Monthly Favorites: February

Hi Everyone, Today we are talking favorites again. I don't know why, but these posts always seem to sneak up on me! Again, another month has passed us by and Easter is just around the corner! If this is your first time joining me, Thank you for coming by!  As usual I will tell you a bit about each product and why it is a favorite of mine. I will link to as many products as I can below each post.  Here we go! Favorite Candle: Mainstays (Walmart) Garden Rain http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-4-pc-11.5-oz-Jar-Candle-Garden-Rain-Blue/31955280 You all know how much I LOVE home fragrance. If you didn't know that, now you do! I have smelly stuff all over my house. I always want my house to smell good when people walk into it. Or even just us. haha! I have candles lit, Wall Flowers plugged in, and warmers going all the time. I have melted through almost my entire wax stash so I am constantly browsing the aisles at Walmart for new waxes and candles. I was in Walm...

Faithful Friday: Fruit of The Spirit: Joy

Hi guys! Today we are continuing on with our Fruit of The Spirit Series. Today we will talk about the second fruit which is  Joy . If you missed last weeks post, where we talked about Love. Did you complete the assignment and show love 7 times this past week? I did! But I totally forgot to log them. I have to admit, it felt pretty good spreading love around! The link below will take you to last week's post. http://adelatoldme.blogspot.com/2016/02/faithful-friday-fruit-of-spirit-love.html If this is your first time joining in on this series I will include the same photo that outlines the topics we will talk about over the next couple of weeks... Let's get joyful! That song "I've got the joy, joy, joy, joy, joy in my heart. Where? Down in my heart" has been stuck in my head since I started this post! Now I am sure it is stuck in yours too. Sorry! haha! The first thing I think about when I hear the word "Joy" is a bible study I did mont...

New Products and Rambles

Hello again, Today I thought it would be fun to talk about some new products. Most of which I have used at least once so I can give my thoughts on them so far. I will link to the products below in case you'd like to check them out yourself. Here we go! I'm starting off with Clinique Take the day off cleansing balm. I have used this a handful of times. This is a very interesting product and unlike anything I have ever tried before. You can see from the photo that the product is a solid balm but it melts once it meets your body temperature, or I'm guessing if it were exposed to any heat source. I swirl clean finger tips into this product and then massage into my face. Make up literally melts off. This is a very hydrating product and I did notice that it didn't make my oily areas any more oily than usual. Which I was thrilled about. I'm sure it will take me quite some time to get through this tub because I don't use it every day. But I am tempted to ...

Go To Makeup Look Using Affordable Shadows

Hi everyone! Thank you for being patient about this post. I was finally able to edit these pictures (I had about 20 minutes before I clocked in at work this morning so if some of them are a little off, that is why. I was in a crazy rush!) Today I am sharing a look that I wear A LOT. This is my go to look (hence the name) that I do when I don't really know what I am going to wear or just don't feel like putting on eye liner. It is a very pretty look and once you get the technique down, I can slap this baby on in no time. Here is a preview of the finished look. Fresh, effortless, and goes with anything. Let's get to it! You have heard me talk about this palette before. I am telling you, this is a wonderful palette to add to your collection. Especially if you are just getting into matte shadows. It's full price is $10 but when elf has a sale, get it! I got mine for $5 and I plan on getting a back up the next time a sale goes on.  ...
