Skin Care For Spring

Spring is finally here... Winter has left the building!

With that being said, our skin holds more water in the spring and summer. So we don't need as much moisturizer; we can go lighter.

But we do need an SPF of at least 30+ and aloe for after-sun care! And don't forget your lips and sun hat to protect your face...

Exfoliating is a great way to get rid of dead skin cells, so our skin can breathe and our pores can unlock. You don't need anything harsh. A small amount of glycolic acid will do the trick.

Spring clean your products. Throw out anything over 6 months old. Old products can host bacteria, which will make your skin dull and will clog pores. Makeup brushes should be washed once a week and dried with a hair dryer.

Simple Rules: Go lighter with your moisturizer and makeup, and use fresh products and clean items; SPF 30+ (I would suggest OIL OF OLAY) for daily routine, and aloe (organic pure aloe) after being outside!

Facial mists are a great way to cool down, instead of wiping or rubbing skin — to keep skin clear and bacteria-free.

Also: Don't forget your fruits and veggies! They are good for the skin!

Last, but not least — WATER for hydration!

Happy Spring!!

God Bless

The Worry Box

If you are the type to worry, make a worry box!

Write down everything that is bothering you that day! Before you go to bed take them out, take a deep breath and pray about it. Breathe again, throw them away, and let it go. Release all the worries at Jesus's feet!

This goes for everything! If you are upset, mad, hurt; whatever the emotion is, lay it down before you go to sleep.

Don't go to bed with emotions flying! Make peace with it and let it go!

Not easy at all, but when you build a relationship with God, He will listen, He hears you, and He will never forsake you!!

Now, everyone needs someone to talk to. Find that one person you can trust to talk to, because sometimes we need someone to listen... to hear us... to understand... a special someone to lean on. But with that being said, do not gossip or post about it; do not let it go any further than you and your trusted someone(preferably a Christian Counselor) and the 1# one to go too is God! Everything in prayer
and supplication!

I hope this helps! I am sure those boxes will get full sometimes; maybe even run over. But there is nothing... absolutely nothing that you and God can't handle! God Bless!!

Social Media Blindness

Today we live in a world of Social Media Blindness!

It is truly sad what this world has become, most people live in a fantasy world!

Social Media has become one of the greatest addictions!

Isn't it ironic, how social media was made to make friends, keep in touch, build businesses, and for fun! But at the same time it has destroyed relationships, cost people their jobs, and destroyed families! People spend more time on their phones, computers and gaming devices, than they do in real life! Nothing wrong with this at all, from time to time! Just dont let it consume you!

I have seen people out together, not even speaking because they are on their phones!!

What happened to family sticking up for one another having each others back and being there, through hell or high waters? What about being loyal and standing their ground against anyone who dares to do anything against one of them? But anymore, each is for their own, instead of standing up for one another, family members turn on each other and do each other wrong, what's up with that?

Of course with that being said, if a family member is abusing you, or toxic in anyway, you have the right to cut them out of your life, family or not, yes forgive and ask God to bless them, but sometimes you have to put up healthy boundaries.

What happened to ride or die friends? I am talking about guys and their guy friends, girls and their girl friends. But now days each is for their own, it's like whatever! No one seems to care about anyone else but themselves!  Sad really!

And do I dare speak about relationships? They should be respectful, faithful, loyal and trusting, loving, kind and understanding, with great communication! And they should never allow anyone to come between that! Stand up for your partner, have their back! Love is a choice, choose to always do what's right! Never do anything you wouldn't want them doing to you! Be the person, you want them to be.

But anymore-people just think of themselves!

Don't ignore the people in your life who are there in the real world over social media! Don't lose sight of the people who truly have your back! Don't allow toxic people in your life either! Ask God to forgive them and bless them, and move on!

God says to love and forgive, but that doesn't mean, we have to allow fake and toxic people in our life, no matter who they are! Not everyone who talks, smiles, and comments is your friend, people fake it very well!  They are looking for a way to come in and destroy! The devil is working overtime, he came to this earth, to kill, steal and destroy!! So be careful, because even wolves wear sheep's clothing!

God wants us to have a happy life, he wants us to have joy in our hearts and we can through him. We can have joy in our hearts because we are saved and have him in our life. But he also wants us to be happy here on earth.

Social Media can be the devils stomping ground in disguise destroying friendships, destroying families and relationships! Some people don't even care, they make it their goal to come in like a saint and destroy what they can! The devil is disguised as something great, to fool you! Some people don't care if a person is taken, they will slither their way in acting all sweet and looking good, saying all the right things and make it a game just to see if they can! Watch out for the Jezebel spirits they are everywhere!!

It's a shame I have to say this, but you truly don't know someone until you meet and spend time with them. People pretend and say anything, doesn't mean it's TRUE! They could have pics photo-shopped or it might not be them at all. Don't lose sight of what's real, and don't lose what's real over social media!!

I would love to see people bring morals and values back! I would love to see people bring love, respect, trust and loyalty back! I would love to see people bring honesty and great communication back! And I would love to see people actually sticking together through everything and not worry about that person going anywhere or turning to someone else! Let's take a stand and fight for what's right!

 God Bless !!
