Beauty Water


I usually chug a bottle of water (20oz) in the morning and one before going to bed.
I try to sip on a bottle of water through the night. 
It seems the more you drink - the more you have to have it.
It's like a GOOD drug. Water has so many wonderful benefits.
Good for detoxing the body. Good for your skin. Weightloss.  And the list goes on and on. So why do I find myself having such a hard time drinking it during the day???!!!!!!!! 
What is it about this drink that presents me with such mental anguish?  
I used to be addicted to Diet Coke. And I don't mean I just liked it.
It was a serious addiction.  I feel awful because I am responsible for my
husbands addiction to it too!!  I am not so proud of that. :-(
BUT, for almost a year now I have just about put the Diet Coke down for good.
So it's all good, right?   Welllllll, seems I replaced it with Dt Mt Dew.  
Ok I swapped one bad drink for another. I just love and feel like I have to have
the "kick" that they provide.
So to get a handle on this craziness I have moved on to Sweet Tea.
I'm from the south so it really is the obvious choice.
As with everything else ( exception being water ) it has a downfall too.  Sugar.
Ugh. That's not good for the scale!!!!  
 So,...my eternal quest to be good,
and do the right thing,
and  ENJOY  IT
continues.



But on a happy note, I'm loving my wedge TOMS and lilac polish.
Ahhhhhh happiness. 

What about you, is drinking water a pleasure or challenge for you?

    HI Jenny! Thanks so much for visiting me today! Loved your comments :) I am following you now as well! And, yes drinking water is a challenge but I have been really trying to make it my drink of choice (when wine is not an option) and it does make a huge difference. Skin, weight, everything is better with water. Looking forward to more posts! Angie

Sleek, Shiny Braided Chignon

This is such a pretty look.  It goes super dressed up or super casual. Either way, it's a classic with an interesting twist. One that is sure to make others want to get a closer look to see how you did it. And the big bonus is, it is SO easy. Love easy! So we are borrowing a few pics from an earlier post, the  braided bun . (click on "braided bun" to take you there) So first, we start off with a braided ponytail.  This can be high on the head or lower. I'll elaborate on that at the end of the post. Then give the braid a slight tug to loosen and soften the braid.  It'll make the braid more pliable. Now just simply wrap the braid around your ponytail band and tuck the ends under. Pin on bottom first then pin on top to secure. Pin around the edges and since a braid is heavier and stiffer, it may take a few pins to make sure it holds. Sorry there aren't any pics of this stage but it's hard to snap all the steps. ...

Beauty and the Bible

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. "He will beautify the humble with salvation"~~ If God were my Rachel Zoe, my own personal stylist, He would first choose to clothe me in salvation. "..Clothe me in salvation". Before He can do this He has to get me ready for my style session. This takes a bit of planning and thought. God must set the stage, so to speak. A good stylist plans, prepares, gathers needed material, and gets a full vision for the overall and complete look. In this case, I was so unattractive or plainly said, ugly as sin or maybe better to say "ugly with sin". This sin is so ugly that He cannot even look on me. If we started here God wouldn't even be able to take my measurements. God cannot be with sin. He sees this as a problem that must be fixed. We've got to wash sin away. The sin must go before anything can be done. As you've seen on What Not To Wear ...

Beauty & the Bible The Collection pt 4: "Ocean"

Moving on. If you're new to the blog, PLEASE go back and read the 3 previous entries. I know it'll be worth it. And thanks, I'm glad you're here! As a recap, I'm imagining God as my personal stylist. I've tried on 3 looks so far during my style session. You've got to read all about it. "Salvation", "Active Wear", and "Fierce". All very different looks but equally essential parts of this collection. As I look around for my next look I feel God going in a very different direction. A bit more serene. --I've been saved---I'm running here, there, and everywhere---I've even done some spriritual battle. But I can feel a draw that is pulling me to an outfit that's not so much for show but more for a comfortable, sweet, bonding time. I can't help but think of white, light, gauzy like material. So of course I imagine that God has planted me on the beach. In the late afternoon I can feel the light warmth ...
