Nutiva Hemp Shakes

This stuff is the bees KNEES! This fantastic, all organic, shake is packed with insoluble fiber from hemp and soluble fiber from inulin for good digestion. One serv ing provides 11 grams of raw organic fiber. (Fiber helps you to digest food properly and keeps you thin) Hempseed is one of God's most amazing superfoods! Hemp contains all 8 essential amino acids and the bonus fatty-acids! This stuff tastes wonderful and is fabulous for breakfast lunch or dinner! I have fallen in love with this greatness- go out and get yourself some! Go to http://nutivahempshake.com/berry.htm for more info. This is great!

Surrender

              Hello world! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted- alot has been going on.
Yesterday at 2:00 AM we dropped my twin sister, Alyssa, and my Dad off at the airport! They are going to Costa Rica to teach First Aid and CPR to the natives there as well as providing Bibles for each home. It has been an interesting experience thus far so we'll see how the rest goes! When one of my family members goes on a missions trip- the whole family is involved, so the last several weeks have been entirely focused on this trip. We're pretty much pooped over here! But they are safely in Costa Rica right now and will be back at the beginning of June :)
             This trip has been such an opportunity to put everything in God's hands. I think that so often we surrender all of the easy things and situations but quietly hold back the important things in our lives. It's not always a war of wills, sometimes we just don't realize that we are still holding back. It is so important to constantly be asking God what we need to surrender to Him- because He is the only one who can show us :)
I hope you all remember, today, to surrender to God- everything situation and every person. Blessings to all of you!

Post-Prom

So everyone knows that prom has come and gone but still; I'd like to show you some gnar-gnar nail designs done by yours truly :)
                               

Abby's nails #1

Abby's Nails #2  (Before we took off the polish around the nails- sorry :/)

Simple and elegant lace nails 

Still very classy but with a little more pizazz! 

There is SO much you can do with some nail polish and a steady hand! Maybe next time I'll be able to post some designs before prom :p

Sunburns and Sweet Alternatives

So, I was talking to a friend this morning and she was saying how she got this gnarly sunburn but didn't have any Aloe Vera to cool her burning skin- people there is so much more that you can use besides Aloe to soothe you're burnt skin (ew, burnt skin- that's a lot grosser sounding than I thought it would be)!  Look to your fridge for sour cream- it not only helps to relieve the burn but it will brighten your skin as well ;) Or if you just happen to have a banana you're not using- mash it up and rub it on your sunburned area! Also if you have anything with eucalyptus in it, that will help too. Remember, there are always things in your fridge to help with anything you need!

Here's a quicky blogget

     So here's a little bit about myself- I'm not a writer. I love talking, but for some reason when I try to put my thoughts down on paper it comes out like gobblygoop :p  And yet I want so badly to share with you all of the weird and helpful things I have learned and loved over the last few years- be it mayonnaise in your hair for conditioner, honey on your lips for chap-stick, fun hair styles and make-up tutorials or just some encouragement to help you through your day. From my heart to yours be blessed! 

   You know how some days you feel like you've accomplished soooooo much?? I've had one of those days! I am now the official owner of Oo Oo Feathers! I'm selling beautiful, hand-made feather earrings that are funky and fun :) You can like Oo Oo Feathers on Facebook if you feel the urge :D
