Covering the world in prayer: West Africa | World Vision


 be sure and read this article..... and you'll know just why West Africa needs our prayers SO much.

 don't forget about them.

The Killers - Be Still (Audio)

You guys.. .this song. i can't even tell you.
It just moves my soul!!!

If you're having a hard time and need to know you're not alone.  Here ya go.
Let it hug your little heart like it does mine.  (Yes, as cheesy as that sounds I mean it)

My Chemical Romance - "Burn Bright"

This song is literally like killing me. I loveeeeeeeeee it. The drums! The guitar riff. Holy cow.
YOu might as well just wrap me up in some cloth and let me be a mummy.

The Photojojo Store!

The Photojojo Store! Ooh child.  I just fell in love with this store. Someone wanna lend me some money and I'll go crazy!?!?!?

eh?

no... darn it.

Shenandoah - I Want To Be Loved Like That

Now I'm not romantic 99% of the time. haha I'm kind of a cynic at times... hopeful at other times.
But this song came on my shuffle and it's one that gets me EVERY SINGLE time.  I mean it's what people look for when they go looking for romantic relationships. Someone that loves you just the way you are... with all your faults.

It's just a great heartfelt song. I love it. And it is Valentine's day.. ugh... but you know. enjoy it.

BareMinerals Giveaway from Cut and Blow!

BareMinerals Giveaway from Cut and Blow!



ooh i just recently tried Bare Minerals and actually liked it!! I wasn't sure... I'm usually more of a liquid foundation girl. But it goes on smooth and lasts quite a bit, especially with some primer.
:)

check it!

Life Tests.... I kinda suck at them.

What's up?

Sorry for the fewwwww blog posts. I can't even tell you how much overtime I've worked in the past week. zzzzzzzz. I think i had like 5 hours of sleep in 2 days. I really don't know how I was standing up straight!


But I don't even know how to start this... I really don't.  I've got a dilemma. That I can't even truly divulge in.. because I can't say it out loud. For numerous reasons.  but it's just one of those things that you can CLEARLY see is a life test to see if you're ready for the next step... which I am! God, I am!!! But for some reason, it's like your brain forgets all the logic that you know and you go "uh uh... what?!?!!?" and you're soooooo freaking confused you can't see what's in front of you.
All you want is the goal and the life that belongs to you. But you just get this stupid test and you don't know how to pass it. And i've been praying, but I'm somehow still flunking. I know what I want. It isn't that. I know where I belong. I KNOW IT! So why can't I Pass????
I can pass any real test you throw at me...  but some life tests. FLUNK.
i don't get it. i just don't get it.
And it doesn't help the fact that I'm so exhausted and can't think clearly enough as it is....


ugh. It's weird.. how a few weeks ago, I was gonna write a blog about how I was so happy that I can finally see God puting pieces together for my future. I was SO HAPPY. So of course, the tests had to come.  See if I'm really ready. I swear, I am. I'm just having a bad week. :( bleh!!


But on the plus side.. in 6 days I'll be in Los Angeles with my friend Tiffany!!!! Thank God. I need that vacation. I need allllll of it!!!!!! :)

There'll be sad songs-Billy Ocean

dude. I love this song. Wayyyyy more than I should.

so i'm bring it lovey cheesy.. enjoy!

So go give it a shot!!

Kenny Chesney - El Cerrito Place

I love this song so much! The lyrics really touch a place in my heart.  Especially today when I'm just missing someone and wish I could tell him.. see him! Anything... But it doesn't stop me from always looking for him, even when he's not here.

Killings by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army plunged

Killings by Kony's Lord's Resistance Army plunged, report finds - latimes.com <-- great="" news="" p="">
I love Invisible Children ! They are a great organization trying to stop some horrendous things going on in Africa. Africa is VERY close to my heart, always has been. I just want to see it all stopped and have those kids returned to their homes and families.

i'm obsessed. i have to share it.

i can listen to this song on repeat for ever. haha i love it. just listen to it .

Amazing. People like this just inspire me and touch my heart!!!!! Doesn't matter who you are, you can make a difference!!!!!!


Glad to read this especially today.  5 years ago, my Daddy lost his battle with cancer.  Early diagnoses can be a life saver, in some cases.  So let's save them all. 

Sometimes- Hanson

now i know some of the people that follow this blog, know hanson. some of you don't.  Well I adore them (most of the time.........) But I love this old song. "Sometimes" it was recorded before they got famous, about a year or so before.  Sad it wasn't on their first album, but glad it got out at all and I heard it.

That's where they get me.. Free samples from Sephora.

Gosh I'm a sucker!

I get an email from Sephora (oohhh only one of my favorite places to shop online....besides Amazon) and they say something like "buy some stuff and you can get a whole bunch of free stuff" and I usually just hit delete......because I know me too well.
but I didn't today. Why? Because i'm going to California in 2 weeks.... and I want to have some awesome stuff to take with me so I'm as glamourous as the state!!!!!!!

 

oohh. i love it! I can't wait to try it!!

So I ended up getting this eyeshadow set for $26. I'm a sucker for a light sparkle!


and ending up getting a bag of free perfume samples! PLUS 3 other samples!!! (2 face creams and 1 perfume)  AND since I had 100 beauty points as a beauty insider... i got free mascara.

Those sneakyyyyy jerks! They get my money again!


Oh well. I should look cute!!! And smell cute.


If you want to head over.... be sure and use the code IMPRESS and pick your bag of free perfume samples. there are 4 different sets to choose from, I chose casual. but i am. haha so it fits

Bruno Mars - Money Make Her Smile

i was a little hesistant to get this album "Unorthodox Jukebox" but I really was pleasantly surprised!!!! Very good stuff
this is one of my favorites off of there. Verryyyy catchy!!!!

try to not dance!

"Somebody to Love " Queen w/ George Michael -- song of the day

 I remember watching this concert as a kid after Freddie Mercury died. I loved Queen and still do!!!! I didn't expect George Michael to mesh so well with these guys... but i loveeeeee it. What a great song.
i used to have the whole album... but this song was always the one that stood out to me. So it's the only one i have now. haha
Maybe I need to go look up the rest....

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!
