Rose Water: How to use it + Why You Should.

 ROSE WATER

"How to use it" and "Why You Should"


Hello Everyone! And HAPPY TUESDAY! I hope you are all doing well! Today's post is all about ROSE WATER.. The benefits of it.. How to use it.. And why you should!

Today I will be talking about how to use "ROSE WATER" on your skin. Last summer while living in Hawaii, I discovered this product that I have not stopped using since the day I bought it. I had heard about Rose Water (for the face) before, and always had an interest in it. But I never got around to buying any, until last summer. I purchased this item from a health food store in Honolulu.
And I was instantly addicted. And YOU will be too. Once you try it out, and find out the benefits of it.

But there is more than one way to enjoy rose water. It can be applied to the skin.. 
You can even drink it.. Or you can just inhale it.

You know like the phrase "STOP AND SMELL THE ROSES"?
There's a reason for that.. Why? Because it's good for you!

Watch today's video to find out more information!



And you can also check out these videos.. They are all about ANOTHER item I purchased in Honolulu called "h2ROSE" It's the drinkable rose water. And it is SO delicious. Try all of the flavors!



Also.. To read all about the benefits of ROSE WATER
Check out this blog I found!

Thank you so much for stopping by..
Stay Beautiful, xoxo

Goodbye Virginia, Hello AGAIN Texas!


Before i said "I do" to my Husband, my heart was set on this scripture. Being the baby of 5 and a mama's girl, moving from Texas to Virginia was a HUGE step and a big change. But as a wife,  i decided ahead of time, i would never force my husband to move here nor there, i have said all along, i will go wherever you want and if its in Virginia, then that is where we will live. Mind you, I am not perfect I have complained a few times over the distance and missing my family but never once have I said I wanted to move near them I've only stated that I would like to visit them more often (if it was possible... but i wouldnt force it.) I believe a wife should obey her husband and that HE is the head of the household and the decision maker. And i am all for whatever my Husband decides, because (most of the time) hes right ;) and- he knows what is best for us. And i believe that is how God called us women to be with our husbands. Well anyway, i guess I'll get to the point.. We came here originally just to visit, and to spend Christmas here. We were only supposed to stay a few months and then head back home.. But.. It looks like we have booked our flight back to virginia, we are packing up our things, and well.. we are moving to TEXAS ;) I NEVER thought this would even be a possibility, but God works differently. His ways are not our ways, and his thoughts arent like ours. This is not only an announcement, but its also a little bit of a message- to be humble, be patient, wait on the Lord, he is faithful, and good, and his promises are true, and he will give you the desires of your heart, if you trust in him- and in all of your ways acknowledge him. Whatever your going through, praying for, or waiting on.. Dont be like the israelites who traveled 40 years on an 11 day journey.. Wait on the Lord! & Lean not on your own understanding! AND HAVE FAITH! You never know what God has in store for you! --P.S. not sure if this move is forever, but it is for the moment (: and im quite thankful.

A year ago today.... (my accident)

 
 
 
TODAY is the one year anniversary, for when my accident happened.. The first picture you see is a picture of my Uncle Gene and his Wife Aunt Lucy. It was at his funeral that my accident happened.. We lost an amazing man of God- and i miss him so much-- But it was because of these events that my life was forever changed. And i know Uncle Gene would be so proud of me today!!
 
Some may think it was all tragedy, but i believe it was all for the glory of God. I lost my fait...h the day Uncle Gene died. I thought.. How could something like this happen? Why didnt God save him- we had so much faith in believing he would be healed. And God didnt come through- it caused a huge amount of heartache and discouragement in my life, but that night after leaving the funeral home God came through!! Even though i had lost my faith, believe me when i tell you I GOT IT BACK REAL QUICK!!!! I had to.. I needed God more than ever, who else could i turn to?
 
And thats when God showed me his power, and reminded me.. That there is a reason for EVERYTHING. And all things work together for good for those who love the Lord! I had two surgeries within weeks, i broke a finger, my kneecap, my wrist, 7 ribs, and my tibia in my right leg.. I shouldnt even be alive, i shouldnt even be able to walk, But God is so amazing and so wonderful.. So powerful.. He healed me, and made me new. And now, i am 100% healed and i am a walking miracle, a living, breathing testimony. I praise God every day for what he did for me. And for reavealing hisself to me, even though it was through a terrible situation....
 
God can make beauty out of ashes. Im alive and well because of Gods grace and goodness and his love and mercy. Thank you Lord, even though i was bruised and scarred, you put me back together and made me whole, you changed my life, and i am forever grateful!
 

I cannot Thank and Praise God enough for all he has done for me.
Not just for healing me, and for me surviving the accident,
But for EVERYTHING he has done.

Happy (EARLY) Birthday To My Husband.

So.. It's November 7th, 2014.
10 day's until my Husband's Birthday.
Which i could not be more thrilled about.
Just to think, i get to be with him, on the day
that he was brought into this world, makes me SO HAPPY.

It will be my first time, being with him for his birthday.
As he was, with me, on mine...

This year, on my Birthday, I gave my heart to him.
We said i do, and we've been together ever since.
I never imagained i would get married on my Birthday,
But it happened, and i have no regrets ;)
 
 
6-13-14
Best decision i ever made.. In my whole life..
Was saying, Yes to Alan.

Ever since Day one, of Alan entering into my life,
My life has changed. For the better, of course.

I can still remember, the first phone call,
The day i became his OFFICIAL girlfriend,
And our first kiss.

I liked him instantly, since the first day.
His personality, his voice, his sense of humor,
That's what caught my attention.

For as long as i can remember, i had been praying for someone,
so perfect for me.. I even asked God for specific things.
For him to be tall, and handsome, to be alot like my Grandfather,
To love me like my parents love me... To be a GODLY man..
To be humble...

I had a whole list.. Of things.. That you may or may not think,
Oh-- that's wishful thinking.. Your asking too much..

But God is bigger than that.
God is bigger than any request you could ever imagine or dream.

Alan is, more than i asked for.
He is everything i have ever wanted, and needed, plus so much more.
I thank God every day of my life, For my amazing Husband.

He is gentle, he is patient, he is quick to forgive,
His love is unconditional, he is humble, he is kind,
He is everything that the Bible describes of what "LOVE" is.

He loves me when I am unloveable,
and forgives me, when I don't even deserve his forgiveness.

He is beyond good to me,
He is better to me than i even deserve.
He is one of the greatest men i have ever known.
And i am so proud to be his wife,
I am so happy that on November 17th, 1993,
God placed him on this earth.
I turned 8 the year he was born,
Who would have thought-- all that time,
God was molding & making us to be who we are, just for eachother.

I never in my life dreamed i would find someone like him,
But i did- As Always, God exceeded my expectations,
And gave me the greatest thing i have ever had in my entire life.
Alan...

His heart, his love, his friendship,
His existence, in my world,
I couldnt have asked for anything more.

Thank you Lord, for my Husband, And for our life, and our beautiful marriage.
And Thank you Lord, for creating him, when you did...
I know, it was not only just for you, but for me too.

Alan, Happy (early) Birthday,
And thank you for being my dream come true,
Thank you, for all that you are, and all that you arent.
Thank you for being patient with me, and kind, and understanding, and loving.
Thank you for being in my life, and being my Husband.
The BEST Husband.. Ever.. :)

God truly did, do what he promised to do for me,
He gave me, the desires of my heart... and so so so much more.
Happy Happy Birthday Baby.
I cannot wait to celebrate your birthday with you..


 
 
 
 







 
 "Love is patient,
Love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails."

It's been a while...

Hey Yall,

I know it's been forever since I've posted here on my blog. But I seem to be SO overly busy anymore, that I just haven't had a chance to. IM STILL ALIVE THOUGH ;) Alive, and well, and rockin on. It's November 3rd, and im sitting here at home, well in Me & Alan's apartment anyway, writing away on this keyboard on our desktop computer. I just finished cleaning our place, but im still not done.



I've got a ton of laundry to do. Between Me and Alan, we use 100 towels within days, lol NO JOKE. The laundry never stops. And besides today is MONDAY, and we've been chillin at home here all weekend, so basically, it looked like a tornado hit! I never knew how much it took to keep up with a home. When I was back home (with mom & dad) Sure, I cleaned up stairs, my bathroom, and my room, and occasionally helped out with the kitchen & living room-- But Mom mainly did everything. Looking back now, I see how selfish I was. I should have helped more, because THIS is a lot of work. And you think-- It's a small apartment, with only 2 adults, you think it would be NOTHING to clean... But surprisingly...... It get's messy, easily.. ESPECIALLY with this dog we have now, that is still driving me insane by the way.. She tears up everything.. Paper, wires, whatever, if she can reach it, she destroys it.. And leaves a mess-- for me to clean..



YAY, so much fun. lol Anyway's, enough of me yapping my jaws.... IM STILL posting videos on YOUTUBE yall.. Don't forget about me. I posted a new HALLOWEEN video on Halloween, if your interested... Check it out ;)
