#1- Skincare Products
Okay, so I am a sucker for skincare products. My skin is kind of sensitive so I have to be careful what I use on my skin!
Neutrogena is my go-to! It doesn't irritate my skin or break me out.
I also have a moisturizer by them and it's amazing plus it smells like grapefruit! Moisturizer is very important! I know life gets busy and its super easy to just wash your face, dry it, and call it a day but moisturizer is key to healthy and refreshed skin!
These are some of the moisturizers I use! The sleeping mask is good too! Just to keep the moisture locked in!
These are a lifesaver!! Yes! They work! Very well at that!
These are super satisfying to use! Also super easy! You wet your nose and it dries like paper mache.
This face oil is used to basically just brighten your complexion!
Anyway! These are some products I use to keep my skin happy!
#2- My Favorite Devotion
My devotion time is one of my favorite parts of my whole day! Now, this isn't the devotion I'm currently reading but this one is AMAZING!
It's really important to make time in your day to just read Gods word. I can assure you when you make time to connect with God, your whole day is just better! Sadie has a way of connecting with the readers, mainly because she is near my age so she can relate to issues I may face, because shes been there. With each devotion, she writes it and has her own experience to go along with it.
I enjoy this devotion so much! It also has areas for you to take notes, to write prayers and your thoughts about the devotion. I highly recommend!
Some of my favorite things that I take from this book is the encouragement I get from it. Week Three in the devotion is called "Be Happy, Be Joyful". It talks about happiness, and where it comes from.
The verse that goes along with the devotion is Philippians 4:12-13 (NIV)
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."
After I read the verse, it asked questions that allowed me to think and reflect on what I had just read. I enjoyed doing that! I really like going back and reading what I have wrote.
Moving right along!
#3 Favorite Starbucks drinks? What do I suggest? Secret menu items?
Okay, so when people come up to me and ask for suggestions I always ask several questions before I even begin my line of suggestions.
"Do you like hot or cold drinks?" and "Do you like coffee or tea?"
That's where I go from, I have four more topics to cover so I'm not going to sit and ramble about lattes, mochas, fraps, and espresso drinks.
So, I personally love the Pink Drink! It taste wonderful and its just as pretty!
I also like Vanilla Bean Fraps with almond milk!
Drink #1 is a Pink Drink! Also these are really easy to make at home!
Drink #2 is Neapolitan Ice Cream! It's a secret menu item! I was super excited to make it! Its vanilla bean, strawberry, and mocha!
Drink #3 is what we called a Cosmo and Wanda frap!
I found this on the secret menu! Its so pretty also it was fun to whip up and take a couple pictures of!
Its vanilla bean and matcha.
Drink #5 is something I'd suggest if you really want to wake up!
Three shots over ice with vanilla and soy milk!
Alright, next topic!
#4- Tom Holland
Oh dear.. here we go.. So heres my opinion on him... He is a precious human being that should be protected at all cost! He makes a pretty fantastic Spider-Man!
Hmm. Well I guess if I had to sum up my taste in music I'd have to say
a mix of Contemporary Christian, Pop, and some older music!
Right now some of my favorite artist are Micah Tyler and Hillsong Worship!
I love driving down the road and listening to some of my favorite songs.
Here recently I have been listening to a lot of Taylor Swifts old songs.
#6- My Hobby
Well! I have a few hobbies besides taking selfies with dogs!
I enjoy painting, shopping, baking, blogging, watching movies, and doing makeup!
I don't always have time to do the things I love, because well, life is very busy.
I have a job plus I'm getting ready to enter into my college life soon!
These are some of my paintings. I made one as a graduation present to one of my bff's and the other I did at a church paint party!
My sister is way better at this and she did most of these icing jobs, but I enjoy baking and making cakes! Even if I'm not the best at it! It's lots of fun though!!
Last but not least!
#7- How I put outfits together from top to bottom!
So I'm pretty basic when it comes to outfits.
I love my jeans and t-shirts. But! When I want to dress up a little more casual,
I play by a few rules.
Never wear tennis shoes with skinny jeans! Like, ever.
I like to change things around. Some days I want to throw on some jeans and a t-shirt and call it a day! On other days I want to wear some pilazzo pants or a Carly dress!
Also accessories are key! Even just a simple bracelet can brighten up a simple outfit!
Usually I pick out my shirt and if its a darker shirt I wear light jeans, and if I pick out a lighter shirt I'll wear a pair of darker jeans! I kinda just throw some outfits together. I think a vlog would be easier for me to explain this but I hope my bits and pieces of advice helped a little.
Thanks for all the sweet topics! I hope you enjoy :)
Much Love,
Your Secret Writer :)
