Faithful Friday: Why are you testing me???

Hi everyone,
I hope you've had a good week so far. Today I am going to share a frustration of mine. I can only assume that I am not alone in this. At least, I hope not. I planned on sharing this post because I have hopes that we can encourage each other.

Let's jump right in!
Do you ever feel like God is just constantly testing you? Like one thing after another is just getting on your last nerve and trying your patience?! I do (obviously) haha!
As you've learned in past posts and videos on my FB Group... there is a certain area of life that I am majorly struggling in. This "area" has been the source of stress more so than ever lately and I am more than ready for a change! Every time I would get frustrated and was ready to throw in the towel, I would ask God "Why are you testing me??" I still don't have a clear answer on the exact reason He is testing me but I have started to realize that I need to stay in this situation and make the best out of it. No, I don't like it. No, I don't want to be here anymore. Even though I don't understand why I am being tested and I don't know if I ever will, I have decided that it is best for me if I choose to have a positive attitude. What I have realized as I have grown in my faith over the years is that when I am being tested it's because something bigger and better is coming my way and He is preparing me for that role.

My advice to you is this, If you have been praying for certain things... Such as: Change in your life and circumstance. Then you are going to go through tests and how you react will dictate how He is able to use you. After all, if you sit and whine (like me) it may take you a bit longer to see His plans unfold in your life. A lot easier said than done, right? Right! I pray every morning to give me a positive outlook, I ask for His grace to help me get through the day. I tell Him straight up... I'm doing this for you even if I don't want to (I'm sure He laughs at that). It's hard when you're going through a growth spurt, friends! But I promise you that it is so worth it in the end.

I am going to wrap up here. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

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 ...
