Jesus Christ ~Wife ~Mother of 2 children (Naomi, 2 and Titus, 1) ~Esthetician (skin care specialist) Passions and Interests: ~Reading ~Motherhood ~People ~All things fashion ~Skincare ~Makeup ~Household management ~Garage Sales I’m going to start this blog focusing on beauty. I believe that beauty is much more than skin deep. I have noticed that some women become more beautiful as you get to know them and unfortunately, some women become less beautiful. I know that outer beauty changes and fades, but inner beauty… it keeps on giving! So, I want to focus on both outward and inward beauty. I’ll be doing research and trying different beauty products that are on the market and will be sharing with you some affordable (and even cheap!), effective options that are available (Ex. sunless tanner, BB (beauty balm) creams, bronzers, mineral makeup and more). Ever wonder what sunless tanner goes on easily without streaking, how to apply it or how much to apply? I’m going to test it out and let you know! I often stumble upon treasures at garage sales that I’ll have to share with you! Sometimes it’s something for me like a black, brand new with tags Madewell maxi skirt, or a yellow, knit Vince sweater. At other times it may be 2 fabulous Anthropologie pillows for my living room, West Elm shams for my bedroom or CrewCuts duds for my sweet babies. Living in Dallas definitely has its perks! If you want, I’ll share some garage saling tips with you as well so you can share in the bounty. I also mentioned that I enjoy reading. I believe that what is inside of us comes out. So, I try to read Scripture every day but I also try to read all kinds of books that can help broaden me as a person. I started trying to read Scripture and another book every day before I allowed myself to watch t.v. I had to do something because I recently got hooked on 2 t.v. shows. I love Psych and White Collar! So, it’s been really good to renew and develop my mind instead of just checking out by watching t.v. every time I have a break. So, I’ll be sharing some of what I read with you too. I hope for this blog encourages you. I’m sure it will change over time. This is my fist shot at a blog. Hopefully, it will improve. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
