Faithful Friday: Don't Let Your Past Haunt You

Hello all! Thank you for joining me today and happy Faithful Friday to you! Today we will be talking about something that drifts in to my mind from time to time. I know I must not be alone so I decided to share this with you. You all know that my relationship with God is a HUGE part of my life. I make it a point to pray every morning and every night. I think that is the best way to start and end a day and it puts me in the right mindset to stay on track. There are times when thoughts will sneak their way into my head about things I have done in the past. I don't want to say that I regret but maybe a better way to put it is that if I could go back in time I would have maybe done things differently?? Even that doesn't really ring true. I don't regret my past because I think that certain experiences (good or bad) have shaped me into the person I am today. The reason why I am bringing this up is because I think I am in a good place in my spiritual journey. No, I am not ...

Cold Essentials

Hello friends! Today I will be sharing my essentials for the rather unpleasant times when I have a cold! I have been lucky enough to have my body invaded not once, but twice by this nasty bug and let me tell you...it was NOT fun!  I realize that some of these are well known facts but some of these products you might not know about so I thought I'd share them incase this lovely cold decides to pay your immune system a visit. Haha! 1. Vick's  Good ole Vick's! I smear this all over my nose (after blowing as much mucus out as possible. I know eww! But we're sick, remember?)  I also apply this to the bottom of my feet and put cotton socks on before bed. This makes me sleep without hacking up my lung every 5 seconds!  2.  Linus has a sinus wax from Fuss Ass McGee See! I knew my wax addiction served a purpose! This is pretty much Vick's in wax form. It is potent stuff! I place two cubes in the warmer in my bedroom and two cubes in my bathroom warmer and let it work it'...

Morphe 35T Palette: Swatches and First Impressions

Hello everyone! Thank you for joining me today. I hope you all had a great New Years weekend. I wish I could say I was put living it up but I was laid up sick all weekend. I know, boo! That being said I didn't wear a bit of makeup and thought I'd spare you the pain of looking at my sick mug in a tutorial. Haha! So I figured, why not swatch another Morphe palette!? Today I am showing swatches on the 35T palette and let me tell you, she is a beauty!! Let's get to it! Row 1- It was love at first swatch with this palette. The metallics are out of this world! The mattes are creamy and smooth.  Row 2- This row is picking up the metallic goodness in these shadows. This is going to have me throwing my matte palettes out the door (no, Adela. NO!) Row 3- The first shadow in this palette is a gorgeous duo chrome. When I first saw it I was instantly reminded of this Urban Decay shadow I had years ago. I can't remember the name of it but it was a reddish/brown/greenish shade. I know...
