Good morning!

I’m going to keep my words brief, but I finally did a video tutorial on how I style my hair.

I style my hair this way because I watched video’s from Kate at the Small Things Blog and used some of her tips.

So this is your chance to head to her blog and see a professional versus me, a not so professional.

One of the products I talk about is Aquage root lifter. Kate also suggested using Aquage if you want volume.

I have to say it works great!

Making these videos is quite funny so I thought I’d share one of my many bloopers with you. Enjoy!

Now for the real tutorial. I hope this helps and I’m sorry it’s still a little long. I tried to cut out as much as possible!

I already have my hair blown dry and up in clips. I usually blow dry my hair with my head turned upside down and then I use a roll brush on my ends.

Yes, I always wear earrings when I style my hair {wink}.

Well, what do you think? Did that help? (Kind, constructive criticism would be appreciated.)

Also I still need you to help me with my sponsorship to BlissDom and you could win a $25 AMEX gift card so head over here.

Beauty For the Heart~~Faith is not based on what we can see, it’s based on what He can see and He can see the big picture (my Mom had this written in her Bible and I thought I’d share it with you, so true!)

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1

Good morning! Thank you all for your sweet comments about my crazy pop of color in my hair.

I’m getting a little more use to it and I may or may not keep it for very long. It’s still up in the air!

My sister has asked me to not do anything until she sees it in person. I think she wants a good laugh.

Today I wanted to share with you 5 makeup essentials that will help you on those days when you’re in a hurry.

I think most women look better with a little bit of make-up. I know I do!

Some days we don’t have time to bother with a lot of make-up but these 5 essentials will get you out the door and looking fabulous.

• Lipstick or lip gloss~if you wear nothing else, apply this. It brightens your face and will give you immediate color.

• Mascara~gives your eyes a lift.

• Cheek color~gives you a beautiful glow.

• Concealer~I always wear concealer under my eyes. I would sleep with it on if I could. It overs blemishes and dark circles quick and easy.

• Powder~if you don’t have time to apply foundation, brush some powder on to even your skin tone and reduce the shine.

Beauty For the Heart~This morning I’m babysitting Colt Allen while Courtney goes to MOPS. I cherish these moments and I wish I could freeze time. I want to soak up his every move, the way he smiles and slobbers~~it’s adorable! I can hardly believe how quickly time passes so I’m savoring these precious moments. 

Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Psalm 127:3

My friend Kris writes about this very thing today at Sisters in Bloom. I hope you’ll stop by and read her beautiful post called Flap Your Wings.

Have a blessed day friends and know you are loved by the Great I AM!

Happy Hump Day! I hope you’re have a good week. It’s been interesting here. It all started with Pinterest. Oh Pinterest, you can be dangerous for us ladies!

I have a busy day of appointments today. Hair appointment, exercise class, and my annual eye appointment. I’m having to wear my eyeglasses more and more and I don’t love wearing them. I took this picture of me in eyeglasses a few weeks ago. I’ve had these for several years and I think I’m ready [...]
