Beauty Before Age

I suppose the reason this has made me take a good long and hard look at myself (no pun intended, I don't think?) is because this month I will be turning 61! Whatever the reason, I have a question to ask you!

Have you looked into the mirror lately?  I mean really looked?!

Or maybe you've been walking in the mall and happen to catch a glimpse out of the corner of your eye, a reflection of someone, only to realize...it was really you?
And you had to stop and asked yourself..."What in the world has happened to me?" 
Did you think "I know I don't look like that. Do I?"
You know it has to be the mirror or maybe that glass is on the cheaper side.
Kinda like those disfiguring mirrors at the amusement park.

OH MY WORD!, that happened to me just the other morning and I wasn't really sure what to do.
I almost started to cry!  WHERE DID YOU GO??!!!

Now I know I'm not going to go under the knife.  That is just too drastic and costly.
Not just initially, but for the future too.  I mean it's not just a one time thing!  And a face lift?  It only lasts for so long.  I mean let's be honest; if you're like me,  I'm hoping I last a lot longer that any face lift will!

Anyway....I started looking, trying to find some easy and yet inexpensive ways to look younger and feel younger too. Some that I have found are over the counter products and others are items you have at home in your drawer, closet, pantry and refrigerator. We will see there are also ways to wear or color your hair that can help make a huge difference. There are ways to wear your clothes and accessories to change where other's eyes would normally tend to go also.

So I hope you will join me on Saturday's as we will begin to discover how to bring out our natural beauty and our inner beauty.  We will discover ways to make that person that's staring back at us in the mirror each and everyday be just a little younger looking!  Maybe a little thinner too.
And I will also share some inner beauty tips as well.

Until then just give that "person in the mirror" a sweet little smile and wink. Love and embrace her because she was made by God.

She is worth far more than rubies....Proverbs 31:10

See ya Saturday!

Glorious Day!

What a glorious day it is today!

I just love the rain because we need it so badly....but it is always such a blessing to receive the sunshine after a few days of clouds and rain.  Isn't it?

Well today I went outside and took a look around. 

It is so amazing how awesome things are after a rain.  Everything just seems so much greener and fresher than ever before.

There is a tree that I just looked at two days ago, outside my kitchen window.  It had just started to bud out little bitty tiny leaves. So small you had to look really hard to see them.  While I was out in the backyard this morning I took another look at it and WOW!  The tree has gone from bare with just a few buds to boom!  It has leaves....real leaves on the branches now!  I know that probably seems so silly to some...but I guess I never really took note to just how quickly our scenery changes here in Texas.

Take a moment out of your busy day today or tomorrow and  just take in all the beauty that nature has in store around you.

We so often take what God has given us for granted don't we?....even the simplest and smallest of things like the leaves on a tree.

Go outside right now and tell me what you see that you had never really ever taken note of.....

Blessings!
