Sunday Inspiration

One particular song has been running through my mind. Normally if it's a typical catchy song on the radio, it can be somewhat annoying, but this one is beautiful and powerful. Upon reflection, this song is actually perfect for the current season of my life. I have a lot of new things taking place right now, and while I'm really enjoying everthing I'm working on, some days it feels as if challenges are beating me down or are reminding me of past failures, even if for a brief moment.

The song is called 'Our God is Greater' by the artist Chris Tomlin. Here is the Youtube video which displays the lyrics and some beautiful images too. I hope this song will inspire your day!



When the circumstances of life feel like they are taking over, overwhelming us and pushing us down, we need to remember that they are all but temporary. Our awesome and Almighty God is FOR us, so who then who could ever stop us or stand against? God is greater than ANY of our challenges and problems.

Have a blessed day!

How to Apply Eyeshadow Like a Pro

Have you ever wondered how to apply eyeshadow like a makeup artist? I've always felt that blush, mascara and lipstick are pretty straight forward but somehow when it comes to eyeshadow, I've never really figured out how to create that all-out glamorous look or perfect smoky eye. I typically use neutral browns and a bit of shimmer in the corners of the eye area to create a wider-eyed look and try to keep my makeup very natural looking.

Growing up my mom never taught me how to wear shadow as she encouraged me to stay away from makeup to keep my skin as pure as possible. Once I did start wearing some, I wore mascara but never really eyeshadow for a long time. I've got the gist of which colors go where in terms of intensity on the eyelid area, but have always wanted a really soft, dramatic, blended look that didn't look so 'everyday' for special occasions.

If you've been trying to figure the eyeshadow thing out too, then you're in luck. One of my blogger friends Sarah Mae of 'Like a 'Warm Cup of Coffee' recently posted this video below wherein her sister shows us how easy it is to make shadow work for you. I hope you'll check out her blog, she's got a lot of other great posts too!



Do you have any makeup or skincare tips that you want to share with us? Oh, and let me know if you found the video helpful. :) I tried out the tips mentioned and while it just required a small tweek in the way I applied my shadow, it turned out really pretty!
