Don't they say the higher the hair, the closer to heaven... Well we are going to get heavenly!!!
I love to do my hair this way because it last for a couple of days with out a lot of touching up or messing with... AKA I am lazy and it's worth it to me to put in a little effort on a few times a week instead of EVERYDAY.
Who's with me!?
I've been doing my hair like this since high school, and I try other things but always find myself going back to the good old Velcro rollers.
If you want to see how I achieved really big hair with tons of volume click on the YouTube video below.
as always thanks for being here! I love you and if you are new here please introduce yourself I'd love to get to know you.
Love ya- Jess
PS- What happened today that gave you the little flicker of hope that you needed? - I didn't crash my car :) Tender mercies all around!
Do you apply your makeup and then a few hours later its shiny, or has completely disappeared from your face?? Here are a few tips and tricks on getting your makeup to look great all day long!!! #1- Prime the skin. Just like using primer when you paint your walls you want to prime your face. Primer will help even out your skin texture, fill in the pours, and give something for the makeup to stick to. The Maskcara Setting Spray - Can be used to help prime the face before applying makeup. It's great at helping control the oil on your face so this is a great option if you feel like you are more on the oily side.
Pore Master Sebum Control Primer- This is a Korean beauty product and a dupe for the benefits Porefessional primer. You get way more bang for your buck with this product. This is definitely comparable to Benefit's Porefessional. The consistency is the same, but this actually stayed put under my makeup longer than Benefit's version.
#2- Use a setting powder if oily. After applying your makeup you will want to set everything with a setting powder. This helps set everything and makes it so your makeup wont slide around on you. Some options to use are the Maskcara vanilla dust.- This is nice because it's small and will fit nicely in your compact. I also like to use it on my eyes to clean up eye-shadows.
These were recommended to me from Sarah over at @allthings_beauituflly she has a beautiful account which is mostly makeup but I am glad she shared about these boots because I love them.
These 3 Things were recommended to me from Kayti @thebeyoutybureau- Guys she can't lead me wrong! I've been happy with each of her recommendations that I've ended up buying. If you aren't following her you should.... but be warned because there will be less money in your back account... I kid (sort of).

So one reason why I wanted to start and do a blog is because there is so much more to me than beauty and makeup... and sometimes it's hard to show that on a little square of Instagram and Facebook.
For those of you that don't know, I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Yesterday I sat down and listened to this song on repeat a few times.
Tears built up in my eyes.
I really hope that I can teach my kids when they have their doubts that they will have faith to do exactly what this song says.
If you haven't listened to it... you should!!
Back in October 2016 I had just suffered from my third miscarriage and I didn't have any idea what the future held for me.
My faith was shattered and I really doubted everything I had believed in my whole life.
I had so many unanswered questions, and the love that people spoke of from our Heavenly Father and Savior felt so far away.
I started reading the Book of Mormon... and Nephi became my hero and a friend. I realized that he suffered the same things that Lamen and Lemual suffered but it was his choices and actions that led him to be faithful and to believe in God.
I had a choice placed before me, I could be like Nephi or I could be like his brothers. I could choose to have faith like Joseph Smith or I could turn away.
I could choose to have faith like so many faithful and amazing women that had suffered the same heart wrenching things I had faced... or I could turn away and let my doubts creep in.
I am so glad I stuck it out and I choose to do what this song says. I slowly found little flickers of light and hope, and I felt Gods love again.
I know there is a loving Heavenly Father and a Savior that has paid the price for me to return back to live with them.
I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and he restored his church upon the face of the earth.
I know that we can be with our families forever!!
The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ and I love to read and learn from it!! I know it is true. It has blessed my life in so many ways.
If you would like to learn more about what I believe you can visit here...
Or if you would like your own copy of the Book of Mormon feel free to message me, I would love to send you one!!
