Coming to an end (2012)

This year has has had it's ups and downs. Been pulled in ton of directions. Started off the new year,with meeting a great person, changed my life. I fell for him hard,then was broken. Now back to where I started-alone. Went to Spring Arbor for my freshmen year,it was a great chapter in my life, but now that dream has set sail,and now decided to set a different sail- started my Photography business a tad bit early then expected. I haven't decided if this is plan God has set for me,for right now, or waiting for something different to come along. It has been a hard few months for me, with all these new changes. My sister Katie is still attended Spring Arbor, and she is doing what God has set for her. Even with all these new changes, I am trying to see the good, the blessings that have come along with in these last few months. I got to meet a ton of new people while I was attended Spring Arbor, thank goodness for Facebook or I wouldn't be able to stay in contact with half of them. God has blessed me with starting my Photography a bit early, and being able to see my talent in the gift that God has set for me. I have an incredible eye for taking pictures. And I am able to take many photo sessions,as I visit my sister at school. About 2 months ago, I lost my cousin, Nick- to over dose on drugs. It was a horrible tragedy for my family, cousins, Aunts and Uncles. My family is still grieving over the lost, and during the time I lost my cousin, my family was blessed with a new little member in the family, my other cousin had a baby boy. Sometimes God works in mysterious ways, sometimes by turning the bad and making something good come to it,even at a time of losing a loved one. As my family is still sad with losing Nick, the family is still polling through, by sticking together- even though things may never be the same again. Also this year, I lost my second Mom,Lisa. It has not been easy for my family with losing her from cancer, but she is now with Jesus,and cancer free for life! We miss her so much, no one should have to lose a family member, friend, sister, brother, father, mother, daughter, son or grandparent- from cancer. It is a nasty sickness that people today, are still trying to find a cure. It is not easy, but with God on your side, you are not fighting alone.

Monat Beauty; What the rave is really about?

I got the opportunity to try some Monat beauty products from Katie Wood Hostetler. Never tried these products in my life, but I know tons of people who use these products everyday in their everyday lifestyle and routine, and I know ton of Monat Consultants through Facebook and Instagram. I was able to try these samples last night, as it was hair washing night; as we girls all know how that goes, haha! For starters; I have long, thick, black, curly hair,. I read the instructions throughly in the process of washing, and honestly; I don’t think these samples were enough for my hair to feel the benefits and results that everyone is raving about. I may have to purchase the full size products soon. But the products smell great, and I personally do not care for the Replenish Masque sample; as I wasn’t getting the full benefits of this and it made my hair feel like straw the next day, I would find this worth the money if  it actually restored  the  health of my hair. I have used less expensi

Charcoal Toothpaste, say whaaat??!!

Seeing how on Instagram now, you can basically follow any business company that sells products, which is great because I am one that loves to follow businesses/companies of products that I can either try or purchase eventually, or in this case, just email the business and ask if I can do a review on their products, and I received an instant “yes!” which I thought was great. I am enjoying being a blog Influencer, so I am giving my thoughts on this toothpaste; Hello activated Charcoal with fresh mint & coconut oil toothpaste.  I was intrigued to see an unfamiliar brand that’s focused on being all natural. I picked up the box and started reading the packaging. Words and phrases like: no dyes; no preservatives; and no artificial sweeteners caught my eye. Curious I turned the box over and continued to like what I read: Never tested on animals. Vegan + leaping bunny certified. 100% recyclable paperboard + printed with soy inks. “Wow,” I thought to myself, “Another brand focused

BeautyCounter Products

  Why I am choosing BeautyCounter Products so early before purchase? I got the opportunity to try a few different samples from Elizabeth Lee Walen. I’ve heard of BeautyCounter, but never tried out their products before. That’s the great thing about samples though! You can have that opportunity to try some, or recommend a particular product of your choice. I’ve been doing my research, and using the samples I’ve received thus far. But first; a little history about Beauty Counter products. Beauty Counter is an American direct retail skin care and costmetic brand.
