Green #4

No one told me that the China Glaze Summer Days was so completely awesome. I kept thinking they were a shimmer, but according to ALU they are glass flecked. And awesome. These are AWESOME. I tracked down Watermelon Rind to wear for March and it came in the mail yesterday. I'm completely in love with it and am working on tracking down the other 5 from the collection (anyone wanna swap? lol). I used 3 very thin coats of this, I think I could have gotten away with 2 slightly thicker coats but the polish was a little runny at first. Even with 3 coats it dried really fast, I did laundry just 10 minutes after applying Seche Vite and didn't get a single dent (even when my fingers got caught in the little holes of the laundry basket... don't ask how that happened)!

Lake Eyre in the Australian Outback fills with water

THE BIG WET

The water level over this gigantic bridge is over 13 metres deep (43ft)!
Queensland where I live is currently under deluge with rain almost every day for the last few weeks.
All this water will gradually drain off into central Australia where the barren lakes will replenish and come alive again.
Birds, especially the parrot life will florish, as will fish, animal and plant life. Its miraculous how a dry lake bed approximately 1,300,000Km2, or 134,925 Ha, suddenly filles up and explodes with life again.

Green #3

Today I'm wearing Rimmel Camouflage. The entire Rimmel brand has always been hit or miss for me, and this one is pretty good. The brush is a little weird to use, probably since I've been spoiled lately from using so much OPI, but after my first nail I got the hang of it and each nail only took 1 coat! I'm surprised this lived up to it's 60 second promise! I also really love the color on this, it's a perfect true green loaded with green and gold shimmer. I only own one other bottle of the old Rimmels, it's one of the purple ones, and it did NOT hold up well... granted I decided to take it camping last summer since I needed a quick mani in a tent. But I can't BELIEVE a $2 NP wouldn't hold up to the abuse of fire starting, fishing, rock hunting and swimming... okay, in retrospect I was pretty hard on it lol.


In non-np news, I've been back to my regular work out routine for the last week and a half now and I'm feeling great! At the beginning of Decemeber I pulled a muscle in my foot that took until the end of January to heal, and then at the beginning of February I started up again with too much agression and got shin splints. But I've been easing back in to my routine and am now pushing myself every day to my goals. My problem is I haven't updated my workout playlist in about 3 months and I have NO idea what to pick for music now. I'd love to hear some suggestions! I usually listen to upbeat stuff, pop music and some alt rock, sometimes a little metal (if it's not screamy) to get through tough parts. What music do you work out to?

SEEING INTO THE FUTURE

I watched a movie last night with an impressive story. Actually I just glanced at the cover when renting from the local video store, and expected it to be something like "The Time Machine"  which it wasn't.


What I loved about this story was how the future actually relates to our present day church life. I have long been disgruntled at how many people profess to know and love the Lord yet don't voice their faith in every day life. Many are afraid of offending others. But hey, what about how Jesus must be offended!


He tells us in the Matthew 10:33, "He who denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father in Heaven."


Please don't get me wrong. I don't go hitting people over the head with the Bible. But I will always, give Him the honour and the glory. And I will never be, namby pamby concerning my faith.


This is not a new movie. It was released in 2002 yet never made it in the popular charts . Probably due to the fact of being Christian.


Just towards the end, as the Bible Professor is waiting to return to 1890,   his exit from the present has a profound impact on two men who witness him going. 


Please get it and watch it! I hope it opens your eyes as surely as it did mine. 


My score for this story is, ten out of ten. 

Greens #1&2

I'm planning on doing greens for the first 17 days of March! A new one every day, most of them untried, right through St. Patrick's day. Yesterday I swatched Mint Mojito but was reluctant to leave it on because I heard it stained. I liked the color, but not enough to risk it, so I took pics and changed to Essence All Access. Mint Mojito is a 2 coater and Essence only took 1. I had great sunlight today so the shimmer really shows on All Access!


What greens are you most excited to wear for March? I'm saving my most anticipated, OPI Jade is the New Black, NYS Amaranth and RBL Recycle, for closer to the 17th!

I WILL ALLOW THE HOLY SPIRIT TO TAKE OVER MY EATING HABITS

Following an accident which stopped my walking and running I slowly began to put on weight.

God knows the desires of our hearts.

A friend who has always battled with over eating recently began a life commitment to eating properly. She explained, it is not a diet because, diets fail. 

I have begun to read this book and am very impressed. So, I would like to share it with you. 

I am giving a sneek preview so you can make your own evalutation. 

After all.....Life is about choices.

"As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." Joshua 24:15.
