Make Me Over ...

So, being that I've been late and absent from posting I decided to share some photos of work I did on my sister. If you follow me on Instagram (Carlanaomii) I'm sure you've seen them, but oh well, here they are ;)

I am not a professional; however I think I'm nice at what I do. Products used were MAC concealer NC35, MAC Bronzing Powder, Rimmel Brow Pencil, and a nude MAC lipstick, sorry I don't recall of the name. No foundation required. I personally dislike the heavy foundation, and think it should only be used for skin that has blemishes. Well anyway, Enjoy! :)

Thought of The Day

I am such a "quoteaholic" and starting today I will post a quote/thought each day. Here's one I found from a blogger on Google+ and I decided to share it with you guys ;). Have a great and productive day. Don't let the devil steal your joy.

Ugh, missed a sweet deal!

So last night while working a received an email around 11:30 from elf, which stated $275.00 value for $20.00 ... Now of course elf products are very reasonable , but I felt that this was a great offer. The sad thing is it was only for 3 hours :( and I've missed the deal. Hopefully it comes back around again.

Be Decisive! Daily Devotion From Joyce Meyer

Be Decisive!

Indecision is a miserable state to be in and certainly is not a fruit of the simple life. The apostle James said the double-minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Never making a decision because you're afraid you'll make the wrong one will get you nowhere. How much time do you think we waste when we can't make up our minds?

We often labor over the choices before us when we just need to make a decision and let it stand. This may be a simple example, but think about it: When you stand in front of your closet in the morning looking at all your clothes, just choose something and put it on. Don't go back and forth until you make yourself late for work!

Let me encourage you to start making decisions without second-guessing yourself or worrying about the choices you make. Don't be double-minded or wishy-washy because doubting your decisions after you make them will steal the enjoyment from everything you do. Make the best decisions you can and trust God with the results.

Prayer Starter: Holy Spirit, thank You for showing me that indecision doesn't really get me anywhere. Help me to let my "yes" be "yes," and my "no" be "no." I know I can't go wrong when I make decisions the best I can and simply trust You with the results.

Happy Hump Day

This is the day that The Lord has made ... Let us rejoice and be glad in it. For some reason Wednesday is starting to be my favorite day. Maybe it's because I get to sleep in a little later, run a few errands and just relax. Yes, it's my off day :) I think we all need a day off in the week to rest. Hope you guys are having a great day so far.

Daily Devotional From Joyce Meyer

Give Him Your Cares and Follow Your Heart

"To thine own heart be true," the old saying goes. It remains a timely and relevant life lesson that all of us would do well to remember. When we veer off the course that our heart is advising us to follow, we can make our lives very difficult.

Now I'm not talking about selfish desires. I'm talking about pursuing the desires that God puts in your heart. What do you want out of life? What do you believe is God's will for you? Are you pursuing it?

Some people have too many cares and worries that keep them from stepping out and following what's in their heart. They've decided it's out of their reach.

The Bible says we should cast all our cares upon God for He cares for us. Whatever worry you have that is keeping you from following your heart, you need to give it to God and let Him take care of it.

He wants you to follow the desire He's placed in you. Let God take care of your cares and follow your heart. You can trust Him. He cares for you!

Prayer Starter: God, sometimes I don't pursue what You've placed in my heart because of my worries and cares, so today, I give them to You. I know You can handle them, and You want me to be free to follow my heart.

Daily Devotional From Joyce Meyer

Living for God Is All That Matters

It takes boldness to follow God instead of the crowd. Being excessively concerned about what others think leads only to torment. Although all of us enjoy being well thought of, it is not possible to be liked by everyone all the time.

In God's economy, we usually have to be willing to lose something we have in order to gain what we really want in life, and that means we have to stop comparing ourselves to other people's standards and start living for God.

People who are real friends will help you be all God wants you to be. They won't judge you for following God's call. Real friends will encourage you to make God number one in your life.

Even if everyone else walks away from you, He promises to never leave you or forsake you.

Life gets too complicated, confusing and frustrating when we try to please both God and people. You don't have to compare yourself to anyone and worry what people think about you. Live life for God and be free to be who He made you to be.

Prayer Starter: Lord, I make a decision right now live for You alone. Living by other people's standards and expectations for me will get me nowhere. You are the only One who matters, and I will be the person You've made me to be.
