Valentine's Day Makeup, Inspiration and Day #11

MY INSPIRATION!!!!
Okay... Here is my inspiration!!!
Zuzana Light and her husband Fredrick Light

 They are so down to earth and real. I enjoy listening to their "Coffee Talks."

I mean, come on, look at those abs!

She is my inspiration for working out... And my motivation. She has her own blog: http://www.bodyrock.tv. It's basically all about working out and nutrition. All of her workouts are done at home and with very few equipment. They are hard core workouts.

She isn't my inspiration just for working out though. Her personal story is amazing. She did an interview with a German magazine and she laid everything out on the table. She is truly an amazing individual and she is so strong, physically and mentally. Read her story here.

This would be my makeup for Valentine's Day (minus the red lips). Very non-traditional and very sweet. It was inspired by the lead singer of Fireflight, Dawn Michele.

To: A Deceased person I wish you could talk to
Papaw, I love you and I miss you so much. You were my most favorite grandpa. I keep comparing the others to you, but they don't even come close. I think I should stop doing that because it only makes me miss you even more. I know you were upset the last time I saw you because I didn't sit on your lap. I was so scared I would break your legs because they were so thin. I still remember the last time I spoke to you and I hold onto that memory will all my strength. I am sorry I didn't believe you. You would know what I mean by that. I'm sorry I got mad at you for that. I really am. I regret getting mad at you. And now I cannot apologize. I love you so much and I miss you beyond words. I plan on carrying on the Rice Tradition you started without knowing: owning Corvettes. Every single time I see one I think of you. I'll own one eventually. I love you.

Faith and Day #10

Okay, this video is about my experiences in the gym. It's not meant to make fun of anyone or to berate them. This is just a vlog about the gym. =)

Lately I have been really getting into my faith. I have come to realize that no one is ever going to be there for me like God will. It has been such a long and enduring journey. I have been hurt by those closest to me and I am still working on forgiveness. However, I am now really trying to put myself into my faith. God will always be there. Others in my life might not be.

I found a new band... They are a christian rock group and they are amazing. They toured with Skillet on their Awake and Alive tour. They are just amazing. They are called The Letter Black. I did a tutorial on the lead woman's makeup. Her name is Sarah Anthony and she is beautiful with an amazing voice... The song is called Hanging on by a Thread.

Here is my tutorial. It's not meant to be as dark as her makeup, but it is very similar.

To: Someone I don’t talk to as much as I’d like to
I don't really have anyone I wish I talked to more... I take that back. God. I wish I talked more with Him. I know it sounds bad, but sometimes I forget to pray or forget to tell Him about my troubles, even though He already knows. This is something I am going to be working on in the near future. Everyone has something they need to better about themselves, and that is just one of many things I need to improve upon.

Videos and Day #9

Okay, so lately I have taken up fan fiction writing again, which has taken up most of my time the last three days. I am sorry I haven't updated my blog in a while. I have a few new videos... =)

It is a pretty simple tutorial on three ways you can tie a head scarf. I bought them from headcovers.com.

Gym tips and my experience with the gym is the topic of this video. I'm not trying to bash people, but this is the full out truth and what I think when I go to the gym. Plus, there are some tips meshed in the video in between rants and stories. =)

Okay, this video was emotional for me. Forgiveness is something I have been working on for almost two years. It is really hard to forgive people who have hurt you deeply. I think I am close to the emotional state of forgiveness for one of the people, but the other will take much more time. What they did has been strung out over a years time and when someone hurts you as deeply as this person has hurt me, it's hard to forgive. So I have been working on this for some time. It is a long and enduring process.


To: Someone Who I Wish I Could Meet
God, I want to meet you. Of course, I will meet You when my time for Judgment comes, but I would like to meet You before then. I want to know what I need to do. I want to know how I have done in the 19 years I have been alive. I know I haven't done my best, but I would like to know. Sometimes I don't understand why You do the things you do, but I trust you. I know You have been here for me through everything. Sometimes I don't feel You, but I know You are there. I want to become closer to You, but I do have trouble. You know I do. I want nothing more than to be as close to You as possible. I love You.
