My Review
I like this foundation! It was soft and very gentle on my skin. I was able to blend it in with the Stratus Instant Skin Perfector. The foundation's color was perfect for me skin, it gave it a wonderful glow that looked very natural. My skin could breath with the foundation and I could not find anything that is wrong with it, except that I wish the product had more "staying" power. I used a make-up stay spray and with it was perfect! I would buy this product again and again

My Review
I not sure about this product. I like it, but then I'm not sure if I would buy this again. The thing I did not really like about it was the color and the product also does not bled with the foundation as well as I would have liked. I think this product is worth trying, I probably would like to had have gotten a different shade of the blush, the shade was a bit to red for me. I would recommend  this product to others, I think it is a very good idea, and overall a good product

Then Sings My Soul Book Review

Then Sings My Soul, Book 3 is the third book in a trilogy about hymns. The author, Robert Morgan, takes us on a historical journey of the church and how hymns have changed over the years. The book covers these various segments:
  • Biblical Hymns
  • Medieval Hymns
  • English Hymns
  • Ancient Hymns
  • German Hymns
  • Gospel Songs
  • Contemporary Praise

I Can't sing, nor play all of the song in this book, but I sure did enjoy reading about each of the hymns. The Author tell us about each hymn: it tells us who the author is and about the author, it also tells why the song was writting. I thought this was very interesting. I love learning about things like this. If only in my classes did I learn about facts like these. 

The author wrote about several hymns I already knew, but  there were as well many, many, many more I had never heard of. I enjoyed reading about the hymns I did not know, but I also liked reading about the songs I did know. 


I would recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in hymnology, or in using hymns as a part of their daily devotions.





I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their book review program. I was not required to write a positive review; the opinions expressed are my own.

Lucy and the Red-Tailed Hawk ~ Book Review

About The Story 
Writer Diane Cerone, inspiration was not what she saw, but what her two-year-old granddaughter Gretchen saw: a big bird dangling from a tree.
The big bird turned out to be a rehabilitated red-tailed hawk now working in nature-education programs. The hawk had escaped its handler that morning, and the bird’s leash was tangled in the branches of the tree. Thanks to Gretchen’s sharp eyes, the bird was rescued.
Cerone turned this real-life event into Lucy and the Red-tailed Hawk, a little book for children and for adults to read to children. Lois Auer, who has a federal permit to rehabilitate birds of prey, drew the illustrations.

My Review:
I loved this story.. It was very sweet. This is a great book for kids to read once they know a few words. It will help them to read better. The plot of the story is very simple and in my opinion it was very cute and would be a great book for young kids to read. You should check this book out.. I would recommend this book!

More Beauty Less Beast Book Review

About the Book: With her own offbeat brand of wit and near-wisdom, inspirational humorist Debora Coty addresses heart needs of women struggling to tame that out-of-control inner beast that unexpectedly pounces, roaring and shredding, as it threatens to destroy the divinely beautiful princess hidden within. In More Beauty, Less Beast, women will find simple, practical techniques for embracing the true beauty rightfully theirs as cherished daughters of the King. Whether jaded by emotional wounds, unrealistic standards, or lack of confidence, this laugh-out-loud, girlfriend-to-girlfriend encouragement will help women transform their destructive inner beast into the exquisite beauty they were always meant to be.


About the Author: Debora Coty is an occupational therapist, a piano teacher, and a freelance writer. She’s also involved in the children’s ministry at her church and is an avid tennis player. Debora began writing to fill the void when her last child left for college, and it has since become a passion. Debora has a real knack for getting across sound biblical concepts with a refreshing lightheartedness as attested in her monthly newspaper column entitled “Grace Notes: God’s Grace for Everyday Living.” Visit www.deboracoty.com for more about Debora and her books.


My Opinion:
This book is broken down into four sections, with several chapters in each section that have such interesting titles. The sections are:
1. Outer Beauty
2. Inner Beauty
3.Undergarments by Fruit of the Spirit (Not The Loom)
4.Beautifying my world

 This is one of those book that I really, really like. I'm sure not everyone could or would have related to this book 100%, but I'm sure 99% of the population would. People like to look good, not bad, right? There are many things in this book that will build your self esteem, Actually one of the best self esteem builder in a book I have ever read. the author put many bible verses in each section to uplift and inspire you. I really enjoyed reading this book..


I would recommend this book to friends.

My Review
I loved using this product. When I use my skin care items I most always add a small drop to it before using it. I love how it feels after using it with shampoo.  I love that they don't add anything to the ingredts. The only thing that is in this product is 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil. I would buy this product again and again.

My Review
I did not think I was going to like this product at first. I used it and it seemed to be very hard and was unable to lather very well. I soon found it that it just need a few minutes for it to lather. I guess this is normal for 100% natural  and organic soap!  After using this product my skin are NOT dry at all. It made my skin feel fresh and new. I really love using this product, and I'm sooo happy I still have some left!
