Skin Care Products

Last year I started using Bare Essentials mineral makeup, and I love it! I don't like spending much money on products, and it was a little expensive, but it was well worth it. Since using it, I've been checking out other cosmetics and skin care products out there that are healthy for your skin. I just came across Jane Iredale's selection of mineral makeup on SkinCare-MD.com, which sounds very similar to the mineral makeup I've been using. They also carry a huge selection of other Skin Care Products for all types of skin. If your interested in trying out something new, I would recomend checking out their mineral makeup collection!

There are a ton of different blogger awards to check out. You can nominate as many blog sites as you want AND you can vote for as many as you like!

As I said there are a TON of different random categories ranging from best food blog to best podcast blog and even a worst blog of all time! Winners in each category will be recognized at a one-of-a-kind awards ceremony on June 2nd, at Postiecon in Orlando, FL.

God is so awesome!

I may have mentioned before that I was looking for a subleaser for the house I'm renting. My lease starts next month, but I will be gone for about two months this summer and was trying to avoid paying rent while I was gone. I was getting a little discouraged and thought my chances were pretty slim finding someone by next month...BUT I put an ad about it on our schools online ad board and just got an email from a girl this morning who needs a place for summer still! She seemed to really like the house and sounded like a great canidate to live there this summer! I was so excited because this was such an answer to prayer! Its amazing how God provides. He cares about everything in our lives, even the little things that stress us out. I feel so blessed and am go grateful He pointed my ad out to her! =)

Announcing 1K Tuesdays!

Wow!!! Payperpost has really gone over the top with this one…and it’s great! PPP is always looking for fun ways to help its posties make money. This month it’s with the new “1K Tuesdays!” In the month of April, a $1,000 opportunity will be released with NO segmentation. For those of you who do not know what I mean by this let me explain. PPP gives its bloggers opportunities from different advertisers to post on their blog. However, most come with different restrictions or segmentation set by the advertisers which means your blog must have a certain Google page rank. The higher your page rank, the higher the pay of your opportunities and the more opportunities are available to you. For me, since I only have a page rank of…ZERO, so I usually don’t have many opportunities available for my blog. BUT! With this new 1K Tuesday deal…I have a shot at a HUGE opportunity!

This This 1K Tuesday is sponsored by Zookoda, "is an email marketing application designed specifically for bloggers." Do you have consistent readers to your blog...or want to develop some?? This is a great, free option for blog marketing to get more traffic to your site.

This is really exciting. I don’t know how the girl ended up winning last week…but I’m going to try whatever I can to get the opportunity! I may have to stay at my computer all day…but for $1,000 its soooo worth it! Thanks Payperpost for keeping it fun and giving us the chance to be RICH every Tuesday and thanks Zookoda for sponsoring this 1K Tuesday! =)

Good Friday

As you may know this is "Holy Week", the week that Christ was betrayed, arrested, and sentenced to death on the cross. Today, Good Friday, is the day that Jesus crucified.

'From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
When some of those standing there heard this, they said, "He's calling Elijah."

Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. The rest said, "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to save him."

And when Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, he gave up his spirit.

At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life. They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus' resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many people.

When the centurion and those with him who were guarding Jesus saw the earthquake and all that had happened, they were terrified, and exclaimed, "Surely he was the Son of God!" (Matthew 27:45-54)

I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for the people witnessing! To me, the power of God stands out so much in this verse. When you look back and read what happened when Jesus gave up his spirit..its incredible. Imagine just how terrifying that would have been...especially for those who just put Jesus on the cross. I love how they knew right away (finally) that Jesus "surely was the son of God!" Imagine what it would feel like knowing you just killed the Son of God! But, it was all a part of God's plan from the beginning. Jesus did not stay dead and buried...God raised him to life! Which is why we celebrate Easter! Personally, I think this is the most significant week in a Christians life. Because of the events that took place during this week in Jesus' life, we can have hope that this life is not the end. On the cross, Jesus suffered for OUR sins so that we could have life after death! The amount of love God has for us is unfathomable!

Women Savers

If you're in a relationship, or looking for one, finding a guy who is loving, sweet, and respectful is very important. For many women, all too often they find a guy who SEEMS like he displays all of these characteristics at first, but then once they are committed to him, his real side comes out...and its not pretty. These kind of relationships can lead to abuse, cheating, and other kinds of harm that no women would choose. Women Savers is a site to help women make better choices on the men they choose to date. This site is the World's Largest Database Rating Abusive and Cheating Men. They have hundreds of ratings on men, so if you are at all suspicious of a man, look him up and see what his rating is BEFORE you get involved!
