Be beautiful

I have it on my heart to post this. To every girl who reads this: you are beautiful! God made you and and he doesn't make mistakes. You are who you are, a beautiful person inside and out. Be youself because everyone else is already taken. :) Be who you really are, be beautiful. God bless you beautiful women/girls.

Psalms 31:30
Charm is deceptive and beauty is is fleeting but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

Chapstick overload! :)

It's safe to say that I have a bit of an obsession for chapsticks. I have about 20 differant kinds if chapsticks and about 5 of the same kind. What? I like my lips moisturized. LOL. My best friend is thinks I need help because I have a chapsticks in every room I go in around my house. lol So, my "obsession" started last summer. I went to california for the summer with my sister and mom, It was a lot of fun! We all went to the beach and chilled out on some lounge chairs for a few hours and I didn't realize how sunny it was (I was wearing sunglasses) and didn't put any SPF chapstick on my lips... lets just say I came home with some badly sunburn lips. My lips hurt for 2-3 weeks straight... it stank. I really couldn't do much about it. After that I never wanted to go outside without chapstick on my lips and since then I never have. :) So, here is a post dedicated to my collection of chapsticks that have kept me from getting sunburned lips...again. Warning: this post inculdes a lot of pictures of chapsticks! lol

I'm am going to start by show my least favorite and least used ones first.

 

First is a bodyshop lip butter I got for christmas. I like it but I just don't like how it turns my lips white when I put to much on and I put a lot on when I use chapsticks. 

The next one is a nivea shimmer one. I don't really like this one for the same reason as the first, it makes my lips to white.

The next is a burts bees one, the name is island and it smells really good. I will probably use this one more during the summer as the smell reminds me of the beach. It's really moisturizing and nice.

This blistex one is pretty nice. I bought it when I had the sunburn and it helped a lot. I don't use it much because I have my favorites but I like to use it once in a while.

Another burt's bees that I like but don't use to much. The smell bothers me a little so I can't use it to often.

This burt's bees was one I got when I had the sunburn. I love it but I am almost out and I don't want to fork out $4 for a chapstick. ya know. Most of my chapsticks were on sale.

This softlips I love and think I will use more come summer because it is SPF 15 and the cherry smell is awesome!

I love this one for summer because it's great for moisture and it is SPF 30. I actually just bought a new one! summer here I come!

This is bagbalm and I did a post earlier about it (Find that here :)). This is a smaller container of it that I use only on my lips if they need some moisture fast. I don't use it to often because it doesn't smell like cherries or anything. I mean farmers use it for cows so they don't make it smell fufu but its awesome for moisturizing. 

This is the eos and I got it in strawberry and I love it. It's quick to use and has a little moisture to it. 

Vaseline rosy lips I got on amazon and I like to use when I want a little bit of pink on my lips during the day.

I love my carmex but I don't use it often because I have heard bad things about it. I only use it after I scrub my lips and it feels so good, it feel like my lips had a spa treatment.

I love this vaseline lip therapy original but I'm almost out and I dont want to buy more because of my coco butter one. 

I have the vaseline coco butter lip therapy and love it! 

This is the yes to pomegranate and it is SPF 15 so its great for summer! 

This is just a big vaseline coco butter I got before the lip therapy and I use this as chapstick too. It's great also!

One of the last is my yes to grapefruit lip balm. I love it because it's very moisturizing.

And last but so not least is my vaseline lip therapy in aloe vera. This is my very favorite lip balm! It is soo very moisturizing and awesome. It also smells amazing! 

Well thats all my lip balms and chapsticks. Hope it helps. Stay beautiful and God bless! :)

Today Today Today! YAY!

My first day of school was today... well really EC (enrichment classes) its a day for homeschoolers to get together and act like we are normal human beings. Lol ;) (pretty much a school for homeschoolers) Anyways I signed up for the yearbook staff... YAY! Because I am the only senior on the staff I am in charge of doing the senior pages and graduation. I have about 14 pages to finish in a ten week period:/. I know that sounds hard along with my school, a acting class I have, and a dance class but I am so excited! XD I love a good challenge! I am so ready to take on the semester!

My acting class is Fractured Fairy Tales. I am going to be Little Red Riding Hoodie. (My idea) :) the idea was to try and get a modern day Little Red. XD

My dance class is English Country dancing. My partner today happened to be a awesome guy! Anyway we are going to perform on the last day of the ten week period or what we call "Evening of Enrichment" (a night were all the kids get to show what we did and learned) . That will be a blast! I am really nervous though :/.

My life right now in a nutshell!

Just a quick update to say whats been going on. First off: A friend of mine who has quickly taken the title "best guy friend" in my book, has just come back from a month long trip to Europe! Yay! So happy! I finally get to hang out with him this Friday ! Can't wait! Second: I am trying to learn to play the ukulele with my little brother on the one he got for Christmas.  I love singing but I would love to learn how to play an instrument other than the piano. I have wanted to learn to play the ukulele for a long time and now finally get to. Third: I am pumped for my 18th birthday in just 2 weeks! Fourth: My graduation. I don't really know how I feel about that yet. I am not fond of growing up. :( Last but so not least is PROM! This will be my second year of going and my date is the guy mentioned at the top of this post! I am so excited!  So can't wait!
Anyway that's my life right now in a nutshell. Please be praying for me as I'll be for you.  God bless you all! Have a awesome week!

Merry Christmas!

This picture isn't the nativity but it's a real reindeer and i thought y'all might like it. :)

I just wanted to post to say merry Christmas and hope it was great! Merry Christmas! 

Winter, December, and Christmas!

I am in love with winter, December, and Christmas! I'm actually one of those weird people who is more excited about someone opening the present I got them rather than my presents from other people. haha XD
My favorite thing about Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ (Even though he wasn't born on Christmas :)) and spending time with my family! One of the things we like to do as a family on Christmas is tell funny stories about our childhood. What is something your family does on Christmas?


Now that I'm talking about Christmas and Christmas presents. I went shopping with a friend just yesterday and bought a lot of Christmas presents (we were also being goofy weirdos haha). Now I can't tell you the presents I got for people because they read my blog... So I thought I would show the presents I got for myself and for my horses. I usually don't get presents for myself but I had enough money so I thought 'what the heck!'. I had planed to get some makeup for myself but my friend wanted to go to tractor supply first. I ended up getting all my stuff there. I am such a country girl! instead of make up I get a new knife and work hat! haha.

I thought I would include this picture I took because it is prefect at describing me. :D

The first was a new work hat! YAY! I really needed one. The next was a new knife which I got for only $12! It is so awesome! I love it! My friend needed one to so now we have matching knives. Haha. The same freind told me about this awesome "Hoofmaker" lotion by "Mane 'n Tail". This lotion can be used to help strengthen horses hooves (hince the name "hoofmaker" ). Of course I haven't had it long enough to tell how well it works (I love the feel of it) but my friend has really weak nails but her nails have been really strong since she used this lotion! Def worth a try! BTW it's only $2.99 at tractor supply! The shampoo came as a value pack with the lotion for only $5.00! I just couldn't say no! I am going to give my horse a bath this weekend using this shampoo and putting the lotion on her hooves too! Last but def not least is my bot egg knife. My horse Lady gets bot eggs really bad and just using razors wasn't working, so I got this. I have used one of these on a friends horse and it works so well! Best part it was only $3.49!
  


Hope you liked this haul! It was a lot of fun writing and shopping! XD Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!

Be beautiful, Be you!

E.l.f. Haul!

So I know it's Christmas and I am suppose to be buying for my family but e.l.f was having a deal and I couldn't resist. ;) I am putting pics of everything I got... which is a lot... so beware!

  My big bag of e.l.f. XD.   

My first thing: lip balm! Second: I got the powder blemish kit. Then some brush shampoo. I have heard that you can use baby shampoo but I like this better. Next, this mist and set.  I have heard about highlighters. So I figured that for a buck or 2 I try it. So far, so good! :) I have never tried false lashes and for 2 bucks... I like them. Next eyebrow stencils. I gave these to a friend because she like them and I have thick eyebrows so I didn't need them for filling in any eyebrows.  

      

I am 17 and yet I have problems with eye bags. (I know its weird but I do. :/) So I got this eye refresh and it helps in the morning in waking up my eyes. You know being a teen you get pimples. So I thought I would try the zit zapper and I like. 

   

The eye shadows came to me free and I was very happy when I got them but... they are black and grey colors and I have brown eyes so... it didn't work with my eyes very well so I gave them to my friend because they looked very pretty with her blue eyes. :) So they live with her now.

I have a small... okay big obsession with make up brushes. So I got a bunch of brushes and I don't think I can name them all but its a bunch. Well I do some other posts I will mention these brushes so you will see them then.

I'm sorry what I wrote was in line with the pictures. :( 

Anyway hope you like my haul. :)

I thought you might want to know who is writing this blog. here is the most recent picture of me. :)

                                            

                                             Do you have anything from e.l.f? Do you like e.l.f?

Be beautiful! Be you!

                                   

Mascara review

I have always loved maybelline mascaras! Now I love them even more!
I got the colossal and falsies mascara about 3 weeks ago and love them! The colossal mascara, well it was love at first site. It is so amazing! It gives great volume and length. I just love it so much! lol


Now the falsies, I had heard great things about this mascara and really wanted to try it. I love trying new things. Even my older sister who has told me everything I know about makeup said it was great so I had to try it! I got it and to be honest I didn't like it at all. It was very clumpy. So I was about to throw it out but because I hate throwing make up out I decided to give it another shot...and I still didn't like it but I couldn't bear to throw it out. As I love cherrytruth2 blog she said in a post about mascara to wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes...so I tryed it with that mascara. Now it works great and I love it.

These mascaras have become my favorite mascaras by maybelline. They go on so smooth and with almost no clumps at all! I so recommend these mascaras! I also recommend that I you have skin like mine (trying new things doesn't make you break out) to try new products... you may be surprised at what you find, I know I was. :)

                                                   

                                                                  Be beautiful, be you!

My Life The Past Weeks!

I know most of the posts on my blog are about beauty products but this is a post about my life. Okay, so... I am a complete country girl! I love dirt, tractors, and horses! When it comes to guys, being a country girl means I like country guys. You know, the ones with belt buckles, boots, and ball caps ;) Well I have a chance with a country guy like that, but I'm not sure if I want to take it, because he is pretty darn awkward. I’ll explain. It's pretty cliché how we met. If you can figure, my story starts at a rodeo. This is a long story, so get comfy, and grab some popcorn. Wait! Scratch the popcorn, because you might be choking on it from laughing so hard by the end if this story. Well I had decided to go to a rodeo with my best friend, Ann, one evening. For a while it was boots, dust, and good- ol country stuff. Sounds like a fun night, right? Wrong.

Well, to beat around the bush it was fun until everything happened at once. Ann and I got stuck in the parking lot because her poor truck wouldn't start. Thankfully a couple of country boys offered to help us. They jumped our truck and we were off to the races. To make sure we got "home safe" ;) they asked for our numbers. So, we made it home that night and didn't realize that was not the last of our adventures, nor the last we had seen of them… Sure, this guy, Dan, texted me a little. But MAN was he awkward! I swear he wouldn't know how to have a normal, social conversation with any girl in the world, nor did he have the slightest idea how to conduct himself in front of one in person. I’ll explain.

So, as it turns out my best friend, Ann, had previous plans to go to an upcoming rodeo, and I thought I’d tag along. Turns out these hairy- legged boys would be at the rodeo too, that weekend. So, when we got there we ended up bumping into them, no, literally, we practically did run into them on our way to the stands. They asked if we wanted to sit together, so, we said sure.

Why the heck we said that? I have no clue.

These guys were polite, but just as awkward. We sat down to a nice view, but I noticed, that guy, Dan, was still standing.

I mean geez, there was practically a whole row of empty seats and he just stands there. As the rodeo went on, I had to smell my armpits to make sure I wasn't the one scaring him off. *sniff*. Nope. Armpits are clear. I think the guy was just shy because seriously he was like a football field away. ”Oh yeah, let’s sit together, so I can yell at you though a megaphone just to talk to you.” AWKWARD…

Oh well. You have to feel sorry for the guy… anyways, it was a fun night other than the awkwardness.

Any hairy-legged boys out there: beware of the armpits, because, man, apparently they stink!

If you were not laughing your rear off from this story, then you need some help, because you have some serious problems!

Do to the fact that this is the internet; names in this story were changed for the safety of those people.

Watermelon snowcone!!!!
