Who Needs Diamonds???

False lashes are a girl's best friend!!!!

Sometimes, being a glamazon means going above and beyond in the areas of hair and makeup.  For days when plain, ol' mascara won't do, I've been known to bust out the fake eyelashes.  Some reserve them for special occasions or photo shoots, but I believe that every day is a gift from God which makes every day a special occasion! (See what I did there?)

Thanks in large part to my years as a Theatre Major in college, I have become quite proficient at applying fake eyelashes.  In the following video, I will share with you my tips for application as well as demonstrate (unintentionally, mind you) a few of the pitfalls that come with the process. 

In spite of the camera angle, volume issues and annoying kitten in the background, I hope this video is helpful and I encourage feedback if you make your first attempt at "a girl's best friend"!



3 is better than 1?

I've long known that I'm a glutton for punishment but in case you weren't convinced, I offer further proof.  I am "reinstating" this blog which will bring my blog total to THREE.  That's correct.  I'm going to attempt to run 3 blogs at once.  ("Attempt" is the operative word there.)

The reasoning behind my insanity is simple.  At the She Speaks conference I recently attented, I was given a challenge by one of the publishers.  She suggested that I post every day for 30 days to help determine what areas and audience I'm most passionate about.  Initially, the task seemed nearly impossible but then I realized that if I gave myself three different platforms from which to write, it MIGHT be doable.

That being said, this blog (Goodness, Grace, and All Things Glam) will be devoted primarily to the "glam" side of life.  Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a girly-girl to the core and that I consider myself quite the fashionista in the areas of clothing, makeup, hair and accessories.  I'm often asked about how I do my eye shadow or where I get my jewelry, etc. so I figure why not have a blog devoted to answering those questions and more?!

Another blog that you may already be aware of is Rebel With A Calling.  It is there that I will continue to post about this amazing journey God has me on as well as specific ways we can combat worldliness and live a sold-out life for Christ.

Lastly (and most daunting in my opinion), is my blog entitled, Single Step.  If I'm being honest, this is the blog I don't really want to do.  However, I recognize the importance of the accountability it brings and I already have a small but devoted following.  Single Step is made up of videos that outline my weight loss journey as I use the Weigh Down method to try and "shape up".

So there you have it.

Three blogs.  Thirty days.

Are you in?
