My upcoming project!

Hi Friends!

How are you all doing? Over here, we are doing pretty good. It's been a year of social distancing and living through a pandemic.

When I was sick with Covid back in July 2020, I read a book by Jen Hatmaker called "7: An Experimental Mutiny Against Excess". This book changed my life. I enjoyed it so much I have reread it since then.

I was so happy to find out it was going to be updated and rereleased today, March 23, 2021. The book is now called "Simple and Free: 7 Experiments Against Excess". The idea of the social experiment is "to reduce seven areas of excess—food, clothes, spending, media, possessions, waste, and stress, and made seven simple choices to fight back against the modern-day diseases of greed, materialism, and overindulgence".

Each month, I will be reducing one area of my life. It is an intentional fast. I plan on starting with food. In the first month, I will be eating only seven foods. Yes, only 7 foods the whole 30 days. This project will start on April 15, 2021. It will last 4 weeks long. I will give myself a week off and then start with the next month. This will give us time to purchase the book and make a plan for each month.

Like Jen Hatmaker does in the book, I will be blogging in real time. You will hear the good, the bad and the ugly of how I feel.

I am so excited to experience this. Friends, I would love for you to join me! This will be life-changing and fun.

Lots of love,

Jen

How did I get those eyelashes? You asked, I answered!

So since I posted this picture yesterday on Facebook and Instagram, I received many questions about my lashes. They are called.... easbeauty 2020 Upgraded Magnetic Eyeliner and Eyelashes Kit, Magnetic Eyelashes with Eyeliner, False Lashes 5 Pairs with Tweezers, Easy to Wear Today, they are a lightening deal on Amazon for $16.91! My lashes are basically non-existent. They are very, very blond and fine. All you do is apply the magnetic eyeliner close to your lashline, let it dry and then the lashes snap right on. Easy peasy! I first heard about these from the book club I am in, Jen Hatmaker Book Club. I have been as my son describes "Covid Mommy" since March 2020. Lately, I've needed something to just feel good. These lashes do it for me. Its a small thing that gives me happiness these days. If you end up getting a pair, share of picture of yourself in these beauties! Lots of love, Jen

Book Review: Believe It: How to Go from Underestimated to Unstoppable

Believe It: How to Go from Underestimated to Unstoppable by Jamie Kern Lima My rating: 5 of 5 stars Book release date: February 23, 2021 View all my reviews Believe IT: How to Go from Underestimated to Unstoppable by Jamie Kern Lima was one of the most inspirational and honest books I have read in a very long time. I was fortunate to be part of the book launch team and read this book in advance. It was a page turner. I finished it in less than a day. I couldn't put it down. Jamie's story is a story of love, faith, perseverance, and believing in yourself when no one else does. Jamie believed in herself, her product and her company. She went from almost losing everything to getting her shot on QVC that changed the course of her life and so many other women's lives. She knew if she could get on QVC to showcase her makeup that it would sell. And it sold. Jamie believed in showing real women with real skin problems on TV. This was faced w

Turn Your Eyes (feat. Natalie Grant) // The Belonging Co

Y'all stop what you're doing and listen to this! What a beautiful song! This is an old hymn that I grew up listening to in church and one of my favorites. This version by the The Belonging Co. featuring Natalie Grant just stirs something in your soul. Natalie Grant is a powerhouse. Her voice is a voice of an angel. We are enbarking on a year in what is something we never thought would happen in our lifetime....A global pandemic. Just think a year ago today what you were doing. I was taking my kids on a spring break road trip to visit family and friends. Little did we know that was the last trip we would take for awhile. This past year has been hard on all of us. We have experienced life in a way we never thought was possible. Our essential workers have worked so hard this year. Parents have become teachers and teachers are doing double the work. Families have had to endure so much with social distancing and being unable to see each other for holidays. To all of the loved ones
