Happy Easter!!! #becausehelives (Easter, Jamberry Update, life)



Happy Easter Y'all!!!! So.....How have you been????  Ive been good y'all!!!  Actually been super busy!  I can honestly say I didn't realize being a Jamberry Consultant would be this much work!!!!!!  Truthfully......I'm LOVING it!!!  With me being disabled , It really does feel good to be doing something!!!!  I'm starting to think that even if I make NO sales, I wouldn't even care!!  It would be nice, but, you get what I am saying!!!!  I am super stoked because I have 2 open parties going right now!!!!!  Ive even made me an office space........

BELIEVE All things are possible if you just believe

If you would like a sample, email me at blessedglamour@outlook.com

We colored Easter Eggs tonight!!! We had so much fun!!  We did the rice method!!!  To dye eggs this way you will need.......

  • rice
  • some cups (we used plastic)
  • food coloring
  • gloves
  • Easter eggs
Put some rice in each cup and put your gloves on!!  Add food coloring to the rice. Cover the opening of the cup and shake it real good to get the food coloring through all the rice.  Once you get the colors you want, take an egg and drop in into the rice, cover the top and SHAKE AWAY!!!  This is the final product.......

It was a big mess but, the boys loved it!






Once the boys went to bed, my daughter and myself had some things to do *wink wink*


I really dontt know what we were thinking!!  The buckets were too little to hold everything!! haha  Once we got the mess cleaned up, guess what!!??  The Easter Bunny came!!!!








poor Kota got sooooo little compared to Karsyn!!!  lol BUT I am proud of my daughter!!  We are truly blessed beyond measure!!

Now, onto a serious note!!!  PLEASE, don't forget the real reason of Easter!!  Our Savior!!  He was sent here to die for our sins and on the 3rd day, he was resurrected! I would love to share this talk from Elder Russell M. Nelson titled #BecauseHeLives

"One of the most significant of all scriptural phrases is found in Matthew 28:6, “He is not here: for he is risen.” Given by angelic messengers near an empty tomb, this proclamation declared that the Lord Jesus Christ had overcome death through His Atonement and Resurrection. Later He appeared to His Apostles and charged His followers to declare their witness to the world that He lives. As followers of the Lord Jesus Christ in these, the latter days, we have also been charged with testifying of the realities of the Savior’s Atonement and Resurrection. This Easter season gives each of us a personal opportunity to discover His sacrifice, embrace His teachings, and share His joy. Discover His Sacrifice During that first Easter season two millennia ago, the Lord suffered unspeakable agony in the Garden of Gethsemane and on the cross as He took upon Himself the sins and pains of all humankind. Betrayed by one He had called friend, He was arrested, scourged, mocked, and crucified. The Savior Himself has taught that this great sacrifice was for a purpose: “For behold, I, God, have suffered these things for all, that they might not suffer if they would repent; “But if they would not repent they must suffer even as I; “Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink— “Nevertheless, glory be to the Father, and I partook and finished my preparations unto the children of men” (D&C 19:16–19). As we discover, through prayerful and purposeful study, the impact His mission in mortality has on us, the Holy Ghost can teach and testify to us of the Atonement’s eternal significance. Embrace His Teachings With the understanding that comes from discovering the power of His Atonement, we ask ourselves, as did the Jews of ancient Jerusalem, “What shall we do?” The Apostle Peter instructed them to be baptized. “Then they that gladly received his word were baptized” (see Acts 2:37–41). Likewise, we also need to embrace the Savior’s teachings. Indeed, embracing His teachings—and helping others do so—is the great work of these latter days. That is why we have missionaries; that is why we have temples—to bring the fullest blessings of the Atonement to faithful children of God. That is why we respond to our own calls from the Lord. When we comprehend His voluntary Atonement, any sense of sacrifice on our part becomes completely overshadowed by a profound sense of gratitude for the privilege of serving Him. Share His Joy During His brief ministry in the American hemisphere, the Savior observed that the Nephites had discovered His sacrifice and embraced His teachings, and He said unto them, “Blessed are ye because of your faith. And now behold, my joy is full” (3 Nephi 17:20). As we follow this pattern of discovering the power of the Savior’s Atonement and embracing His teachings, we experience the joy that comes from striving to be more like Him. As we do so, we naturally want to share our joy with those we love, inviting them to discover His sacrifice, embrace His teachings, and share in His joy. To share the joy of this Easter season, please visit HeLives.mormon.org to view a powerful video and share your testimony of the Savior using the social media hashtag #BecauseHeLives. Like those angelic messengers in the meridian of time, we also declare, “He is not here: for he is risen.” He lives. And because He lives we, too, can know “peace in this world, and eternal life in the world to come” (D&C 59:23)."

You can find the talk right here.


Anyways, I pray each and everyone of you have a beautiful Easter Sunday!!  I am so thankful for my Savior and his Atonement!!  I am thankful to my Heavenly Father for blessing us to be able to even celebrate Easter!!!

Please, #stayblessed!!

Muahs!!

ITS OFFICIAL!!!!

Hey beauties!!!  I hope this blog finds you doing well!!!  I have to say I am super excited to announce that I have become a Jamberry consultant!  Yay!!  I am soooo doing a happy dance!!


Y'all know I have been on the fence about this decision.  I had a few quirks I had to get passed to know that I REALLY love my Jams!!!!  You cant sell anything if you don't stand behind it 110%!!  right??!! Well, with some help from my consultant and a  little practice,  I was able to solve my issues.

The 1st issue I was having was my tips weren't sealing properly.  This is something I have figured out from trail and error and practice!! Here are my biggest tips!


  1. Before doing ANYTHING after applying your wraps, let them cool completely!!!!
  2. I trim my nails down with nail clippers when  I trim off the excess wrap.  This is a personal preference, but.....it works!!! 
  3. Use a glass file to file your edges down
Like I said, it has taken me a few manicures to get it right and find what works for me.  I am sure any consultant and customer can tell you that with time, you find your on personal way of applying them because everyone is different!!

Another issue I had was horrible cause it really shows I am getting old!!! So, for my older ladies.....this is for you!!! lol  My eyes are getting pretty bad with my old age.  When I measured my wrap and went to take the back off(cause it has a sticker like back)  I couldn't get my tweezers to get in between the wrap and the back!!!!  My consultant told me to try the orange stick and guess what!!??  Totally worked!!!!!!  So, my last manicure took me NO time and looks AMAZING!!  And I did it while watching my 2 year old grandson!!!

Faded Deco


Isn't this just pretty??  And perfect for Spring & Easter too!!  It was sooo fast I even had time to do a matching pedicure!!!!

How stinking adorable?


With NO dry time, I had plenty of time in the day to make forts and play with my grandson!

he was trying to NOT get a picture! He thought that was too funny!

he was spinning in circles

till he got dizzy and fell down

so, why not roll around??

GOTCHA!

he was getting sleepy


he LOVED the fort we made!

out

then in

you cant see me;)

Tomorrow I will be starting my Launch Party!!  I am really hoping some of y'all will go check my site out

 http://beyondblessedglamour.jamberrynails.net/

With Mother's Day right around the corner, what better way to treat her???  I know I always wanna find something different and this is much more exciting!


Or, better yet!!  For those of you mommies out there with lil mini me's.......Why not get your friends together.....order some adorable mommy & me sets and have a Mommy & Me party!!!  Go all out and add some tea!!  Your daughters will thank you!!!!!


I am super excited as I open a new chapter in my life and I cant wait to share it with you!!!!

As always.......#stayblessed!!

Muahs!!

#SubscriptionboxSaturday!! (beautybox5)

Good Morning my Beauties!!!  How are y'all today??  I am doing pretty good and I know I haven't done a beauty blog in  a min so, its about that time!!!!!  Today I got my March BeautyBox5 to share with you!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who don't know, Beauty Box 5 is a $12 monthly subscription box.
           
              What you get:

Beauty Box 5

Every month we'll send you a mix of makeup, beauty accessories, hair, skincare, fragrance, body, and nail products that we can't get enough of. Our secret? We share products that really work, so you'll receive luxury, drugstore, niche, eco-conscious, and even vegan brands.
Whether you're a cosmetic newbie or a beauty guru, identify yourself as adventurous and playful or classy and mature, like to splurge on high-end items or be a savvy spender, we have everything you're looking for.







If you want to get you one, go here, beautiful!:)

I actually got my box a little while ago and I am just now getting around to posting it!!  I am sorry but, I am getting old and chasing an 18 month old toddler just wears me slap out!!!  lol  BUT I like that I am doing it a little later because I have had a chance to use the products!!!!  So, lets get started!!!


This month the card says:

"Forget taking a spring break- spring into high gear through your lazy days this season!!!  Bold liner and lashes mean that even in your downtime, you still look like a million bucks.  Getting ready doesn't have to add stress- just prep your skin and gloss on, because even if you're still working hard to get exactly where u wanna be, you're always the boss of your makeup bag"

#HUSTLE March 2k15

So, the 1st thing I noticed opening my box.........

SNAKES!!!  YAAASSSSS! They kept the cute colorful ones instead of going back to the black ones!! I LOVE the festive ones, as I had mentioned last month!!!  Maybe that means that they do listen to all the beautiful ladies that blog about this box every single month!! Huge thumbs up to them!!


First thing I got is this Eslor Introduction Collection- 2nd edition


Retail: $28 2 fl oz, $38 2 fl oz, $38 1.7 fl oz, $85 1.7 fl oz

Your skin is about to seriously thank you! This lavish line is completely paraben free and gently pampers and hydrates your face without stripping away natural oils. #eslor

I have gotten this before and I don't think I ever have used it??  Probably have it tucked in a drawer with my extra foil packets I get.  I wanna try it and I think I will this time.  I just don't see how u can tell whether I like it with just one use??? I mean, the price of this is kinda high end in my book.  I wanna know for a fact that it works before I spend that kind of money!!  ESLOR??!!  you listening??  We need a little more to try!!   IDK?? Maybe its just me????

Next I have the Styli-Style Line & Seal Twist Mechanical Eye Liner


Retail: $4.99 0.01 oz (full size)

These creamy, pigmented pencils go on super smooth to give a perfect line or wing and their fun twist-up design means you never need to use a sharpener!!!!! *assorted colors #styliStyle

I got this blue color.....I believe the color is Lapis??  Not sure but that is what I see on the pencil.  I'm not huge on blue, but, with my blue eyes.....it really is a pretty color!!


I loved using this!! I have been trying to get the "winged" look down and it seemed easier using this!!  I am pretty sure I need to get this in black!! lol And the fact that it is mechanical is nice too cause I cant find my sharpener at the moment!!!

really pretty


Laugh Out Loud by Nanacoco Lip Gloss


Retail: $3.99 0.22 fl oz (full size)

Warning: the gloss addiction starts now.  Pretty pigments, seriously sweet smell factor and non-sticky formula all make this our latest lip product crush!! *assorted colors* #nanacoco


I'm NOT a lip gloss girl!!  HATE lip gloss!!  lol BUT, I do keep an open mind and I do try out the glosses when  I receive them!!  I have other Nanacoco lip glosses and they are pretty good.  They smell nice and they aren't as sticky as some others I have tried.  I got the color "call me babe"


It's very nude! It made my lips look really goldish......not my fav.....BUT the packaging is adorable!

time for the worst and best!!!!!



Elite Theraputics- Rosemary Eucalyptus Body Cream


Retail: $19 8 oz

Smooth on natural goodness for your whole body!!  Never greasy, this luxe lotion replenishes your skin with an organic blend of oils and healing aloe vera- plus, it smells divine, too.  #EliteTherapeytics

Let me explain myself on this one.  lol  I'm not gonna bash this company because the reason this is my least fav is personal preference!!  I tried this and OMGosh!! IT SMELLS SOOOOOOO BAD!! So stinky!!  The formula was GREAT!!  It wasn't greasy and my hands felt amazing.....BUT every time my hand goes to my face........ewwwwwww!! I can not stand the smell of it!! hahahaha


Scandalous by Nanacoco Thickening Mascara


Retail: $4.99 0.33 oz (full size)

Embrace va-va-voom volume with this new favorite!  The flexible silicon ball brush gets up close and personal to majorly magnify your lashes!! *assorted colors*



I'm so in love!!! I have used this every day since I tried it!!  I'm not a big fan of receiving mascaras in my boxes because I seem to always get them! I have a bag of lil mascaras!! But, girl!!! This does the job! I love how thick my lashes look after applying 2 coats!!!!  I also got lucky by getting the color "very black"  I will  be purchasing this again in the future!!  My go to mascara now!!

Overall I am pretty happy with this months box!!  Don't forget, if u wanna sign up, click here.

I hope y'all enjoy your beautiful Saturday!!!!
