my life lately

as you can see, fall is in full swing here in Michigan and it is beautiful!

mmmmmmm nature

two sundays ago, my sister and i took a nature walk at a park just down the street.  it was so beautiful outside.  this time of year in michigan, the colors are so pretty.  every different hue of orange, red, and yellow.  the park that we went to didn't have near as much color that i have seen elsewhere, but it was still beautiful.

double wedding weekend

two weekends ago, a few lovely friends of mine got married!  travis and liz saturday and jake and josie sunday.   it was quite the busy weekend, but boy was it fun. both weddings were absolutely beautiful!  the weather was amazing, and i was just completely honored to be at both.

wow, i have such beautiful people in my life.

at jake and josie's wedding, my lovely friend margeaux and her fiance jordan played a little guitar and sang.  it was such a treat! :)

open up the heavens

hey all,

life's been a little crazy lately and I haven't had a ton of time to blog or be creative, or think actually, so sorry for my lack of posts.

Here's a verse I've been meditating on lately.   I've been trying to focus on seeing God's glory and letting in reign down in my life.

(also i wanted to use a brush set i downloaded on photoshop from here)

where have you seen God's glory lately?

are you always letting Him show His glory in your life?

happy monday!

need a laugh?

watch these...

my makeup routine

i thought it might be a neat idea to share what products i use for my everyday look.  i start at my favorite moisturizer and end at my the only mascara i've used for the past 10 years. as you'll see, i am a huge fan of sephora products(this is dangerous).  but i do have to say, even though they're a bit expensive, they really do work well.  especially the powder foundation from laura mercier.  it lasts all day and keeps my concealer in place as well.

so without further ado...

step 1 - st.ives timeless skin

step 2 - benefit boing concealer

step 3 - laura mercier pressed powder foundation

step 4 - sephora bronzer

step 5 - sephora blush

step 6 & 7 -  sephora collection eye shadow

step 8 - maybelliene unstoppable eye liner

step 9 - maybelline full n' soft mascara
