Fathful Friday: 32 Years of Reflection


Hello everyone!
I hope you've had a good week so far. As you might know, I had a birthday this week! Woo hoo! I am 32 now! Geeze! I don't really have a specific topic today, more just sharing things that have been on my mind lately, now that I'm older and wiser (wink, wink)

So... if you feel like "chatting", stick around!

The weeks leading up to my birthday were really hard for me, emotionally. I'm not going to be a downer and tell you about it. In a nutshell, it was like one thing after another was happening and it wasn't good. Anyway, needless to say I wasn't really looking forward to my birthday because I thought it was just another day and who cares? (Yes, I was being Eyore)

(^ ME)


We decided to celebrate my birthday the weekend before because my birthday was on a Tuesday (lame!) Oh, and I forgot to mention that my eldest nephew and I share a birthday so that makes them extra special. Even if I don't care about my own b-day I get excited for his. haha!
So we BBQ'd with the family on Saturday and it was great. My spirits were finally starting to lift. Over the next few days I really started to reflect on my life, this last year specifically. I have changed so much! I started working out a few weeks ago and I am feeling great! Mr. Adela Told Me and I have exciting plans for our future. I have the best support system a girl could ask for! It's not very often that you call your friends "family" and I do. It's amazing! Beyond all of this: all of these plans, my friends, my family, I serve an awesome God that makes all of this possible. He is the reason I am changing. He is the reason why I have so many people in my life to love and be loved by. 

Sooo...what's the point of this??? The point is, He gave me another year. Another year to serve Him, another year to make a difference. I hope that I change more this year than last. I hope that I am an example to you and that you can see His love through me. I am so thankful for this life and all of my blessings. Don't ever take even the smallest of blessings for granted. My plans for this 32nd year of life are: To start each day with a grateful heart, to praise Him even in tough times, to have faith without limits, to be an example of a strong Christian woman, to make the most out of each day, and to live my life to the fullest! 

One hard lesson I learned last year is that life is too short. Don't miss it! 
Don't wait for tomorrow. Do it today! 
Don't get so caught up in something that you miss your life!

I'm going to wrap up here. I hope you enjoyed this blab of mine. 

I hope you guys have a great weekend! See you on Monday :)

Until next time...
Xoxo,
Adela

Get Ready With Me: Sick, but you'd never know it!

Welcome back! We've all had days when we're feeling under the weather and would rather stay in bed all day. Unfortunately, life doesn't always allow us to do so. I had one of these days this past weekend... it was Jr. Prom night for my nephew which means, photos with Auntie (he loved it, trust me)  Here are my tips and tricks on how to look your best when you're feeling your worst.  Let's get started... First things first, start with a clean face. Then, moisturize and prime your skin. I used a heavier moisturizer under primer because my skin tends to get very dry when I'm not feeling well.  An oldie but goodie is Rimmel Fix & Perfect Pro Primer. This is about $5 at Target or drugstores. Concealing is always important. Especially when you're sick. I applied Age Rewind under my eyes and Dream Lumi around my nose to hide extra redness. I blended them in with my fingers using light patting motions.   I evened out my complexion with two fairly recent products...

Adela's at home pedicure

Welcome back! Spring is officially here which means warmer weather and cute sandals! It's time to get those tootsies back in shape! Now I can admit, a professional pedicure can be nice. But if you are short on time and want to save some cash why not do it at home? Today I'll share my at home pedicure routine. I do this year round (Once a month in the winter. Twice a month in the spring/summer). Let's get started... Here are the supplies you'll need: A towel Nail Polish remover Cotton balls Sugar scrub Bath Salts  Lotion Manicure kit Cuticle oil Cuticle remover  Rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle Nail file Buffer Pumice stone  Correcting pen Orange stick Clippers Cuticle clippers Base coat Top coat Polish of your choice  Large bowl to soak your feet I know that seems like a lot, you probably already have these items. If not, you can find most of them at your local dollar store.  Step 1. Remove old polish. This is the polish remover I use. Any brand will work. Step...

I went shopping!

Hello again, Let's be honest, we all love to see what others buy. I know I do! I've picked up some new beauty products and I thought I'd share them with you. This is several trips/purchases put together in one post. Grab a snack and some iced tea. It's going to be a long one!  Here are the goods. Some are repurchases, some are new. I can't wait to dig into these babies! I'll say a bit about each product.  Covergirl Clump Crusher- I've been a long time fan of Covergirl mascaras. Clump Crusher has made it's way into my favorite spot. It has a plastic brush with a curve to it so it easily reaches all of the lashes. As the name implies it doesn't clump AT ALL! I didn't believe it till I tried it and now I alway have a tube of this. I stock up when it's buy one get one 50% off.  I ordered the next three products off Hautelook a few weeks ago. This is the foundation I always use. It's several shades swirled together as a liquid then baked on a ...
