Faithful Friday: What I am thankful for

Hello again and Happy Friday to you all! Getting all geared up for Thanksgiving next week? I sure am. I was wondering...Do you have any Thanksgiving traditions? We really don't but I would like to get one started so please share your ideas! Thanksgiving is probably my favorite Holiday because it is centered around family and being thankful. I always find that I feel extra blessed during this time of year, it could be that I actually am extra blessed or that I am just more aware of it. Either way, I love this holiday! No gifts, no hustle and bustle. Just quality time with the ones you love (and the ones you tolerate. HAHA!)

On the dining room table you will find this ad...

Brows: Grooming, Shaping, Filling In

For those of you that don't know, my Mom had knee replacement surgery and I was giving that my attention. Thankfully she is doing better than expected and pain is very minimal. Thank you so much for your prayers and well wishes, she and I (and the entire Adela Told Me family) appreciate it. On to the post! I have been growing my eye brows out for months now to get them good and unruly for this post. You all know how much I obsess over my brows so I thought I should walk you through how I groom, shape, and fill them in. Here we go! These are my must have tools and products for my brows. I will walk you through each one during the tutorial. Before I begin, I want to tell you that some people groom and shape when their brows are filled in so they don't get out of control and over pluck. I know the brow shape I am going for so I am abl...
